[Forum] Advertising - Manageing Ads

[1QuickSI]

Under 4.1.3 I am using the stock advertisement management system. However I have certain forums/catagories that I do not want advertisements to show up. Is there a way to block certain catagories/forums from displaying advertisements?

[M.Scheel]

use a condition:

<vb:if condition="$GLOBALS[forumid] == XX OR $GLOBALS[forumid] == YY OR $GLOBALS[forumid] == ZZ" />
SHOW ADS
</vb:if>

Thanx, but where do I insert the code? I am guessing a template? Would you happen to know which one if so and location within? I am new to this sort of thing...

Just insert it like that in the Ad Manager where you put your ad code

If I was to want to block forum 100 and all child forums under it, where would I insert the 100? Sorry very new to this stuff.

[M.Scheel]

use a condition:

<vb:if condition="$GLOBALS[forumid] != 100 AND $GLOBALS[forumid] != YY AND $GLOBALS[forumid] != ZZ" />
SHOW ADS
</vb:if>

YY and ZZ being the Subforum IDs.
Add as many as you need

When I add this code and save it I get "adding child to non-existent node!"
Not sure what I am doing wrong...
Thanx everyone for the help

Ok it seems the error is thrown when ever I use/enter

</vb:if> at the end of the code.
