If somebody can tell me how to get {story_topic_id} or another way to get the topic ID in article.thtml, I'll reward the GL community with a tutorial about putting topic-related banners below an article.

Not sure what you are asking here? Do you mean you need the topic id (for a plugin) when an article is displayed forin geeklog?

In need to display topic-related banners. I´m using Open-X to manage my banners, and want to display a different bannercode for each topic below each separate story on mydomain.com/article.php/just-a-story.

That means I need to display the topic ID in article.thtml so I can use it as a parameter in OpenX. There is no template variable available for the topic ID in article.thtml at the moment.

Around line 265 in article.php, after the line

$story_template->set_var('story_id', $story->getSid());

you could add the line

$story_template->set_var('topic_id', story->DisplayElements('tid');

You would then have to add in the {topid_id} tag to the article.html file.

This should work when geeklog displays the full article but I haven't tested it or anything.

We simply made a different centerblock(top) for each topic we wanted banners to display in.

Yeah, me too, but I also need topic-related banners below each separate story. If they did not haver to be topic related, it would be enough to put the banner code in the bottom of article.thtml.

Now a simple way to target the ads from OpenX to the topic ID:

First have a look over here (pdf tutorial). It´s quite simple:

- put the code above around line 265 in article.php
- make a fitting bannerzone
- go to ´invocation code´
- type {topic_id} in the textfield from the source parameter
- generate the invocation code and put this in layout/your_theme/article/article.thtml
- while uploading the banner, choose the ´Site-source´ delivery limitation at the Delivery Options, and put in the limitation you like...
