Hi

If you want something to only show on home page try this.
{if $category.id == 0}
(here is the HTML code for the box which should be shown only on the home page)
{/if}

how can we also set to display only on these pages?

Search
New Links
Top Links
Popular Links

Do you want to hide Home, Suggest Link and Suggest Category buttons from all pages?

Hey Nick!

I am loosing my mind trying to figure this out. :wallbash:

Lets take FireAndIce template for an example.
There is left column with main categories in it and it is displayed on all pages.
I want to hide this column from index page only.
I tried to use:
{if $category.id > 0}
(left column with main cats)
{/if}
but this way my column will be also hidden on "Links details", "Search", "Top links" and other pages except category pages.
Is there a way to exclude main index page only and keep all other pages???

Thanks

I believe that Simon can suggest better way to achieve this goal, but my code bellow is work perfect also:
{if $category.id neq 0}
<div class="box">
<div class="box-caption">Main {$lang.categories}</div>
<div class="box-content">
{foreach from=$top_categories item=top_category}
<p class="top-category">{$top_category.title} ({$config.base}{$config.dir}{$top_category.path }/)</p>
{/foreach}
</div>
</div>
{elseif $tab neq 'home'}
<div class="box">
<div class="box-caption">Main {$lang.categories}</div>
<div class="box-content">
{foreach from=$top_categories item=top_category}
<p class="top-category">{$top_category.title} ({$config.base}{$config.dir}{$top_category.path }/)</p>
{/foreach}
</div>
</div>
{/if}
This code is actual for PRO 1.2

Perfect!
This is the element I could not figure out:
...{elseif $tab neq 'home'}...
Thanks Nick! :applause:

This is fine for the categorie pages but what about pages like top and New links?

Hello Olaf,

I think it will help you:

{if $tab eq "popular-links"}
(here is the HTML code for the box which should be shown only on the Popular Links page)
{/if}
{if $tab eq "new-links"}
(here is the HTML code for the box which should be shown only on the New Links page)
{/if}
{if $tab eq "top-links"}
(here is the HTML code for the box which should be shown only on the Top Links page)
{/if}

Hello Dave,

I don't think that this is the solution, you need this code:


{if $category.id == 0 && $tab eq 'home'}
<p style="margin:10px 0 0 5px;">
<a href="http://www.free-pagerank-checker.com/" title="Free PageRank checking tool" target="_blank">
<img src="http://www.free-pagerank-checker.com/pr.php?url=www.1linkdirectory.com" border="0" alt="PageRank" />
</a>
</p>
{/if}

<img src="http://www.free-pagerank-checker.com/pr.php?url=www.1linkdirectory.com" border="0" alt="PageRank" />
</a>
</p>
{/if}


The decision offered by you should work on event presence the user on the main page of directory.

The question was about how to detect the mainpage...

[Dave Baker]

I like these main pages too.... :sorry:
