Different Header on Homepage

[ssoylu1996]

Hi,

 

I am using WHMCS Software for my website. What I need help with is that, I want to have another Header.php that is slightly different from all the other pages because i want to have a slider on the homepage header, just under the navigation but if i edit header.php the slider shows on every page.

 

So, is it possible to duplicate header.tpl to header_home.tpl so I can modify it without having to display on the other pages too.

 

Thank You.

I used .php extension, It should be .tpl

You could mess around with if statements but why not simply edit the homepage.tpl and put the slider at the top.

I have tried editing the homepage.tpl, however i want the top area of slideshow slightly behind the navigation because the navigation background is plain and needs something to cover it. I can modify this and apply the slider to the header but i dont want it displaying on all pages.

 

Could you tell me which "If Statements" I could edit?

{if $filename eq "index"}

Whatever you want for the home page

{ELSE}

What you want for all other pages

{/if}

 

This code also works good for menus as well.

 

It can be expanded for something like this:

 

 {if $filename eq "index" or $filename eq "domainchecker" or $filename eq "whateverPage"}

{/if}

I've done what you have said but, when I go to other pages there is no header and at the homepage, there is something like a double header right now.

 

I have edited the header.tpl, thats correct?

 

{ELSE} is not quite working..

 

Could this be the problem?

{if $filename eq "index"}
         some content..
                 {if $loggedin}
                   navigation list stuff
                  {else}
                   non-registered client navigation stuff
                  {/if}
{else}
         some content..
                 {if $loggedin}
                   navigation list stuff
                  {else}
                   non-registered client navigation stuff
                  {/if}
{/if}

Well basically you would keep the header code the same throughout the site.

 

Then for the slideshow you would have something like this after your header.

 

{if $filename eq 'index"} slideshow stuff {/if}

 

Guess theirs really no need for the else part of the statement.

 

Hope this helps some.

I see.. Is there a code for something like "if file is not index display this" Contents.. "/if"

I haven't tested it but you can give a try:

{if $filename != 'index'}
Content you would like to add for every page except index
{/if}

Hi,

 

Thank you so much for your help, I used:

 

{if $filename eq 'index'} slideshow stuff {/if}

to display the slideshow on the header for the homepage. Then I added the original header using this:

 

{if $filename != 'index'}
pages other than index
{/if}

i repeated this with the CSS links because i was having a couple of problems with the design and I am using two seperate stylesheets now. But everything is working the way i want to.

 

Thank You!
