Need a tag that recognizes the homepage.

[peeta]

I want to use a javascript to open a div popup on the homepage only. The div and the initialization script are in footer.tpl so it tries to execute on all pages.

 

I need something like this

 

{if is_homepage}

show this

{/if}

 

Can anyone guide me on this? Thanks

If you mean the support home try this:

 

 

{if $pagetitle == 'Support'}
   <!-- Code here -->
{/if}

I use that now but I have a long title 'Turnkey Webhost with free website template and E-commerce package' which is subject to change so I wanted something which could identify just the home page. Is it not possible?

[BAJI26]

I think there is a post here that has coding that will recognise the pages...

You can use the javascript window.location function:

 

if(window.location == "index.php"){

 

}

 

Although I'm not sure if this will work with the query strings.

 

You could always put the code in the template file for the homepage only?

I have spent considerable time searching for anything related to page recognition and nothing useful is coming up. Does anyone know of the thread which BAJI26 is referring?

Does using:

 

{ if $pagetitle eq 'Company - Home'}

 

helps you? I am assuming that you just want to do

something on the home page. I am also looking for

something that identifies the page via URL.... but have

not found anything get too...

baji26 already suggested that method and I explained why I didn't want to use it. If it remains the only method then I have no choice but I'd rather something else. My entire website is WHMCS so the home page title is quite long (something to do with SEO).

 

Maybe if there was an editable file in the root called homepage.php then I could possibly assign a variable like $smarty->assign('homepg', $true); and then use {if $homepg}stuff{/if}
