How do I make some HTML changes only on the front page?

[ilushkin]

As I see if I add some html code on main.tpl The changes automatically applied to all categories. What if I want to edit only front page? what do I do?
///hint: maybe has something to do with main2.tpl???

Hi ilushkin, in main.tpl, just enclose whatever you want to display for the first screen in an if statement with category id equals to zero. For example this:
Content visible to registered users only.

Content visible to registered users only.
Thank you it works perfectly.

I assume this method could be used to make changes to individual category pages too. :)

Of course.

Using the ID is nice for seperate images on each category as well.

Looks good but now <h1> This is the first screen! </h1> comes on The Latest Links Category and Top Hits, which is far from the first screen :(

Hi ilushkin,

If you don't want the text to show up in Latest Links or Top Hits, just use this instead:

Content visible to registered users only.

Can there be more than to variables? Like $p and $id?

[rawaccess]

alright, lets expand on this.

is there a way to have code NOT appear on the SUBMIT page? i dont want a javascript counter to appear there.

in the meantime, i will look in the db to see if there is a clue based on what is already posted.

Hi, I'm not sure what you mean exactly, but yes, you can have more than 1 variable in the comparison. Take the quoted text above for example, the if statements is comparing against $category.ID and $p.

Hi rawaccess, if you inserted the code above in main.tpl, it would not appear in the SUBMIT page. May I know what exactly do you mean?

Thanks.

[rawaccess]

so, what are the options?

we can have code only appear on the first page
code can appear on first page plus top hits and/or new links page.
we can have code appear on all pages.

this i have learned.

but can we have code (javascript in my case) appear on all pages except the submit page without having to insert the code on each page manually?

Hi rawaccess, you insert the javascript in main.tpl, it will appear in all on all pages except the submit page and admin pages.
