Hi There,

Is there a way to add content to templates/Page.ss that will only display if a user is on a specific page?

If user is on the news page, display this <h1>Hello world</h1>

A simple work around would be the best as I am new to this.

Thanks,
plush

A number of ways to do it, each with varying degrees of usefulness

<% if URLSegment = news %>
.. on news
<% end_if %>

Do you have a php page type for news pages? Then you could do

<% if ClassName = NewsPage %>
.. on news
<% end_if %>

Which is more robust. Or you could setup a NewsPage.ss template to have it

Hey Willr,

This works great! I do have multiple news page types. NewsHolder, NewsLandingPage, NewsPage, Newsroom.

Is there a way to have the content display only on these page types?

Then you could do something like this on your Page.php

function IsNewsPage() {
$news = array('NewsHolder', 'NewsLandingPage', 'NewsPage', 'Newsroom');

return (in_array($this->ClassName, $news));

And then you can use <% if IsNewsPage %>...
