Hi,

Possibly dumb question, but is there a means of testing for whether the current page is the homepage? I'd like to modify the behaviour of an include for when on the homepage, and don't really want to create a homepage specific include to do the job. Something like

<% if home %>
...
<% endif %>

Been through the docs, but see nothing obvious... but then I'm still acclimatising to silverstripe

Thanks in advance

Rob

<% if URLSegment = 'home' %>

<% end_if %>

Thanks... However

<% if URLSegment = 'home' %>

<% end_if %>

generates a syntax error due to an unexpected '}', which is odd.

If I remove the quotes from 'home', then all works OK.

Cheers

Rob

Yes, sorry. My bad :)

Hi Guys, I am trying to accomplish the following: If the request is Home then display banner, otherwise just hide the banner.

i have tried this method
<% if URLSegment = home %>
<% include main-banner %>
<% end_if %>
But this does not do the trick for me.

Does that include work if you take away the <% if %> tags? I just notice it doesn't follow the regular naming scheme (MainBanner) but I suppose it shouldn't matter.

Another thing is that 3.x is more flexible in the templating engine.
So it pays to be more specific otherwise sometimes it can get confused.

<% if $URLSegment == 'home' %>

The other thing of course is that your homepage still needs to have the URL Segment set as home (if you don't - by default the site root will redirect to yoursite.com/my-homepage-changed-urlsegment )

Hi Guys, Thanks so much for the feedback :) Really Appreciate it, Here is what Ive done and seems to be working 110% now :D

<% if $URLSegment == 'home' %>
<% include MainBanner %>
<% end_if %>

I have tested the secondary pages and the banner is not displaying so this is perfect.,

Thanks again Guys.
