How to identify the index page?

[dollars5]

how to identify if the page is the index page - ie the page displayed is http://www.domain.com/index.php or http://www.domain.com/

or if it is the first page of the published news?

Any help is really appreciated. TIA

I'm not entirely sure what you're asking. Do you want to know how to display certain information only on the index page and want to wrap an {if} tag around it?

 {if $pagename eq "index" }
{/if}

Thanks for the reply, me too tried the same, but the index.php has the $pagename as "published" instead of "index" - so the code does not work. I use 9.6 from Sourceforge.

Is it fine If I change the name back to "index" in index.php - I am not sure which version this was changed - with pre 9.x version there is an $pagename "index" - was that change intentional?

I just used the {if $pagename eq "index" } code a week ago on a 9.6 template, it has to work. I guess I'm just misunderstanding something.

Enclosed is the /index.php from the package located at http://sourceforge.net/project/showf...ease_id=511871

lines 85-87 has the following code:

// pagename	
define('pagename', 'published'); 
$main_smarty->assign('pagename', pagename);

If the reason for changes is indicated - it would be assured that i can revert back it to "index" and carry on.

Thanks for all help.

Am still confused why this was changed this way? any help is appreciated.

I just searched the SVN - to find this interesting - kb has changed the index page to published page in revision 1005 on April 28, 2007 http://pligg.svn.sourceforge.net/vie...r1=891&r2=1005

I just tried changing the $pagename in index.php - but the effect is that if any category is selected - it passes the if $pagename eq "index" test - totally struck.

Thanks for any help on this.

index.php.... line 39/40 says:

// figure out what "page" of the results we're on
$search->offset = (get_current_page()-1)*$page_size;

so give that var to smarty:

 $main_smarty->assign('pagenumber', $search->offset);

(or something like that)

use it in your template:

{if $pagename eq 'published'}
{if $request_category eq ""}
{if $pagenumber eq "0"}this is the homepage{/if}
{/if}
{/if}

{if $pagename eq "published" and $request_category eq "" and $pagenumber eq 0}
	this is home
{/if}

Thanks again steef, it works like a pro - i had been bugging on this for 2 days and didnt pass on - dunno how I missed basic simple steps - should have relaxed before thinking fresh :)
