Is there any way to use $pagename to set a page name for static pages created? I need to set this for a new page I created to be able to modify the sidebar when this page loads.

This one:

PHP Code:

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

I tried that - but on the static pages created through the admin panel this shows up as text for some reason. Any ideas?

CMStheme: You can't use smarty tags in the page content like that because it treats the text input the same as it would for a story.

Would it be a better solution to create a new php page with $pagename, a .tpl and just load that tpl in the php page?

Well, how many pages are you going to create and do you want the sidebar to appear on all of them? There is an existing pagename variable for all pages if you use...

 {if $pagename eq "page"} This is a page {/if}

It might not be a bad idea for us to add some way to add php code to a page from the page editor though. Let me think about it for a day.

you can check if the pagename is a page and then check for $posttitle which contains the actual page title.

{if $pagename eq "page"} {$posttitle}{/if}

Hope this helps.

I have one static page that I want a new specific sidebar module to show up on, so however I can make that possible...
