Only on home page?
 

I want to add an h tag and a div right after body tag but I only want it to display on the home page not on any other pages in the store.

What is the if tag I can wrap my code in to have it only display on the home page?

I don't know what variable to check.

Thanks Jon!!

Sorry mate, I am new in this field. I also have same needs about this.

Could you tell where/which file should I put these code in? Thanks.

Where you put the code depends on where you want whatever it is to appear.

Likely either skin1/customer/home.tpl or skin1/customer/main/welcome.tpl

Thanks. That's help me.

Thank you! It helped me too.

From where the $main variable is assigned its contents?

skin1/customer/home_main.tpl uses the main variable to determine what contents to display.

Hi,

Thank you for answering.

Sorry but I will return to my previous question because I think that I didn't get an answer. Maybe my question is silly, but I am a newbie to x-cart customization.

A snapshot from the skin1/customer/home_main.tpl file shows that there is somehow a $main variable that something has put a value in it.

-----------------------------------------------------------
{elseif $main eq "returns"}
{include file="modules/RMA/returns.tpl"}

{elseif $main eq "register"}
{include file="customer/main/register.tpl"}

{elseif $main eq "download"}
{include file="modules/Egoods/main.tpl"}

{elseif $main eq "send_to_friend"}
{include file="customer/main/send_to_friend.tpl"}
-----------------------------------------------------------

That way we can compare if this value is what we need.

My question is from where the $main gets its value, or better what function sets the value of $main.

I have already did a search on x-cart files, but I haven't found an answer...

Thank you in advance for your time and effort.

The main variable is set in the form:

$smarty->assign("main","whatever");

Most of these variable sets are in the main PHP files being called, but some are in the files elsewhere.

Thank you Jon, I'll do another search on the files based on your latest feedback.

Thank you!

P.S.
I also run a big forum in Greece, about Mambo (www.mamboclub.net), so I know very well how it is to answer questions to newbies. Please let me thank you twice for your time and patience.

No problem, I was an x-cart newbie once too :D

I have been using X-Cart for three years and on some parts I am a still a newbie 8O :D

Like Jon said the $main is established in the PHP files and it is usually at the very bottom of the file.
