different side menus on different pages

Is it possible to have different side menus (like bestseller, login etc.) depending on what page you are at.

i.e if im at product.tpl , i can show recommended other products but I dont want to display the news box.

They all seem to be controlled from the home.tpl but not sure how to control them from other pages.

You have to use conditionals in your home.tpl

cheers jon, you couldnt give me an example to follow could you?

Open up your skin1/customer/home_main.tpl

You'll see a wack of conditionals using the $main variable. You could implement similar things in home.tpl

For example:

Code:

{if $main eq "register"}

We know we are on the register page

{/if}



{if $main eq "product"}

We know we are on a product page

{/if}



{if $main eq "catalog"}

We know we are viewing a category

{/if}

Ok cheers Jon,

But what happens if you want it on several pages but not on some

can I use & (yes i know I should really read up on smarty)

for example i want to hide the news.tpl on just the product and products tpls

could I use

Code:

{if $main ne "product" & "products"}

{ include file="cartmods/testimonials/testimonials.tpl"}




{/if}

Code:

{if $main ne "product" AND $main ne "catalog"}

{ include file="cartmods/testimonials/testimonials.tpl"}

 

{/if}

[/code]
