Different Photo based on Page
 

Does anyone know how to make it so that I can have a different photo load depending on the page being viewed? For example, I want to have an image on the home page (not part of the welcome.tpl) but not on any other pages. Then depending on the category they visit, have a different photo appear. Is there an easy way to do this with {if} statements?

Thanks this helped but I couldn't figure out what I would I put if I wanted something to show up on the home page only? I just need to know how xcart defines the home page.

{if ????????}Insert Home Page Content Here{/if}

{if $main eq "catalog" and $current_category.category eq ""}

home page content only

{/if}

Cool that worked. I wish I could figure this out on my own. What if I wanted to show something for a specific category, but not when they view the product details. Like when $cat=1 but not when $productid=x.

{if $main eq "catalog" and $cat eq "x"}

replace x with the category number you want to show the image for.

Although Padraic's answer is correct, that is the long way around...

If you SIMPLY want an image to appear on a category page, put an image tag into the category details.

Click on MODIFY CATEGORY button from the categories management page.

You then have a category DESCRIPTION

Put your html in here.

No ifs needed.

You can also do this for subcats too.

Depends on where you want the image to show...adding it to the category details restricts the image to that area. The {if} statement I posted can be used anywhere....footer, header, side menu, etc.

Of course!

This if statement does not work for me, do you have an updated one please as I am obviously looking at some 3 year old post, I used the following on home.tpl:

{if $main eq "catalog" and $cat eq "3"}
<div align="center">
<a href="http://website url here"><img src="{$ImagesDir}/dpq.gif" width="180" height="288" align="center" alt="DPQ"/></a>
</div>
{/if}
