[ARW VISIONS]

Looks like you are getting it.
Yes it is possible to have thing only show on certain parts of the site.

There is a varable called main.

so it would go like this..

{$main eq 'certain-section'}
html
{if}

or

{$main eq 'certain-section'}
certain-section html
{elseif $main eq 'different-section'
dif-sedtion html
{else}
html on all pages here
{if}

you can look in home_main.tpl to find many of the sections.

I believe you are looking for {if main eq 'need_login'} tho
