Hi guys,
I am looking for a code that displays only in home.php

example:

{if current page = home.php }
{ include file="some file " }
{/if}

I know php, but am new to smarty..
Basically what I did was I inserted an image tpl right before "welcome" text, but now, the image tpl appears in every page including category page and each individual item page...
How can I just display on home.php?

{if $main eq "catalog" AND $current_category eq ""}
Show Image Code
{/if}

Thankyou!!
What does $main and $current_category mean?
That seems like a variable to me..?

Also we can write the opposite code too ?

{ if $main neq "catalog" AND $current_category neq ""}
Do this
{/if}

$main and $current_category are both variables.

$main is a variable that is used to tell the internal workings what page to load. When $main eq "catalog" it is either loading the main page, or a category.

When loading a category, the $current_category variable is populated.

So the code I provided loads when the catalog section is loaded (main or category page) and when the $current_category variable is empty (so we know we are on the main page and not a category page).

Yes you can write the opposite, whether or not it will do what you want depends on what you want to accomplish

Thankyou for your kind answer! Things are getting a little clear once I started to understand the consept. It's still different from standard PHP, so I have a hard time, but hopefully I get it!

Thanks again!!!
