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.

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

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.

[Jon]

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?

[Jon]

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.
