Hello.

I am developing a new skin for xcart 5, what I need it is to show a block just before the general footer, but is only visible on the main page, but can not find one anywhere to create such conditional sentence.

I appreciate your help, and sorry for my English

This is how you can check if it is the home page:

PHP Code:

if (\XLite::getController()->getTarget() == \XLite::TARGET_DEFAULT) {
...
}

And this is how you can inject your template or widget class between the main area and the footer:

PHP Code:

@ListChild (list="layout.main.center", weight="400") 


Or you can use "center.bottom" list instead of "layout.main.center".

So where you should put these codes in order to do what I want?

I tried using a center_bottom.tpl, but has not worked for me

Thank you very much for your help

You should:
1. Create a custom module
2. Add a new template file (if the block is plain HTML), or a new widget class with its own set of templates files (.tpl, .css, .js - when needed).
3. Add the @ListChild directive to the comments in the file - this will add this file into the specified list on the next site re-deploy
4. Add isVisible() method and put the page-checking logic there (so it will return false if the page is not the home)
