There are two ways of writing php snippets to place html on the home page and then html on all other pages... This is for Joomla 3.++
<?php
$menu = & JSite::getMenu();
if ($menu->getActive() == $menu->getDefault()) {
echo 'HTML for HOME PAGE HERE';
} else {
echo 'HTML for ALL OTHER PAGES HERE';
} ?>
This code allows for just focusing on the home page only:
<?php
$menu = & JSite::getMenu();
if ($menu->getActive() == $menu->getDefault()) {
echo 'HTML FOR HOME PAGE HERE';
}
?>
What I would like to do, specifically like the second code snippet, is focus on specific pages on the site....
The reason being is A. I don't want to create a template for every other page type I am creating... And B. I don't want to have to place template elements of styling in my html module positions. I feel the custom HTML or blog / article posts should simply be for content insertion.
So is there a way to instead of calling on the $menu->getDefault()) <<<< make that getPage???
Found the answer. You can do a direct page edit and ifelse edits for multiple pages.
<?php
//This is the code for the page with menu ID 102
$menuID = JSite::getMenu()->getActive()->id ;
if ($menuID == '102')
{
echo '<strong>long</strong>';
}
?>
Here is the code for multiple pages.
<?php
//This is the code for the page with menu ID 6
$menuID = JSite::getMenu()->getActive()->id ;
if ($menuID == '6')
{
echo '';
}
elseif ($menuID == '2') //This is the HTML for page with menu ID 2
{
echo '';
}
elseif ($menuID == '4') //THis is the html for page with menu id 4
{
echo '';
}
else //This is the HTML code for the rest of the pages
{
echo '';
}
?>
