Main page displaying text from define editor on every category page

**Canvas101** · 23 Jun 2014, 01:06 AM

Hi Guys,
I really need some help with the following
my website url - www.group101.co.uk
On the home page you will notice I have a large text area then I have the Show categories on main page selected from admin,
Directly below these boxes I the words "Call us for quotes and pricing" this is edited from define pages and is called - define_main_page_lower.php
I followed someone tuturiol on how to make an additionl text box.
Here is what I'm trying to acheive. I want to split the large intro text in two I want to use half the text in define pages editors (define_main_page) , I then want the cateogory to display (Images as they do) , directly below this I was a second text area which is currently call (- define_main_page_lower.php )
Ive got the layout looking how it should but the only issue now is the new "define_main_page_lower.php) "Call us for quotes and pricing" actually shows on all category pages. See example - http://www.group101.co.uk/banner-printing#.U6dqFI1dUl4
The new page (define_main_page-lower.php) should only be seen on the phone page.
Please see my two files that I've been changing to get the layout right so far. ....Perhaps some one can spot a mistake in the code and this is a fairly eay fix.

If understood correctly, you only want this new divided text to appear on the main page. Would want to enclose that call between this:

Code:

if($this_is_home_page) { 

/* add your second page/continuation outside of this comment block */

}

}

But then again, that it is supposed to only be on the phone page, so what I suggested above won't work. Would need to check to see what page you are on and if it is the phone page, then to activate/display. Sorry that at the moment I don't recall the specific variable on which to compare/have ready access to look it up. :/

Thanks for your reply.

The text on the homepage is controlled by define pages editor

The top half is created using define_mainpage then you have the icons and images which are enabled from configuration show categories on main page from configuration. You're the have the lower text underneath the product categories which reads " call us for quotes and pricing" the layout of the page is correct it's exactly what I'm trying to achieve.

This I have is the part where is reads " call us for quotes and pricing" also shows at the bottom of each category page. So if you see the following page

http://www.group101.co.uk/print-fini...1#.U6e0CH-9KSM

you will see right at the bottom of this page it shows the "call us for quotes and pricing " it displays this on all category pages. Just trying to get rid of it from those category pages but to remain on all others.

any ideas guys?

Well there were two thoughts that came to mind to me... Either add additional code in the tpl_index_default.php file to only have the new define page show on the main page (posted that solution earlier) or to use CSS and the various stylesheet options to display/hide the text as appropriate. This later version makes things far more modifiable so that in the future perhaps you want that text to appear on more than just the main page you can load applicable CSS for the category, product, or whatever page type is to be displayed. If more code is added then that's one or more lines to transfer over/validate upon upgrade, whereas the css, well for the most part will hopefully just carry over. :)
