$this_is_home_page

Hi does anyone know how this is defined and is it possible to have the function for other pages of your chosing. For example is it possbile to have a $this_is_page_5678 or whatever and have the $this_is_home_page functions for it by defining it somewhere?

$this_is_home_page is a variable set specifically to determine when you are on the "Home Page" of your site based on various configuration settings ...

You can test for any condition you want for other things, but it would help to have an idea of what it is you are trying to do as there are 1000s and 1000s of conditions that can be tested for ... :smile:

Well for example I have a delivery info ezpage. I have a sidebox with an image linking to it. Currently when it is clicked on the sidebox remains when the page displays. I would like the $this_is_home_page functions to be able to hide the sidebox when it is on the ezpage if it's possible.

if (in_array($ezpage_id,explode(",",'2,5'))) {

showsidebox = false;

}

The highlighted portion would be the ez-pages you wish to hide the sidebox on

How would you check to see if you were on a specific category? for example;
if this is page categoryId 65
then show image65.gif

hmm...what about for an individual product page (as opposed to a category page or the home page.) Is there a list of these anywhere? I need a few...

thanks for your help!

if ($current_page_base == 'product_info' and (in_array($_GET['id'],explode(",",'234,789'))) ) {

//execute on product 234's or product 789's info page

}

What if I want it to show up on all individual product pages? Not just a specific page?

nevermind...

if ($current_page_base == 'product_info') {

/// code

You got it :)

thanks a lot for your invaluable help, guys
