Banner sidebox only on main page

Looking for an option to have a banner sidebox shown only on the main page, not on product pages etc. Is there a way to do it or a helpfull add-on? Thanks for help.

Re: Banner sidebox only on main page

You can use the variable:
$this_is_home_page

to determine if you are on the Home page or not ...

Re: Banner sidebox only on main page

Thanks, I thought there might be a variable like this. Where can I use it? With the Black Box Addon or make a new banner type?

Re: Banner sidebox only on main page

I am not familiar with the Blackbox add on ... but on the Banner sidebox, you will see the code:

  if (SHOW_BANNERS_GROUP_SET7 == '') {
    $show_banner_box = false;
  }

Below that you can use:

  if (!$this_is_home_page) {
    $show_banner_box = false;
  }

That will disable the banner_box.php sidebox when not on the home page ...

Re: Banner sidebox only on main page

You are most welcome ... thanks for the update that you were able to use this to control the sidebox to only show on the Home page for your site ... :smile:
