Hi there,
Does anyone has a list of exceptions in their sleeves? 
I want to exclude a certain button from the homepage and the product details page. Have looked high and low but can’t find the code if statements necessary to hide this button.
I think I have the homepage code condition somewhere, but not the product page.
Something like:
if “category page”
do this
else
do that
Cheers
this should work:
{if $category.category_id == '357'}
*do this*
{else}
*do that*
{/if}
if you have multiple categories you would like to apply the same mod to you can use:
{if $category.category_id == '357' || $category.category_id == '358' || $category.category_id == '359'}
*do this*
{else}
*do that*
{/if}
or if you need to have different mods applied to different categories you can use:
{if $category.category_id == '357'}
*do this1*
{elseif $category.category_id == '358'}
*do that2*
{elseif $category.category_id == '359'}
*do that3*
{elseif $category.category_id == '360'}
*do that4*
{else}
*do that5*
{/if}
you can also mix the above 2 examples:
{if $category.category_id == '357' || $category.category_id == '358' || $category.category_id == '359'}
*do this1*
{elseif $category.category_id == '360'}
*do that2*
{elseif $category.category_id == '361'}
*do that3*
{elseif $category.category_id == '362'}
*do that4*
{else}
*do that5*
{/if}
if you want to mod actions on the products pages you can use the examples above and change to use the product variables instead:
{if $product.product_id == '24'}
*do this*
{else}
*do that*
{/if}
Wow snorocket, I honestly didn’t expect a post as long as yours… Thanks a lot mate, appreciate it! 
I posted this post to understand better these page conditions, but I already had something in mind when I wrote it… What I actually needed doing is the following:
I would like to have a [info] button besides the [buy now] button, wherever the [buy now] button appears. To make the [info] button appear besides the [buy now] button, I would need to include it in the “buy_now.tpl”.
To avoid the [buy now] button appearing in the homepage and/or in the product detail’s page, I would need to combine two conditions. Something like:
IF homepage OR product-detail-page
DO NOT SHOW [buy now] BUTTON
ELSE
SHOW [buy now] BUTTON
The reason I’d like to do it is purely GUI-related, we would like our users to understand straight away that if they click there they will go to a detail page. Many stores have implemented that, so we’d like to see if it helps at all.
Cheers
The “content.tpl” has a full list of page conditions:

{elseif $content == "products_search_results"}
{include file="products_pages/products_search_results.tpl"}

{include file="products_pages/product_details.tpl"}
{elseif $content == "profiles"}
{include file="profiles_pages/profiles.tpl"}

{include file="addons/rma/rma_return_details.tpl"}
{**[/ADDONS_DATA]**}
{else}
{include file="welcome.tpl"}
{/if}
...
But I’m wondering if these conditions work anywhere in the cart… 
The variable $content is accessible in any template file. So are $target, $mode.

Never mind, got it working
Thanks for all the tips!
Hm… a little stupid I didn’t post it here before, went looking for it again… 
In this case it IS homepage, only!
{*** if homepage - BEGIN ***}
{if $current_url == "$index_script"}
DO THIS
{else}
DO THAT
{/if}
{*** if homepage - END ***}
Cheers
Hi again guys, long time no see.
I want to have a little something in my product details page whenever that product has extra images. Nothing otherwise. The thing I came accross and didn’t work was:
{* show the little something only when there are extra images *}
{if $product.image_pairs}
{/if}
Any ideas? Using 1.3.5sp2
Hello Snorocket,
[quote name=‘snorocket’]this should work:
{if $category.category_id == '357' || $category.category_id == '358' || $category.category_id == '359'}
*do this*
{else}
*do that*
{/if}
Thank you,
