Show different page banner

General General Questions
1

I’m trying to show a different banner image (i placed this in the index.tpl file)

only if you’re on a specific page (CMS page I made)…


{if $page="cmspage"}

{else}

{/if}



What am I doing wrong with this statement?



I’ve also tried $page.page_id and $page.page_inner_id.

I’m not too sure exactly what you are trying to do …but the index.tpl pulls in other templates to create the entire “page/site”…so depending on where you are trying to do this you might try the top.tpl or main.tpl…instead of the index.tpl



Do you have a link?

I replaced “top.tpl” because I don’t need it, so I replaced it with a banner image instead. I’m heavily modifying the customer skin.



It works great on every page. All I want is a different banner to show if you’re on a specific CMS page.



I need help with the specific code I posted, because it’s not switching the banner up for the CMS page, so I’m doing something wrong. I need help figuring out how to make that if/then statement work correctly.

Ok I think I’ve come up with somewhat of a solution…

(nobody laugh 'cause I’m still learning and when the “gurus” see this I know I’m gonna hear about it) :rolleyes:



What I figured was you could set this according to the “title” of the page.



For instance the “Page Title” under CMS > Manage Pages >

Click on a Page and this brings you to “Update Pages” and the Page name is where I believe this is referenced from (not sure).

Hey now I said “don’t laugh”…:smiley:



In your index.tpl file where your “header” is, try this:


```php {if $i.title == “Catalog”}




{else}



{/if} ```

If you have an image that you want for the Catalog page use $i.title == "Catalog"

If you have an image that you want for the About page use $i.title == "About"
or whatever page name you have for it "About our company"...

$i.title = "Page name"

I haven't figured out any other way to "identify" what page you are on...but I'm still working at it.

Let me know how this works for you?
