[solved] Override the pagelayout only for the home page

Thursday 14 July 2005 5:28:19 am

Hi,

For a site, I need to have a different layout for the home page (aka "splash screen from hell" ;).

I've created :

[homepage]
Source=pagelayout.tpl
MatchFile=homepage.tpl
Subdir=templates
Match[node]=2

It works fine for the "/" url, but it unfortunately applies also on "content/view/sitemap/2" or "content/browse".

Any idea to have a different pagelayout only for the content/view/full (the default view) and not for the others ?

Thanks in advance,

Hi Xavier

What I do is just create a dummy node under the root node (folder mostly) which is the home and also the default page. You can override the pagelayout (if needed) and full view templates and still have sitemap (and other functionality?) unaffected.

Back from senegal.

Thanks for your help, I went the Lukasz way and it works like a charm (well, as charming as a splash screen can be).

As Paul suggestion to use a dummy node, the problem is that I often have a menu listing all the nodes under the top node (2), and I don't want a "dummy" item on my menu.

A solution would have been to put that dummy node under the media folder (it has a tendency to contain everything I don't want directly visible on the content tree).
