Are "category" headers possible?

[jondaley]

I think you are asking about the pager?

<div class="pager">
Go to page: {pager style="links"}
</div>

There are different style options.
See class/template/smarty/plugins/function.pager.php

Ah! Yes. Would something like this jive?

{if $OnMainPage}
{if $OnMainPage pager style="prevonly"}
{/if}

{else}

{pager style="links"}
{/if}

Show it one way (or not at all) on the home page -- another elsewhere?

[jondaley]

I am not quite sure what you are trying to do, but your code isn't valid, I don't think. This is valid, but maybe doesn't do what you want.

{if $OnMainPage}
{pager style="prevonly"}
{else}
{pager style="links"}
{/if}

[G. Noel Gross]

{if $OnMainPage}
{pager style="prevonly"}
{else}
{pager style="links"}
{/if}

In that scenario, is it possible to change "{pager style="prevonly"}" to a text link URL?

[jondaley]

What do you mean?

[G. Noel Gross]

Sorry. I'm not being clear.

I'd like a decision to be made in the coding. If it's the MainPage ... spit out a hyperlink. If not, go ahead and use the pager style.

Why? Because on the front page of my site ... I don't want a pager style. I just want it to show X items and then offer a link that goes to one of my categories.

In my categories, the pager style is fine.

I think you mean:

Code: Select all

{if $OnMainPage}
<a href="http://www.exampleurl.com/examplepage">Example Link</a>
{else}
{pager style="links"}
{/if}

Smarty allows normal HTML between {if}{/if}.

That worked! Thanks!

Code: Select all

{if $category}
{if $category->getName()=="Podcast"}
{include file="$blogtemplate/podcast.template"}
{/if}
{if $category->getName()=="News"}
{include file="$blogtemplate/news.template"}
{/if}

{else}

{include file="$blogtemplate/front.template"}
{/if}

I've had another issue arise.

At the article level (single post), the "if/else" statements no longer work.

Say I have an entry marked "News" and click through to the permalink, "front.template" is displayed rather than the desired "news.template."

It is because there might be multiple categories - I think you need to check a different variable. The wiki has all of the available variables for each template file.

Doesn't "post.template" produce the single article? I'm a little lost in the wiki. Another nudge?

Oops! No it doesn't ... postandcomments.template does.

[jondaley]

And just to be clear, there might be multiple categories in post.template or postandcomments.template, since a post can have multiple categories.
