Overview

Similar to the glx_if_frontpage tag from the no-longer-supported “ glx_if plugin. Most of that functionality is now available through core Txp tags, but not this (well, not without an absurd stack of conditional tags).

Usage

<txp:soo_if_frontpage>
...
<txp:else />
...
</txp:soo_if_frontpage>

soo_if_frontpage evaluates to true if the current page context is:

• an article list, and;
• not search results, and;
• not a listing of articles by category, and;
• not a listing of articles by author, and;
• not a listing of articles by month, and;
• not an image page, and;
• in one of the sections listed in section (defaults to the ‘default’ section only), and
• (optionally) a single-page list or the first page of a multi-page list, if the pg attribute is set.

Attributes

None required.

• section (Txp section name[s])
  Comma-separated list of allowed sections. Leave empty to restrict condition to the default (i.e. home) section. Use section="*" to include all sections.
• pg (boolean) default false
  Whether or not to check for the “pg” URL query param (e.g., http://my-site.com/?pg=2).
  Set pg="1" to allow only single-page lists or the first page of a multi-page list.

Examples

Most restrictive case

<txp:soo_if_frontpage pg="1">
... Home page ONLY
<txp:else />
... any other page
</txp:soo_if_frontpage>

The above example returns true for the home page only. E.g., http://example.com/ will cause the tag to return true, but any other standard Txp URL will return false.

Least restrictive case

<txp:soo_if_frontpage section="*">
... Home page, section front page, plus subsequent pages of a paginated list
<txp:else />
... Indivdiual article; individual image; category, author, date, or search result lists
</txp:soo_if_frontpage>

The above example returns true on the home page, any section front page, and any paginated variation thereof. E.g., these pages would all return true:

• http://example.com/
• http://example.com/?pg=2
• http://example.com/news/ (where “news” is a section name)
• http://example.com/news/?pg=7
