[solved] Image slider for homepage on displaytop

[RetailGUY]

Hi Guys

 

I recently transplanted the image slider for homepage module to "top of pages", this looks great on the homepage, but takes up too much vertical space when exploring product pages ect.

 

Is there a way of limiting it to only the homepage?

of course, you can do it in many ways.

1. go to the modules -> positions
   search for "display top" section, and click on edit button near the homepage slider module
   you will see form with position specification, add exceptions - you have to add all pages there except homepage (index)
   
2. second way to modify is a editing module code (template file only) are you ready for it?

Hi Vekia

 

Thank you, I would prefer to edit the code, so let do that, though note I am still quite a noob!

okay, so let the show begin;)

 

go to the:

modules/homeslider//homeslider.tpl file (remember that this file may exists in the theme/modules//homeslider/ directory - if so - you have to edit this file)

 

at the beginning of the file insert this:

{if $page_name == 'index'}

At the end of the file put this:

{/if}

 

 

and that's all

poor show

Job well done! Yeah nice easy one for you!

 

Thanks so much looks way better!!

Thanks Vekia for the help.

you can also achieve this with exceptions (proper way!) in modules > positions tab

near the homeslider module click edit button and define exceptions you can for example disable modules on all pages, and just enable it on "index" (homepage) only

Yes I've not edited any code just made exceptions, the way you've explained. Thank You
