How to put php on custom home page using an advanced theme?

Question

I want to put some PHP on the home page only. In my advanced theme, I have this code: 

if ($this->template=='/* what to put here? */')

{

//code

}

 

Answer 1

Right before your if, use the following to find out:

echo $this->template;

That will show you what's in the variable for any page.

Thank you. It echoes out custom. But I have several pages with the custom template, how do I differentiate between them?

In that case, check $this->request which gives you the URL fragment.

Great! Thanks.
