Unique page

[pjok]

I need to make a site that has a header image which isn't supposed to be displayed anywhere but on the front page.

This site needs to be completed before Tuesday  (31 may).

Anyone care to elaborate on how to do this?

I also need help with the Show_menu2 module, I don't quite understand it and I need help to make it right. This is the format of a normal HTML output from the site I'm making, the " <ul> " is supposed to be a drop-down menu. I need someone to give me the proper format to make the drop-down menu work with the following code below:

Code:

<nav id="nav-main" class="main jqueryslidemenu">
                    <ul class="nav">
                        <li><a href="./index.html">Home</a></li>
                        <li><a href="./sidebar.html">Sidebar</a></li>
                        <li><a href="#">Properties</a>
                            <ul>
                                <li><a href="./features.html">HTML addons</a></li>
                                <li><a href="./typo.html">Typoi</a></li>
                                <li><a href="./layouts.html">Layouts</a></li>
                            </ul>
                        </li>
                        <li><a href="./contact.html">Contakt</a></li>
                    </ul>
                </nav>

I need to make a site that has a header image which isn't supposed to be displayed anywhere but on the front page.

When your front page has page id=1 then enter this into your index.php of your template:

Code:

<?php if(PAGE_ID == 1) {echo '<img src="..." />';} ?>

or this

Code:

<?php if(PAGE_ID == 1) {echo '<img src="..." />';}
else {echo '<img src="..." />';} ?>

Thanks, does anyone have a solution to my second problem about the menu?

to use a hard coded page_id is a solution, but never the best one because the ID of the start page will change if another language is selected... and some more reasons too.
It's more sure an flexible to get the ID from database / page-tree like the core and SM2 do it also.

Code: (request ID of the startup page)

<?php

$iStartPage = intval(show_menu2(1, SM2_ROOT, SM2_START, SM2_ALL|SM2_NUMCLASS|SM2_BUFFER,
                                '[if(class==menu-0 && class==menu-first){[page_id]}]', '', '', '', '', ''));

based on this you can select your image

Code:

<?php
if( PAGE_ID == $iStartPage ) {
   echo '<img src="..." />';
}else {
   echo '<img src="..." />';
}

this should create your menu:

Code:

<?php
$sMenu = show_menu2(1, SM2_ROOT, SM2_ALL, SM2_TRIM|SM2_PRETTY|SM2_BUFFER,
                    '[li][if(class==menu-expand){[MENU_TITLE]}else{[a][MENU_TITLE]</a>}]',
                    '</li>',false, false,false, false);

this should create your menu:

Code:

<?php
$sMenu = show_menu2(1, SM2_ROOT, SM2_ALL, SM2_TRIM|SM2_PRETTY|SM2_BUFFER,
                    '[li][if(class==menu-expand){[MENU_TITLE]}else{[a][MENU_TITLE]</a>}]',
                    '</li>',false, false,false, false);

Nope, that menu didn't even display.

The only area i'm trying to focus on is this one:

Code:

<li><a href="./index.html">Home</a></li>
                        <li><a href="./sidebar.html">Sidebar</a></li>
                        <li><a href="#">Properties</a>
                            <ul>
                                <li><a href="./features.html">HTML addons</a></li>
                                <li><a href="./typo.html">Typoi</a></li>
                                <li><a href="./layouts.html">Layouts</a></li>
                            </ul>
                        </li>
                        <li><a href="./contact.html">Contakt</a></li>

Copy your template to a new one, install it and change whatever is needed and set the startpage to that new template.
Is really the best way to do this without getting headaches !



Showmenu2 question, this is the standard default way how showmenu2 would make a menu
only thing is to change the classnames to showmenu2 ones, or tell showmenu2 your classes.
Try this for size:

Code:

<ul class="nav">
<?php 
show_menu2(2, SM2_ROOT, SM2_ALL, SM2_ALL, '<li><a href="[url]" title="[menu_title]">[menu_title]</a></li>','','','',false,'');
?>
</ul>

Just substitute your  outside <ul.... </ul>
