content only on certain pages?

[gilly]

Hi, what I want to do is have a sidebar that, on the homepage, shows news items (anynews module), and any other pages shows other content (eg photos).

This is essentially what I want to do below, but don't know the exact syntax:

Code:

<?php 
   if(HOME_PAGE) { 
      display_news_items(); 
   else
      <h2>photos</h2>
      <img src="">etc
   }

?>

If anyone could help out here that would be great!

The Homepage usually has the page_id = 1 (unless you deleted or reordered your pages).

So a simple "switch case" construct should do:

Code:

<?php

switch (PAGE_ID) {

  case 1 : display_news_items(); break;
  default : echo '<img src ....'; break;
}
?>

obviously you can change the PAGE_ID to whatever your Homepage is ...

cheers
