{if $page_alias == 'news'}
top job that's the one! Knew we'd get there in the end


edit: it does still return a 'some content' block on every page - though I guess it's not a biggie - now using
Code: Select all
{if $page_alias == 'news'}
{content block='some content'}
{else}
{news number="1"}
{/if}
