[SOLVED] News module on homepage only

[johanna]

Hello!

I have been searching the forum but can't find an answer to this... I would like the news module and a global content block that I have created to reside on my homepage only, not on the rest of the pages. How do I achieve this?

Thank you!!

Johanna

There are a few ways you can achieve this.  One way would be to create a new template just for use on the home page.

Another way would be to put an {if} statement in the template.  The templates are smarty based so any smarty tags will work.
Something like this should work:

{if $page_alias='home'}
    {global_content name='home_news'}
{/if}

Doh! I am such a dumbo...! Didn't think of the template idea, works a treat. Thank you so much for pointing me in the right direction, much appreciated!!!!
