Hi
I trying to achieve the following.
I my left column I have a global content block that shows on all pages.
Is there a way to show this content block only on specific pages?
Thanks

There are lots of ways.
but the most basic one is:
Code: Select all
{if $page_alias == 'foo' || $page_alias == 'bar'}
{global_content name='my_gcb'}
{/if}

Different templates? Easy to implement after reading
http://www.i-do-this.com/blog/86/Smarty ... ade-Simple
and using one of the latest versions of CMSMS.
Other option: (mis)use on of the 'extra page attribute' fields (options tab of 'Edit content' page.
In template:
Code: Select all
{page_attr key='extra1' assign='ex1'}{if $ex1 != 'skipGCB'}{global_content name='my_gcb'}{/if}
In this example you need to type 'skipGCB' (without quotes that is) in the 'extra page attribute 1' field.
If it needs to be more user friendly/fool proof consider using a module like
http://dev.cmsmadesimple.org/projects/econtentblocks and add a checkbox.

Thanks for the answers.
Went with Calguy's option and that did the trick.
