How to know if I'm on the index
I know I can use <code><if_section name=”“></code> to know if I’m on the home, but that means also other pages and archives.
Isn’t there a quick way — without the use of PHP which would be a last resort — to know if I’m on the index?

Re: How to know if I'm on the index
i use different pages for different sections.
the default-page is displayed at the homepage (index).
and other sections are displayed with other pages.
It is possible, to use the default-page only for the homepage and assign all other things (archives etc.) to other pages.
so a quick way to know that your at the index, is that you wan’t to know. :)

Er, what do you mean? That only applies if you’re currently viewing the default section, i.e: the front or index of your site, it doesn’t care which page you’re using. :)

Re: How to know if I'm on the index
I want to know if I’m on the very first page (i.e. / ), and not some other page (i.e. /?pg=2, /2006/01/, etc.).

Re: How to know if I'm on the index
The point is I want to display just one post on the index — the last post — while displaying more posts on other pages (not simply based on the page count).
I guess the easiest way, even though I think there should be a more elegant solution, is to look for the URI using PHP.

Re: How to know if I'm on the index
<txp:if_section name="">
// if we're on the index, just show the latest post
<txp:article limit="1" />
<txp:else />
// otherwise, show last 15 posts
<txp:article limit="15" />
</txp:if_section>Offline

<a href=“http://forum.textpattern.com/viewtopic.php?id=4526”>glx_if</a> plugin which allows you to specify the front page ie your default page when you click ‘view site’.
This is how i use it in my site
<code><txp:glx_if_frontpage>
<txp:output_form form=“front_page” />
<txp:else />
<txp:output_form form=“any_page” />
</txp:glx_if_frontpage></code>

<code><txp:if_section name=”“></code>
It doesn’t work like I’d want it to: it’s not the same as an ipothetical <code><txp:if_index></code>.
It includes not only the very first page (i.e. /), but also other pages such as “?pg=x” and “/year/month/”.
And glx_if_frontpage works when “?pg=x” is specified, but doesn’t trap “/year/month/”.

Re: How to know if I'm on the index
Almost, there.
I think I’ll end up writing a very simple plugin to achieve exactly what I want.
Thanks to everyone for helping me. :)
