"Only on Frontpage"? (solved)

I’m using txp for a non-blog site, using sections as my inner pages, so menu items link to section names.
i have the title of each page print the name of the site + section title, but this causes the main page to have the title “default + sitename” (the word ‘default’).
i guess this is because the main page (i.e www.sitename.com) is using the default section, and there’s no option for changing the title of that section.

So i’m looking for a way to override stuff just for the frontpage, so that i could have a different\manually-written title there.

Any other ideas about this would also be appreciated.

Thanks,
Adam

You might also consider the plug-in glx_if which adds the tag glx_if_frontpage, among others.

Re: "Only on Frontpage"? (solved)

Have you tried something like:

<txp:if_section name="default">
<title><txp:sitename />: <txp:site_slogan /></title>
<txp:else />
<title><txp:sitename />: <txp:title /></title>

Re: "Only on Frontpage"? (solved)

I want a tag that can separate out the very root of a site from all the other pages, does it exist?

Is glx_if_frontpage supposed to only match the very front page (not ?pg=2)? Because I can’t quite get it working right. index.php with no further parameters is matched by if_frontpage, and not matched by if_not_frontpage. But index.php with parameters is matched by both if and if_not.

You can select for the front page like this:

<txp:if_section name="">
<txp:if_category>
<txp:else />
this is your front page
</txp:if_category>
</txp:if_section>

If you also need to filter out a specific page, wet_if_page might be what you want.
