soo_if_frontpage: is this a section front page?
Similar to the glx_if_frontpage tag from the no-longer-supported “ glx_if plugin. Most of glx_if’s functionality is now available through core Txp tags, but not this (well, not without an absurd stack of conditional tags). To glx_if_frontpage it adds txp:else /> compatibility, and a couple of attributes for more control.
soo_if_frontpage evaluates to true if the current page context is:
- an article list, and;
- not search results, and;
- not a listing of articles by category, and;
- not a listing of articles by author, and;
- not a listing of articles by month, and;
- not an image page, and;
- in one of the sections listed in
section(defaults to the ‘default’ section only), and - (optionally) a single-page list or the first page of a multi-page list, if the
pgattribute is set.
Note: as of version 0.1.4 you can use section="*" as a shortcut to include all sections (including default). Thanks to alanfluff for the feedback.
Why? I was cleaning out some Txp cruft and was going to get rid of this little plugin, which I’ve been using privately for years. But re-discovered that it is genuinely useful for at least one small but important situation: styling the Home link in a nav bar. I want to give this an “active class” only if it is truly the home page, i.e. <http://my-site.com/>. Very cumbersome to do this with only core Txp tags.

Jeff, i’ll need to start recommending this plugin. I’ve been using the glx_if for so long that it is the first which comes to mind when people are asking for such separation. I just replaced it with yours and it not only works, it also performs faster.

Curious: by what measurement? Although the plugin is much smaller, having just the one tag, when it comes to the actual functions soo_if_frontpage has more code (and an additional function call) compared to (individually) glx_if_frontpage, glx_if_not_frontpage, glx_if_section_frontpage, or glx_if_not_section_frontpage. Of course it’s faster for typing being able to use <txp:else /> ;)

Re: soo_if_frontpage: is this a section front page?
When i open site.ru/blog/ plugin returnes TRUE. I think it should say FALSE
Just found – a little code changing made it work:
The result is:
return parse(EvalElse($thing,
( $section ? in_list($pretext['s'], $section) : true ) and
( $pg ? $pretext['pg'] < 2 : true ) and
( $pretext['s']=='default' ? true : false) and
empty($pretext['c']) and empty($pretext['q']) and empty($pretext['author'])
and empty($pretext['month']) and $is_article_list));Than at section pages plugin returns false, as expected

Make that version 0.1.5 0.1.6. No behavioral change from 0.1.4, just a documentation update and some code cleaning.
