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.

In my website http://www.mindfulnessbergamo.net I would like to insert Open Graph tags in the homepage head section, and different Open Graph tags in the head section of individual article pages. I am using clean URLs. Is this plugin the right one? Thanks.

Re: soo_if_frontpage: is this a section front page?
Hi there, sounds like what you need is:
<txp:if_section name="default">...Homepage tags...</txp:if_section>and:
<txp:if_individual_article>...Individual article tags</txp:if_individual_article>That is, if I’m understanding you correctly: you only want Open Graph tags on the homepage, and when an individual article is showing. My plugin only distinguishes between ordinary (i.e., not search, category, etc.) article lists (whether on the homepage or a section front page) and everything else.
