detect front page of section
I am trying to detect the front page of a section and the code does not seem to work. Am I using the wrong parameter for the variable?
<txp:variable name="front"><txp:page_url type="pg" /></txp:variable>
<txp:if_variable name="front" value="">
<txp:article status="sticky" limit="20" />
<txp:else /></txp:if_variable>
<txp:article limit="10" />What I would expect to see from the above is sticky articles in the beginning of the section’s front page, then 10 live articles.
On the other pages of the section’s list of articles I am indeed getting the articles as expected.

Re: detect front page of section
What does <txp:page_url type="pg" /> give you if you use it on its own on the desired page?
Phil uses the equivalent of <txp:if_variable name="front" value="1"> in the four-point-seven theme here.

Yes, use value="1" to test.
Alternatively, in 4.7+ this might do something similar without the variable dance:
<txp:if_article_list>
<txp:evaluate query='<txp:page_url type="pg" /> = 1'>
<txp:article status="sticky" limit="20" />
</txp:evaluate>
<txp:article limit="10" />
</txp:if_article_list>Note the <txp:if_article_list>, otherwise you’d see the same behaviour on an individual article page because pg is set to 1 there too. Of course, if you have a different template serving the landing page vs individual articles, you can omit the wrapped conditional.
