Have a pocket showing only on home page

Torbjorn

Hi
I am adding meta tags with the pockets plugin. But i only want the pocket to att content on the home page.
Can this be done?

Two ways off the top of my head: Hide the Pocket using CSS on all other pages but the homepage or add a custom Pocket to your homepage using Smarty (applies to 2.1 and not 2.0):

{if InSection("CategoryList")}
    {pocket name="Homepage"}
{/if}

I usually use the "All Categories" section as my homepage which is why I used CategoryList in the conditional.

@Kasper - can you expand on this please. Where would the code as described go? What is Smarty?

Cheers

@demsley That would go in your themes default.master.tpl file.

The easiest way to control where the pockets show is by giving them an id or a class . This way you can allow one and not the others depending on where you want it to show.The editor is not working for me atm so remove spaces between < > if you copy any of it.

example:

this is what you would add in the pockets panel where you add the content.

< div class="PocketA" >your content< /div >

then use css in the custom.css file where you don't want it to show, each body is a page

body.Profile .PocketA,body.Vanilla.Categories .PocketA {
display:none;
}
