How to display the slider module only on the homepage?

[d.crysty23]

I'm bothered by the fact that the "slider" module is displayed on all pages when I want it to be displayed only on the homepage. I've added the codeline below but with no result. I did the same thing for the "block_category" module and it worked there. So I don't really know what's causing the problem

{if $page_name == index}

homeslider.tpl content


{/if}

Thanks in advance!

{if $page_name == "index"} instead of {if $page_name == index}

 

in addition, make sure that your theme doesn't override module template file, if so - you have to append changes there instead of in original file

 And how do I check that? What I can say is that I've added your modified code now and the module disappeared from all pages.. it's nowhere to be found at the moment

can you show full code of your template file

 

 

 

 

 And how do I check that? 

go to /themes/YOUR_THEME/modules/homeslider/ 

if there exists file homeslider.tpl - you have to modify this file (it's overrided by your theme)
