module shouldn't show on all pages

[Jaith]

i installed a module that shows 3 blocks with links (banner image block) from the pure theme, it should show only on the home page but it's showing on categories as well.

i checked the code and it does {if $page_name =='index'} at start in the .tpl file

on the category pages in the source code it shows up only one variable for page_name which is 'category'

even on my localhost the module doesn't show up with the same files...

what is wrong?

what might be the cause?

hey Jaith,

 

if you simply want to disable a module on specific sites you should disable them in the backoffice: modules > position and then click the edit button. There you simply choose the pages where your module shall not appear.
