if/else

[blingblingpow]

Is there a PS equal to:

if is_home
do this
else
do something else

Reason:
I want to have a full width home page and side bar on internal pages only.
To do this I want to add a different CSS ID if on the home page only.

I know I can switch columns on/ off but that's not what I want to do.

Yes, you can use the following code in a TPL file:

{if $page_name == 'index'}
   ...
{else}
   ...
{/if}

What I'm trying to do is load a different category.tpl depending on which category is displayed.

I tried various combinations but nothing works.

essentially:

if category is birds

$smarty->display(_PS_THEME_DIR_.'category_birds.tpl');

elseif category is snakes

$smarty->display(_PS_THEME_DIR_.'category_snakes.tpl');

elseif everything else

$smarty->display(_PS_THEME_DIR_.'category.tpl');

Sorry for the questions. I do know PHP and spend a lot of time in WordPress but this is slightly different to what I'm used to.

Thanks.

Try the following:

if ($_GET['id_category'] == 2)
  $smarty->display(_PS_THEME_DIR_.'category_birds.tpl');
else if ($_GET['id_category'] == 3)
  $smarty->display(_PS_THEME_DIR_.'category_snakes.tpl');
else
  $smarty->display(_PS_THEME_DIR_.'category.tpl');

where 2 is the id of the birds category and 3 is the id of the snakes category.

I think I'm getting my curlies mixed up as that's producing errors.

I tried:

{if ($_GET['id_category'] == 2)}
  $smarty->display(_PS_THEME_DIR_.'category_birds.tpl');
{else if ($_GET['id_category'] == 3)}
  $smarty->display(_PS_THEME_DIR_.'category_snakes.tpl');
{else}
  $smarty->display(_PS_THEME_DIR_.'category.tpl'); 
{/if}

Not right!

Are you putting this code in a PHP file or a TPL file? If it is in a PHP file, copy my code exactly, do not add any curly braces like you have in your code.

{if ($_GET['id_category'] == 2)}
  $smarty->display(_PS_THEME_DIR_.'category_birds.tpl');
{else if ($_GET['id_category'] == 3)}
  $smarty->display(_PS_THEME_DIR_.'category_snakes.tpl');
{else}
  $smarty->display(_PS_THEME_DIR_.'category.tpl'); 
{/if} 

in tpl files, solution is this :

{if ...}
...
{elseif ...}
...
{else}
...
{/if}
