Placing content on just the homepage...

[Brian Jester]

Hello,

I would like to place some content on the homepage, (ex: in the content.tpl template) but I don't want that content to be display throughout the website (as it does from the content.tpl template, the content tpl file put it in the correct location, but I don't want it on all pages), just displayed on the homepage only. What template do I have to put it into so that it only will display on the homepage and no where else?

EDIT: Just remembered, in the pages section of ap, not in the templates themselves! Sorry!

EDIT #2: After checking the home page in the ap->pages home, I can't add any code it...Is it possible to delete the home page, and then re-create it as a static page, instead of a system page? Another words, will it still function like a system page or as it normally would? If not, then how can I place some content in that homepage area, BUT ONLY IN THAT AREA, so when I click on another link the content in the home page will change as well?

Thank you
Brian

I have probably got this wrong but have you tried just adding a content box / html and assigning it only to the home page ? / or am I reading this question wrong / missing something ?

Pete,

Thank you for jogging my memory, it's exactly what I was after!

One more question, I want to put the text/link "There are no listings. Be the first to add a listing." under my content, how can I do that?

Thanks again!
Brian

yes that's easy, Brian give me 2 secs and I will show you

?

first where do you to put these words in the text on the home page that your adding ? yes ?

if so add this to the bottom of your test (go into editor mode to do this / select source top left ) adjust site name / http or https / remove no follow and land pages to suit.

Hello Pete,

Sorry for late reply. I am talking about the text that is already there on the homepage, I believe this is for the featured listings, so I might be able to adjust that in the same way you explained above with the content boxes, except I will change the position to bottom. That's what I am thinking should do the trick...But Thank you for the reply anyway.

Thank you
