  Lately I have been working on controling what pages have left, right and/or center blocks. I have figured out how to get them to appear on all pages or none of the pages. However. I want the left and right to appear on all and have the center appear on most pages. I do not want the center block on the admin pages and PNphpBB for example.
  
  Here is the code I found....
  
  

  Code

  <?php
  
  $strip_head = false;
  $alternate_summary = false;
  
  $template = array (
  //Main theme template file names
         'main' => "theme.html",
         'summary' => "summary.html",
         //Alternating Summary article templates
         //'summary1' => "summary1.html",
         //'summary2' => "summary2.html",
         //
         'article' => "article.html",
         'leftblock' => "leftblock.html",
         'centerblock' => "centerblock.html",
         'rightblock' => "rightblock.html",
         //Nuclei blocks template file names (*optional)
         'area1block' => "area1block.html",
         'area2block' => "area2block.html",
         'area3block' => "area3block.html",
         'area4block' => "area4block.html",
         'area5block' => "area5block.html",
         'area6block' => "area6block.html",
         'area7block' => "area7block.html",
         'area8block' => "area8block.html",
         'area9block' => "area9block.html",
         'topblock' => "topblock.html",
         'bottomblock' => "bottomblock.html",
  );
  
  $block_display = array (
  //Display blocks on all pages

  Here is the line that I am confused about....
  

  Quote

  //Use the following if statement if you don't want these settings used on your home page
  if($index== 1) {
  

  
  
  How do I use this and where? Do I only need to insert the above line in the index of the module? I have been struggling with this.
  Could some one please explain this to me ?
  
  I did some searching, but found nothing to answer my question. I found plenty of posts that pertained to this question, but none fully answered mine.

  That statement generally pertains to your theme - where it's decided where blocks are placed. You'll often see:
  

  Code

  if($GLOBALS['index'] == 1) {
     blocks('centre');
  }

  
  In the themeheader to restrict show blocks on certain pages.... Check out these post for examples/ideas on including blocks on certain pages:

  Or try out Xanthia or AutoTheme...

  This is an older AT-Lite .6 theme.cfg. You would be better off using the newer AT-Lite .7 that has many improvements and also provides the functionality your trying for and configurable in the admin interface.
  
  But to answer your question:
  
  The $index==1 helps to define a custom_module for the home page, so you would wrap the entire $custom_module array in the if statement.
  
  This would define settings for when News is your Home Page and you view the Home Page
  

  Code

  if ($index == 1) {
     $custom_module['News'] = array (
        blah blah blah
     );
  }

  
  
  This would define settings for displaying the News, but not the Home Page (i.e. when you click readmore to read the full article)
  

  Code

  if ($index != 1) {
     $custom_module['News'] = array (
        blah blah blah
     );
  }

  
  
  Additionally, you could apply this concept to the default config for all modules by wrapping multiple $template arrays in the if statements:
  

  Code

  //home page
  if ($index == 1) {
     $template = array (
        blah blah blah
     );
  }
  
  //other pages
  if ($index != 1) {
     $template = array (
        blah blah blah
     );
  }

  
  But if you define a $custom_module that applies, then it would override the $template config.
  
  Like I said, AT-Lite .7 would be a great way to go as all of this is much better and simpler to config in the admin.

  I bought AT the other day but I am still waiting for my echeck to clear through paypal. If AutoTheme allows me to do all of this with out all the hassles of coding, then I will just wait.
  
  Where is a good place to get free AT?
  
  Thanks for the help.
