Footer link

[Doublespark]

I usually have a credit in the footer of a clients site.

I would like this only to appear on the home page.

Is there an easy way to achieve this without using a different layout?

I'd say a duplicate layout IS the easy way.
maybe php in the fe_page template?
if the alias is such-and-such, echo the module/content element via insert tag

The insert tags extension allows you define custom text and put it only on selected page(s)

if you can't or simply don't want to use 2 different layouts I think this is the only solution

ga.n you are a STAR!! That is a perfect solution!

I have not used inserttags in that way before and did not realise that you could select pages. I have tested it and it works perfectly.

Far better than creating another layout!!

I have added a feature request on the development site which may be what you need.

http://dev.contao.org/issues/2594

I don't like creating lots of page layouts for one site and if you made your footer a module this may solve the issue.

Hi Ben,

Eventually I decided I wanted a If hope page display this, else display something else.

So I ended up including a php file in the footer.

Your feature request would enable much cleaner solutions.

Hi Doublespark,

i guess using a body class will also work without using another menu.

Set the body class for e.g to the home page by using:

body.home .footer-credit{....}

and for all other pages set this to:

body.home .footer-credit
{
display:none;
}
