EDIT - Add Actually the Ternary operation is working fine. I’m just too tired to realise that I was checking against false instead of true. All should work fine hopefully for everyone?

Okay a nice easy one this one in relation to this thread over here.

Please bear in mind that this was written in under 1 minute so hopefully it should do as it says on the tin I’m still a little confused as I swear that my ternary operator condition in the plugin is working back to front but it seems to be working on my system so hopefully it will elsewhere too.

Usage V1.0.2

Usage V1.0.1

Usage V1.0

That’s it basically. Hope it works for everyone and hope it’s of some use.

Best wishes,

Mark,

You’re a machine man! Simple, but useful.

Hey Mark, well done, seems very useful.

Just a tiny remark: in terms of usability, it would make more sense if the syntax was:

Or even

Don’t know if the latter is possible in EE.

Hiya,

You are absolutely right that I have the condition a bit upside down. Will look at that a bit later on and upload the new version.

Best wishes,

Mark

Okay updated!

Hopefully should work. Let me know if I’ve done something wonky!!

Best wishes,

Seriously Mark.. What kind of caffeine do you drink? You’re on here more than I am.. That’s INCREDIBLE.

No caffeine for me. I’m strictly a soft drinks sort of guy. Fly helis so can’t afford to mess with my body too much!

Plus I hate the smell of coffee and other caffeine based products

Is it all working for everyone? The plugin I mean

Best wishes,

Slight update to the plugin.

Now changed conditional to {if is_homepage} instead of {if true}. Hopefully this is a better fit?

Updated file in top post.

Best wishes,

Mark

For the record, the newest version is listed as 1.0.2, but the version number in the $plugin_info array still says 1.0.1.

And does every version note require an emoticon?

Hi Ryan,

Thanks for the heads up on the version number. The reason was that I made the swap between 1.0.1 and 1.0.2 quite close between each other and so basically forgot Fixed now though.

Not too sure what you mean by the emoticons though? Perhaps the ones in the plugin notes? Sorry if that is not the right thing to do? No offence was intended by it.

Best wishes,

Mark

Nice one mark. Just came across a great use for this.
And I *LOVE* that you’re keeping all version available in the parent. I wish more add-ons kept all versions available.

Anywho, good work.

I’d even think it’d be easier if you could create a global variable, only if you’re at the homepage.
So, do your query magic to see if you’re at the home page.
And then your code could be

without needing the plugin syntax around it.

Anywho… just wishing… wishing up a star!

Excellent. Thanks for the kind words and glad that it has found some uses

Yep like to keep everything in the one place making it easier for everyone to find what they are looking for.

So, do your query magic to see if you’re at the home page.
And then your code could be

{if mb_is_homepage}
TRUE
{if:else}
FALSE
{/if}

without needing the plugin syntax around it.

Anywho… just wishing… wishing up a star!

Not too sure how I would go about doing that because as far as I know to use a plugin you have to have the surrounding plugin tags. Would be great if that could be done but I don’t know how that is possible.

Anyway glad you found a use for it.

Best wishes,

Just to note that this doesn’t work if you’re trying to use Google AdWords. My client has an incoming link like this from certain Google searches:

Even though this is technically still the homepage, the plugin thinks this is not.
