on the topic of “figuring things out wrt coding” — i was working on converting a site to wordpress and was trying to figure out how to get a home page movie to appear ONLY on the home page (easily).
so i looked around and found out there was a wordpress function called “is_front_page()”
so, along with a nifty fade in/fade out script, i created this in the header.php file:
<?php
if ( is_front_page() ) {
echo "
<div class=\"hpmovie\">
<div id=\"xlide\">
<img src=\"wp-content/themes/fullfab/images/5.jpg\"
alt=\"FullFab Inc.\" />
<img src=\"wp-content/themes/fullfab/images/11.jpg\"
alt=\"FullFab Inc.\" />
...
</div>
</div>
";
}
?>
you can see the results at fullfabinc[dot]com (i don’t want them to get any pingbacks from my site)
so basically, if it’s the home page, it’ll write stuff to the page… boom
