Individual start page vs. adduser plugin

I'm trying to combine a template using an individual start page with the adduser event plugin, i.e.
not the sidebar, but the event plugin which generates a seperate page for user registration.
This is (roughly) the code from the index.tpl which creates the content:
Code: Select all
{if $currpage == $serendipityBaseURL or $currpage2 == $serendipityBaseURL or ($view == "start" && $staticpage_pagetitle == '')}
<!-- code for individual start page -->
{elseif $view == '404'}
<!-- 404 page -->
{else}
{$CONTENT}
{/if}
Now, the registration page is supposed to be at index.php?serendipity[subpage]=adduser -- which doesn't work with the code above. I'm assuming I need another if statement, but I can't figure out which one.
Help, please

with
Code: Select all
{if $startpage == 'true'}
<!-- code for individual start page -->
{elseif $view == '404'}
<!-- 404 page -->
{else}
{$CONTENT}
{/if}
it works perfectly fine. Any disadvantages to this code? If not: Why the hell have I been using the other stuff for, like, ages?

Because old habits die hard??!!
I have yet to encounter any disadvantage, but I can tell you one definite Advantage: you can trigger a normal blog type view with yoursite/index.php?frontpage (such as on the 'recent' archives sidebar) using this method. Using your view/staticpage title version, that link would point back to your coded start page. I like the ability to get to the most recent blog entries, in normal blog format, even when I am using a coded front page.

Erm ... you can do that with the "old habit" as well. I'm using it on a client's site.

I must be thinking of something else then.... whatever, at least it solved your problem.

Well, it kind of solved my problem ... apparently, the adduser plugin is no longer in the picture here since it doesn't fit the client's needs. Too bad.
