Hi!

Is there any way of controlling a plugin so it only displays on the index page?

In particular I wanted to do this for the ‘External PHP Application’ and ‘HTML Nugget’ - I don't want particular plugins site wide.

Thanks in advance

Hi!

I think the HTML nugget should have an option for that?! External PHP doesn't, one would need over the PHP code for those checks there...

No, it does not..... but I think it would be a nice addition. Current options for the HTML nugget are extended entry only, overview pages, and all times.

Yeah the ability to disable any plugin site wide would be a great addition to Serendipity.

I've set certain HTML nuggets to show on overview pages only which it better, but not perfect.

Is there a quick fix I could use to achieve the "overview page only" on the External PHP application?

Thanks for any help

Hi!

Yes, you can edit the sidebar.tpl template file, and inside the foreach loop make a check for if $startpage and pluginname == BLABLA then do nothing, else show the plugin.

Hope that gets the idea, I don't have the time for actual code right now

Thanks Gavin, celebrating the Germany win I guess

Programming isn't my strong point, I'll try it on a test blog, I have a feeling I won't get it working without the actual code though!

Any idea what code I should be implementing into the sidebar.tpl?

I'm stuck and it's not working

I'll take a look at this when I get back this afternoon. Should be simple.

I was thinking each html nugget had a unique identifier... but that does not seem to be the case. They all have the same class of container_serendipity_html_nugget_plugin (container_ is a prefix).... are you using nuggets on any other pages, or just the front page?

I'm searching answers to this very problem -- I'm pretty sure I'm the least knowledgeable person in programming matters on this thread, as well as the other one I started asking this same question!

I think there a way to do this in HTML on Word Press -- but I can't seem to do the same on Serendipity. Or is there?

Ok what I am trying to achieve is being able to select which plugins appear on each page such as on an individual blog post, static pages, and category pages or even page 2 or 3 of the main blog.

Obviously I want the plugins that are going to make me money on every page i.e. advertisements, links to sponsors etc (I can nofollow these links no problem) but for SEO reasons I would like the plugins for link trades and blog directory submissions to just appear on the front index page.

So if I could apply this flexibility to the external PHP application and html nugget that would be perfect!

ny solution to this problem?

Didn't Garvin already answer this here?
