If you're trying to use either of them on copies of the homepage, then you need to enable them for display and then your CSS can control which copy of the homepage they show on. Also, you'll have to get that full screen slideshow off all your other copies of the homepage.

Thanks jfriend, I fixed the top javascript code. Now the two pages /about and /ads work and the appropriate box in each appears. One more problem remains, the slideshow still works behind the /ads page and I don't know why that happens. I have added it to the fullscreen slideshow code just like I did for the /about page. /about worked (no slideshow in it), but /ads didn't... Strange..

I'm sorry, but I'm not familiar with how that full screen slideshow interacts with the different copies of the homepage. I'd suggest you post your question in the thread for the full screen slideshow.

Thanks jfriend, I'll just keep it as it is, until I figure it out myself. It looks nice anyways :P

Originally Posted by jfriend Yes, if each navbar has it's own unique CSS ID: <div id="navbar1"> ... </div> <div id="navbar2"> ... </div> Then, you could use CSS like this to show a different navbar on the galleries page: /* hide navbar2 by default */ #navbar2 {display: none;} /* on galleries page, show navbar2, hide navbar1 */ .galleries #navbar2 {display: block;} .galleries #navbar1 {display: none;}

I have setup a second homepage, but I use drop down menu which is described as <div class="menu">,not ID,
I also setup another class <div class="menu1"> to be a defferent menu on my second homepage,
but when I get all these to work ,both my default homepage and my second homepage display two dropdown bars

so ,what can I do ? thanks!

Even though you are currently using a class on your menu, you can also add an ID (an object can have both). So, you can add id="navbar1" and id="navbar2" to the different menus and use my earlier code to control which shows where. If you want further help, then please be more specific about exactly which navbar you want to show on which pages.

Thanks John!
it works again now because I forgot something in top java.
I put the code this way:

keep the "menu" and "menu1" as classes ,
then use
.homepage .menu1 {display: none} to hide the second menu on the default homepage;
use
.galleries .menu1 {display: block} to show it on the second homepage.

don't know much about coding , just had a try,and it seems to be working properly.

AND:
Could I have a different page title for my second homepage? thanks!

You could have a different title for the galleries page with this code in your bottom javascript:

if (YD.hasClass(document.body, "galleries"))
{
    document.title = "My Second Page Title";
}

Obviously, you please "My Second Page Title" with whatever you want it to be.

Here is what I am trying to achieve:
- slideshow on the default home page.
- recent photos on a "recent" page.
Both pages are accessed via a link in the navbar... and both do not show anything.


I think I carefully followed all the steps. I also removed any other piece of script like the (awesome) html5 slideshow. So I have :
- Slideshow and Recent Photos checked in the Homepage Layout dropbox.
- The "DuplicateHomepage" script in Top Javascript.
- In the Head Tag :

<script type="text/javascript">
DuplicateHomepage("recent");
</script>

- In the CSS:

/* hide all homepage items by default on the homepage */
.homepage #recentPhotosBox,
.homepage #datesBox,
.homepage #featuredBox,
.homepage #slideshowBox,
.homepage #photoVideoBox,
.homepage #galleriesBox,
.homepage #categoriesBox,
.homepage #eventsBox,
.homepage #bioBox {display: none;}

/* on the actual default homepage, show the item(s) we want here */
.homepageDefault #slideshowBox {display: block;}

/* CSS for the recent pictures page */
.recent #recentPhotosBox {display: block;}

Many thanks for your help.

I already have multiple homepages (galleries and find) done the "old" way. Any reason I should update to this method?

Don't fix something that's not broken. Why would you want to add all that extra code?

Per step 4 of the instructions, the DuplicateHomepage("recent"); line goes in your custom header, not in the head tag where you have it. It won't work where you have it because that's before the <body> tag so it doesn't even exist yet so it can't do it's job.

How stupid of me!
Thank you for your time - and for the script of course.

Hi, I am attempting to completely redo my site and tried this in conjunction with the easy customizer. When I click on my 'galleries" there is nothing there. Galleries are enabled on the homepage. Sorry, I am an idiot and have not done any of this stuff in a couple of years.

In your CSS, change this:

/* on the actual default homepage, show the item(s) we want here */
.homepageDefault #slideshowBox {display: block;}
.galleries #galleriesBox,

to this:

/* on the actual default homepage, show the item(s) we want here */
.galleries #galleriesBox,
.galleries #categoriesBox,
.homepageDefault #slideshowBox {display: block;}

That worked! Thank you. Now on to adding one for "about (aka bio)" and "contact" and getting rid of those white and green bars...

Thanks again!

Ok, strange...it works the first time I click on "galleries" but it doesn't work when I go back to my homepage via my Onward Rocinante banner and then try to go back to galleries by clicking on "galleries" again. I don't get it.
