Homepage IF statement, to show only certain DIV containing LOOP

  • Hi Guys,

    I am trying to have two seperate categories on my homepage, so i can show only certain posts in one column, and others in the other.

    However i only want the certain posts to show on the homepage so i have tried using a IF statement but it is giving me an error when used with the loop.

    Any ideas would be most appreciated.

    Thanks

    <?php
  if (is_home())
    echo '<div>

    <?php while (have_posts()) : the_post(); ?>

			<div class="post" id="post-<?php the_ID(); ?>">
				<div class="header">
					<h2><a href="<?php the_permalink() ?>" rel="bookmark" title="Permanent Link to <?php the_title(); ?>"><?php the_title(); ?></a></h2> <span class="date"><?php the_time('F jS, Y') ?> <!-- by <?php the_author() ?> --></span>
					<span class="comments"><?php comments_popup_link('No Comments', '1 Comment', '% Comments'); ?></span>
				</div>

</div>'?>

  • asigno,

    Hi, There are a couple reasons why the code above would generate errors. The Main reason would be the fact that you nested the <?php tags. This will always cause the page to break…

    <?php
  if (is_home())
    echo '<div>

    <?php

    Please Try the code below:

    <?php // Start of "The Loop"
	if (have_posts()) :
		while (have_posts()) :
			the_post();
?>

<?php if ( is_home() ) : ?>
	<!-- Insert Special Code For Homepage Here -->
<?php else : ?>
	<!-- Code for all other pages -->
<?php endif; ?>

<?php // End of the Loop
	   endwhile;
	endif;
?>

    Excellent thanks ??
