Output class if template equal to

Hello,

I'm trying to append a class to the HTML, based on the template name.

For example: If template = index.php add class="pg-home" else if template = news.php add class="pg-news"

At the moment i'm adding it like this:

class="<cms:if k_template_name=='index.php'>pg-home</cms:if> <cms:if k_template_name=='news.php'>pg-news</cms:if>

But wondered if this was the 'right' approach to take? Someone may have a better way, as this method becomes quite hard to read (code wise).

Thanks in advance

Hi Steve,

Your approach is perfectly valid.
However, If the readability issue bothers you, you can modify the approach a little to make it as follows -

Code: Select all

<cms:capture into='my_class' 'global'>
    <cms:if k_template_name=='index.php'>pg-home</cms:if> 
    <cms:if k_template_name=='news.php'>pg-news</cms:if> 
    <cms:if k_template_name=='contact.php'>pg-contact</cms:if> 
</cms:capture>

<BODY class="<cms:show my_class />">
..

Hope it helps.
