If you’re using a different template for your homepage compared to all the other pages, you can use that in an if statement.

“If template is different than home => display text”

Let me know if you need help with that :wink:

Do I get this right, that you want a different behavior of the logo depending on whether the home page is visited directly or if the user comes from another page?

If so, I think you could achieve this with cookies. But what is your use case for showing a different logo?

thank you @texnixe @Thiousi for your answers.

if found a solution:

home button with link to /index.php
if the user visit first time the homepage
www.myhomepage.com
logo without text

if the user use the home button (/index.php)
logo with text

      <a href="/index.php">
      <div id="logo-wrapper">
        <ul id="logo-symbol">
          <li><h1>logo</h1></li>
        </ul>
        <?php
        $url= $_SERVER['REQUEST_URI'];
        if ($url == '/index.php')
        {
          ?>

                <ul id="logo-title">
                  <li>text</li>
                  <li>text</li>
                </ul>

               
         <?php                
          }
              ?>
      </div>
       </a>

Hey! I think I understand what you’re looking to do (determine whether a visitor has seen your homepage, yet), but I wanted to offer a broader solution. For anyone else coming here looking for a way to alter the appearance of global page elements based on the current page, this is still relevant information!

The above may work, but doesn’t really look like a Kirby-specific solution— in fact, most people will be using mod_rewrite and have URLs without the index.php script name. Plus, Kirby has so many built-in helpers that you can probably avoid comparing strings to super global properties. Take $page->isHomePage() for example!

This kind of thing should be as simple as using a bit of CSS, but check out one really neat trick, first.

<body class="<?php echo $page->slug() ?>">

You’ll end up with something like this, if your Homepage has the slug home:

<body class="home">

It’s also possible, as @texnixe noted, to set a Cookie— you could just as easily add a class to body based on the state of that cookie.

Either way, with CSS, you can use a scoped rule to target the header content you want to show or hide:

/* Default appearance */
.logo-title { display: none; }

/* Appearance when on the homepage */
body.home .logo-title { display: none; }

/* Appearance based on cookie state */
body.already-viewed-homepage .logo-title { display: none; }

/* The same works for any other page slug! */
body.contact .logo-title { display: none; }

You can even add multiple classes (i.e. one for $page->template())! I typically use a helper function to add them more efficiently.

:v:

@AugustMiller Yes, I would prefer that to the solution with the index.php as well.

@AugustMiller thank you for answer and the tip $page->isHomePage()

i found another solution with $_SESSION
set the session var in all templates but not in home template

       <div id="logo-wrapper">
            <a href="/">

        <ul id="logo-symbol">
          <li><h1>logo</h1></li>
        </ul>
        <?php
        
        if ($_SESSION["homebutton"] == 1 and $page->isHomePage())
        {
          ?>

                <ul id="logo-title">
                  <li>text</li>
                  <li>text</li>
                </ul>

               
               
<?php                
}
    ?>
       </a>
      </div>

why the /index.php is not a good solution ?
