I am brand new to joomla, and am trying to have a few sections, such as a feature slider, show up only on homepage, and some other stuff show only on internal pages. I thought I was on the right track with this code, but does not work correctly. What is the best way to do this? Thank you.
<div id="wrapper">
<!--====================HOME PAGE ONLY========================-->
<?php if(JRequest::getVar('view') == "frontpage" ) : ?>
<div id="feature_slides" class="featuredbox-wrapper"><!--Featured Content Slider-->
<jdoc:include type="modules" name="feature_slides" />
</div><!-- end #feature_slides -->
<?php endif; ?>
<!--====================END
HOME PAGE ONLY========================-->
<div id="main_content">
<!--====================INTERNAL PAGE ONLY========================-->
<?php if(!JRequest::getVar('view') == "frontpage" ) : ?>
<h2 class="page_name">I Am An Internal Page</h2>
<h4 class="breadcrumbs">Breadcrumbs</h4>
<?php endif; ?>
<!--====================END INTERNAL PAGE ONLY========================-->
<!--====================HOME PAGE ONLY========================-->
<?php if(JRequest::getVar('view') == "frontpage" ) : ?>
<div id="intro">
<jdoc:include type="modules" name="home_intro" />
</div><!-- end #intro -->
<?php endif; ?>
<!--====================END
HOME PAGE ONLY========================-->
<div id="main_area" class="clearfix">
<jdoc:include type="component" />
</div><!-- end #main_area -->
<div id="certifications">
<jdoc:include type="modules" name="certifications" />
</div><!-- end #certifications -->
</div><!-- end main_content -->
<div id="right_sidebar">
<jdoc:include type="modules" name="right_sidebar" />
</div><!-- end #right_sidebar -->
<div class="separator"></div><!-- end .separator -->
</div><!-- end wrapper -->
