Showing boxes on homepage only

[fxrescbe 0]

I have a blog with a dynamic home page showing the latest articles. I would like to add a boxes section that is showing there, but not on any other page. I can add boxes and switch them to be invisible by default, but since the start page is not configurable, I cannot enable them on that page. Any secret way of achieving this?

You can load them everywhere then add this css #boxes {display:none;} .home #boxes {display:block;}

The other option is to create a custom template and using that for the home page only. Instructions on how to do this can be found in the latest releases of platformbase (which is where you'll want to create the custom template). Let us know if you need guidance in creating it.
