Display block only on front page

By openbayou on 18 Jun 2015 at 21:08 UTC

Hi,

I have a view that saved as a block, how do I make it only display the block on the front page? I've tried and drupal_is_front_pageon show block on specific pages and it either display the block on all pages or removes the block. Any suggestions on what to do? I also have a view as the front page called /frontpage.

In the block settings you can limit it to the path "<front>" (don't enter the double quotes)

I'm very new to Drupal. Do I make the path to the block? If so, how I find out what the path is? I don't know if this helps but my this is my URL for index: /frontpage, frontpage?page=0

Go to the block admin page.

Go to the block admin page. Find the block. Click 'configure'. Select 'show only on the given paths'. add <front> and save.

For some reason, my first post was edited and it removed <front>. That does not work.

That should not happen. I

That should not happen. I think you might have deleted block or views that created the block. As Jaypan or other members have already suggested just adding path as <front> in the block configuration visibility setting should work. You have to select "Only the listed pages" under "Show block on specific pages " section and add path as <front>

I agree. If the block is

I agree. If the block is still showing up on other pages after doing this, then you've got some custom code that is doing something funny, or you've got a contributed module (from Drupal.org) that is doing something funny. Start disabling modules and re-testing until the block disappears from other pages (then you'll know which module is causing the issue). You'll also want to try another theme to see if the problem is in your theme. You should actually do this before checking modules.

Something else to check is to

Something else to check is to visit "Configuration" >> "Site Information" and the setting for "Default front page". Is it set to "frontpage", the path for your view?

What I did: nuked my setup, downloaded 7.38, installed 7.38 with minimum settings, used the garland theme, added 6 posts with 3 posts per page in articles content type, moved power by drupal blocked to the footer region, added to only the listed pages. Still on every page! Cleared cache, still there.
