MetaMod only on the index page

Hello,
Can you please help me ? I'm trying to display a specific module only on the mainpage of my site (/index.php),and another module on the rest of the pages from the com_content/view frontpage.
Basically:
now i have
if ($option == 'com_content' and $view == 'featured') return 174;

i tried on index:

if ($option == 'com_content' and $view == 'featured' and $limitstart == '0' and $view == 'featured') return 174;

and on page-2 :

if ($option == 'com_content' and $view == 'featured' and $limitstart == '5' and $view == 'featured') return 171;

it doesn't display the module at all

can you please give me the right synthax ?

Thank you in advance !
Best Regards,
Stefan

Re: MetaMod only on the index page

Hi Stefan,

in MetaMod, some variables are prepopulated, like $option, $view and $Itemid. Others (like limitstart) are not. So you may need to combine things like this:

if ($option == 'com_content' and $view == 'featured' and JRequest::getVar("limitstart") == '0' and $view == 'featured') return 174;

Also, try turning on MetaMod's "advanced debug" mode and viewing the pages in question - it should spit out some PHP code similar to that above, which may help further.

Best regards,
Stephen
