SOLVED if start page show a div

[neophron]

Hi,

I want to show only on the start page a div with some content.

I'm trying with my rudimentary php skills to construct this:

<?php if($page->isHomePage()): ?>
      <div class="xx">
        lorem ipsum
      </div>
    <?php else: ?>
  <?php endif ?>

 

Ok, I know that isHomePage will give me an error. But, is there a methods how to detect the start page and then to echo a div?

I thought about

<?php if($page->is($home)): ?>

where »home« is the template and the start page is connected with it. I'm using the older templating method. 
What would you recommend?

Thank you

Try:

<?php if ($page->id == 1 ) : ?>
	<div>your content</div>
<?php else: ?>
	xxx
<?php endif; ?>

$home = $pages->get('path=/');

Hi psy and pideluxe,
