I want to add a video to the bottom of only the Front Page (I have a static landing page). I can't see how to do that.

I did find this thread...

http://forum.bytesforall.com/showthr...ter+front+page

and thought I may be able to use it, but wasn't able to figure out how to use that with an embedded video from youtube.

Any ideas?

Try this add the code to ATO->Style & edit CENTER COLUMN->Content BELOW the LOOP and surround it with
<?php if (is_front_page() ) { ...your code goes here... } ?>

That's what I tried. This is the error that shows up on the Front Page after I save the code.

Parse error: syntax error, unexpected '<' in /home/pdrags/public_html/strategicsense.ca/wp-content/themes/atahualpa/functions.php(478) : eval()'d code on line 1

It's youtube code I was putting in there.

please cut and paste, exactly what you have in 'Below the LOOP', in a reply and befory you paste it, hit the little 'html' button so it will be surrounded by [ HTML ] [ /HTML ] so I can take a look

This is what I was putting in there. The first section is for the video. The rest is what's standard in there with the Theme.

<?php if (is_front_page() ) { <object width="480" height="385"><param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/fgZwnDlM_ks&hl=en_US&fs=1&rel=0&color1=0xe1600f&color2=0xfebd01"></param><param name="allowFullScreen" value="true"></param><param name="allowscriptaccess" value="always"></param><embed src="http://www.youtube.com/v/fgZwnDlM_ks&hl=en_US&fs=1&rel=0&color1=0xe1600f&color2=0xfebd01" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" allowscriptaccess="always" allowfullscreen="true" width="480" height="385"></embed></object> } ?>  

<?php /* Displayed on SINGLE post pages if activated at ATO -> Next/Previous Navigation: */
bfa_next_previous_post_links('Middle'); ?>

<?php /* Load Comments template (on single post pages, and static pages, if set on options page): */
bfa_get_comments(); ?>

<?php /* Displayed on SINGLE post pages if activated at ATO -> Next/Previous Navigation: */
bfa_next_previous_post_links('Bottom'); ?>
		
<?php /* Archives Pages. Displayed on a specific static page, if configured at ATO -> Archives Pages: */
bfa_archives_page('<div class="archives-page">','</div>'); ?>
			
<?php /* Displayed on MULTI post pages if activated at ATO -> Next/Previous Navigation: */
bfa_next_previous_page_links('Bottom'); ?>

Change the first part to this

<?php if (is_front_page() ) { ?>
<object width="480" height="385"><param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/fgZwnDlM_ks&hl=en_US&fs=1&rel=0&color1=0xe1600f&color2=0xfebd01"></param><param name="allowFullScreen" value="true"></param><param name="allowscriptaccess" value="always"></param><embed src="http://www.youtube.com/v/fgZwnDlM_ks&hl=en_US&fs=1&rel=0&color1=0xe1600f&color2=0xfebd01" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" allowscriptaccess="always" allowfullscreen="true" width="480" height="385"></embed></object>  <?php } ?>

Because you are mixing PHP and HTML you have to close the PHP before adding the HTML, then open the PHP for the end part.

OK! So what if I wanted to put something different on another page...say like a testimonial or something. How do I identify the other page? By the page number?

How would I phrase the if statement?

Perfect. Thanks.

I'm glad I found this place, and donated (and will add more later). I've learned a TON here already...both from asking and just reading.
