    For several aesthetic reasons, there are many designers that try to make the looks of a home page different than the rest of the site and for this we can take advantage of some Joomla ready API’s…

    [PHP]
    <?php
    $menu = $app->getMenu(); //Calling getMenu function from library
    if ($menu->getActive() == $menu->getDefault()) : //If the page you are viewing is home add the following line
    echo ‘<body id=”homepage”>’;
    else: //If not home page add the following line
    echo ‘<body>’;
    endif;
    ?>
    [/PHP]

    You can add this to templatestemplate_nametplsdefault.php or what ever other variation file that will be the home page of your website T3V3 based template

    Unfortunatly this throws an error in the template management in the most recent version of jat3v3

    The layout cannot be loaded. There might be some errors in the layout file.

    Any updates on this?

    Sorry,

    there is something missing on the previous code I pasted before, it should be like

    [PHP]
    <?php
    $app = JFactory::getApplication();
    $menu = $app->getMenu(); //Calling getMenu function from library
    if ($menu->getActive() == $menu->getDefault()) : //If the page you are viewing is home add the following line
    echo ‘<body id=”homepage”>’;
    else: //If not home page add the following line
    echo ‘<body>’;
    endif; ?>
    [/PHP]

    1 user says Thank You to griiettner for this useful post

    I’m not sure what template you are trying, but, I got no error using the same exact code you posted… it worked fine for me on JA_Blank template…

    Sorry, I could not replicate the error you are having on the admin area… what I can think now, is, maybe, one of the variables are being used by some other function on the template… try renaming the variables to something different, by adding some sort of suffix…
