ExpressionEngine tag for knowing if you're on a entry page or not

How can you tell inside of a template if the page is being viewed as a single entry page or not?

Solution

  • You would use the {total_results} variable (link) inside of the {exp:channel:entries} loop that generates the entries that you are targeting. For instance, if you're displaying entries for a blog, your template code could look something like this:

    <ul class="entries">    
{exp:channel:entries channel="blog"}
  {if "{total_results}"=="1"}
    <li class="single-entry">
      {title}
      {content}
    </li>
  {if:else}
    <li class="entry">
      <a href="#">{title}</a>
      <p>{excerpt}</p>
    </li>
  {/if}
  {if no_results}
    <li class="no-entries">No blog entries found.</li>
  {/if}
{/exp:channel:entries}
</ul>
