Check if Site is a Blog-Article (Single-View)

peesen — Mon, 12 Apr 2021 11:37:09 GMT

Hello everyone,

In the HubSpot documentary you can find the following if statement to check if the page is a blog-listing-view:

{% if is_listing_view %}

You can also change this to if is not listing view:

{% if !is_listing_view %}

But is there also an if-statement to check if it is a single blog-view?

Thank you so much and have a great day!

@peesen @dennisedson Hmm I don't think i've come across anything that uses an if-statement check for single blost post view.

I typically use a separate template for the single blog post. @peesen what would the use-case be for this if statement? Maybe there's another way to acheive what you're looking for?

@jonchimHey Jon, thank you so much. I use the header as a partial and would like to just specify somethine especially for blog posts. If there is no statement i have to create two different header partials (standard and for blog-posts). I wait if i can get any feedback from hubspot. Have a great day!

@peesen , I tested this in my sandbox from the base.html file and it worked.

{% if blog and !is_listing_view %}  {% endif %}
