Is it possible to set up conditional branching of content by template type?

TMisuna — Tue, 30 Apr 2024 07:49:42 GMT

I have created the source code to generate the breadcrumbs in my theme.
However, the commented out section is the breadcrumbs listing that I want to display only in the blog_post template.
I know HubSpot has various template types, page / blog_post / blog_listing, etc., but is it possible to apply conditional branching by template type?
I'm thinking of it like is_page() or is_single() in WordPress, but is this wrong?
I searched for a way to write something like “if blog_post” but couldn't find it.

<div class="breadcrumb"> <ul class="breadcrumb__list"> <li class="breadcrumb__item"> <a href="/" class="breadcrumb__link">HOME</a> </li>  <li class="breadcrumb__item"> <a href="{{ group.absolute_url }}" class="breadcrumb__link">{{ group.html_title }}</a> </li>  {% if content.topic_list and content.topic_list | length > 0 %} {% set topic = content.topic_list[0] %} <li class="breadcrumb__item"> <a href="{{ group.absolute_url }}/tag/{{ topic.slug }}" class="breadcrumb__link">{{ topic.name }}</a> </li> {% endif %} <li class="breadcrumb__item"> <a href="{{ content.absolute_url }}" class="breadcrumb__link">{{ content.name }}</a> </li> </ul> </div>

Hey, @TMisuna 👋 Welcome to our community! Great question. Have you tried something like this?

<div class="breadcrumb"> <ul class="breadcrumb__list"> <li class="breadcrumb__item"> <a href="/" class="breadcrumb__link">HOME</a> </li> {% if content.content_type == "BLOG_POST" %}  <li class="breadcrumb__item"> <a href="{{ content.blog_group.absolute_url }}" class="breadcrumb__link">{{ content.blog_group.html_title }}</a> </li> {% endif %} {% if content.topic_list and content.topic_list | length > 0 %} {% set topic = content.topic_list[0] %} <li class="breadcrumb__item"> <a href="{{ content.blog_group.absolute_url }}/tag/{{ topic.slug }}" class="breadcrumb__link">{{ topic.name }}</a> </li> {% endif %} <li class="breadcrumb__item"> <a href="{{ content.absolute_url }}" class="breadcrumb__link">{{ content.name }}</a> </li> </ul> </div>

If that doesn't work for you, please post back and we'll see what else might help.

Best,

Jaycee

Thanks for your valuable answers! However, it did not work. I actually opened a blog page with “templateType: blog_post” and looked at the JSON structure in HubSpot's developer tools, but could not find the “content.content_type” as data. So my blog_post page description may be wrong (no content_type).
I will look into it. By the way, is the description {% if content.content_type == “BLOG_POST” %} a common way for HubSpot engineers to write other templateTypes? Sorry I don't know much about it.
