How to show another header template at home page?

Question

I have get an header.twig file. I need to display this header template in home page differently than in others pages. How to do that?

Answer 1

Make two files, header.twig and home_header.twig

In catalog/controller/common/header.php there is a function index(), this uses header.twig

Write another method for example index_home() in header.php and copy the index() body in this function (make any changes if needed)

In index_home() change

return $this->load->view('common/header', $data);

to

return $this->load->view('common/home_header', $data);

If you check functions of every controller there is a line

$data['header'] = $this->load->controller('common/header');

this will call header.twig Whichever function you need to use home_header.twig you can replace

$data['header'] = $this->load->controller('common/header');

in that function with

$data['header'] = $this->load->controller('common/header/index_home');

This will use home_header.twig
