Slider Question

I have another question on the Overdrive template.

The following code activates the slider in the infobox place holder, but just on the page entitled "Home":


--- Code: ---<?php
$sitename = PAGE_TITLE;
if ($sitename == "Home") {
echo '<div id="infobox">
<div class="relative container">
<div id="slides">
<img src="../overdrive/slider/1.png" alt=""/>
<img src="../overdrive/slider/2.png" alt=""/>
<img src="../overdrive/slider/3.png" alt=""/>
<img src="../overdrive/slider/4.png" alt=""/>
</div>
</div>
</div>';
}
else {
 echo '<div id="content_2">';
 echo page_content(2);
 echo '</div>';
};
?>
--- End code ---

How do I add additional pages to be included? I tried if ($sitename == "Home","Contact") and other variations, but I can't crack it. Repeating the whole code segment, changing "Home" to the other page(s) name(s), and removing the else argument works, but it also adds a couple rows of a white space between header and slider holder.

Would it also make sense to use page ID (PAGE_ID ??) instead? Just to be neater, instead of long threads of page names (some of which are 2 and 3 words long, based on the website's menu).

Use this


--- Code: ---if (($sitename == "Home") || ($sitename == "Contact")){
--- End code ---

--- End quote ---

a Page_ID is a Page_ID, its shorter and unique. the code in the top is a solution for 1-3 pages. if you use another variant of this code, its work for all pages, but not on home or contact


--- Code: ---if (($sitename != "Home") || ($sitename != "Contact")){
--- End code ---

if you need more pages, its better to use a shorter select, maybe with in_array like


--- Code: ---<?php  // for colored code only
$sMySliderID = array(1,2,4,7,9);  // all needed PAGE_ID for the slider
if (in_array(PAGE_ID, $sMySliderID)) {
?>

--- End code ---

Spot on Jacobi, that worked a treat (the first option), thanks!

I have another idea about using the slider...

Is it possible to create different sliders according to desired pages? At the moment, the code shown relates to just a single slider with the same images appearing on the desired pages. I know that I could in theory just duplicate the template (overdriveA, overdriveB, and so on) and apply the template to the page in question, but there are the obvious drawbacks, such as when I need to edit the template, I need to edit all the copies of it.
