Hello,
I'd like to achieve the following:
having a different front page without creating two different demplates.
the only difference between the front page and all the other pages is that I want to show a large header image on the front page but not on all the other pages.
could this somehow be done with the document id or how could this be achieved.
thank you

Yes, this could be done several different ways depending on what you are displaying and how you would like to go about this task... My recommendation would be to create a TopImage snippet that would use one image for the ID of your front page and then display a different image for any other page, using a conditional "if" clause... Something like:
You could use [[TopImage]] in place of your image name within the site template... Not tested, but should work...
if(id == 0) { # ID of your sites front page
$img = "frontpage_top.png";
}
else {
$img = "site_top.png";
}
return $img;

This would work as well:
This will show an image if the ID is the ID you've put in the 'site start' setting in Etomite Configuration, or else won't show anything at all
If you want to show more than just an image, you could put your header in a chunk (call it LargeHeader), and then do this:
if($etomite->documentIdentifier==$etomite->config['site_start']) {
return "<img src='frontpage_top.png' />";
} else {
return false;
}

return $etomite->getChunk('LargeHeader');
} else {
return false;
}

I wasn't sure if an image was required for the rest of the site or not, which is why I had opted for the one or the other scenario... Just goes to show that there is a lot of flexibility when working with Etomite... What a beautiful thing...
