How to give condition in xml file for showing different block in different pages

Question

How to give condition in xml file for showing different block in different pages. Like I place a block name "Footer Block" in default xml file, and I want different footer for different pages.

 <referenceContainer name="footer">
 <block class="Magento\Cms\Block\Block" name="footer_links_block">
 <arguments>
 <argument name="block_id" xsi:type="string">footer_links_block</argument>
 </arguments>
 </block>
 </referenceContainer>

I want this that this footer only will show in home page and I want to different footer block for other pages. How I can do it in Magento 2.2.5

Thank You

• Vivek Kumar: Please clarify, by different pages you mean different type of pages or like different category pages/ different product pages?
• M.Suman: I want to show footer in home page and different footer for other pages. And this footer section I have done by block. In default.xml file I fetch this block. So I want any condition that I can differentiate in xml file. How I can do this. Thank you for your reply.
• M.Suman: Hello @Vivek Kumar, is there any way to do this functionality? Sorry, that before I didn't clarify the question clearly. Please help, if is there any way to do this. Thank you.

Answer 1

Okay, I got the solution. I call the .phtml page into .xml file, like this.

default.xml

 <referenceContainer name="footer">
 <container name="footer-custom" htmlTag="div" htmlClass="footer-custom">
 <block class="Magento\Framework\View\Element\Template" name="footer_upper" template="Magento_Theme::html/footer.phtml"> 
 </block> 
 </container>
 </referenceContainer>

and then in .phtml file I place the condition and fetch the block there, like this.

footer.phtml

<?php
 $objectManager = \Magento\Framework\App\ObjectManager::getInstance();
 $cmsPage = $objectManager->get('\Magento\Cms\Model\Page');
 $cmsIdent = $cmsPage->getIdentifier();
?>
<?php
 if ($cmsIdent == 'home') {
 echo $block->getLayout()
 ->createBlock('Magento\Cms\Block\Block')
 ->setBlockId('footer_links_block')
 ->toHtml();
 } else {
 echo $block->getLayout()
 ->createBlock('Magento\Cms\Block\Block')
 ->setBlockId('footer_links_block_for_others')
 ->toHtml();
 }
?>

It works perfect for me. Thank you.

If you have to show it only for home page, then more appropriate solution will be to show them via cms_index_index.xml. In that way, you can manage everything via XML too including containers if you have to add them in near future.
