How to implement else statement for functions.php/wordpress

[northerndesigne]

Hi,

I am having some trouble implementing an else statement. Basically the code tells wordpress to display 3 slideshows on the homepage, and if not homepage it should display a single slideshow.

I am using hybrid theme framework.

When it parses this it comes back with a "Parse error: syntax error, unexpected T_ELSE". Thanks in advance for any help given, it will be much appreciated!

/* Homepage Slideshow  */

add_action( 'hybrid_header', 'my_a_slideshow', 9 );

function my_a_slideshow() {
	if ( !is_front_page() ) return;
	?>
			<div id="aslideshow-1">
                <img src="wp-content/uploads/main1.jpg" alt="Downtown Whitehorse Hotel"/>
                <img src="wp-content/uploads/home2.jpg" alt="Comfortable hotel rooms"/>
                <img src="wp-content/uploads/home3.jpg" alt="Deluxe room with 2 double beds located on Main Street, Whitehorse"/>
                <img src="wp-content/uploads/home4.jpg" alt="Boutique Hotel located right on Main Street, Whitehorse - Yukon Territory"/>
            </div>
			<div id="aslideshow-2">
                <img src="wp-content/uploads/topright1.jpg" alt="Exterior photo of the hotel"/>
                <img src="wp-content/uploads/topright2.jpg" alt="The Cellar, fine dining restaurant"/>
                <img src="wp-content/uploads/topright3.jpg" alt="Lobby photo"/>
            </div>
			<div id="aslideshow-3">
                <img src="wp-content/uploads/bottomright1.jpg" alt="Board room meeting space for Yukon meetings"/>
                <img src="wp-content/uploads/bottomright2.jpg" alt="Spacious suites"/>
                <img src="wp-content/uploads/bottomright3.jpg" alt="Finely appointed bathrooms"/>
            </div>
<?php
	else
		echo do_shortcode( '[slideshow id=4 w=960 h=300]' );
	}

The problem is that the if condition has in effect ended before it gets to the else.

Currently it is basically:

if(!is_front_page())
{
return;
}

// html here

else
echo do_shortcode( '[slideshow id=4 w=960 h=300]' );
[code=php]

You need to modify it so if the IF condition is true, you output the three slideshow HTML blocks, ELSE output the do_shortcode() block.

Therefore change it to something like
[code=php]
if(!is_front_page())
{
// display html
} 
else
echo do_shortcode( '[slideshow id=4 w=960 h=300]' );

In this the brackets ("{}") are omitted, but it might help if you add them in so it's easier for you to follow

Ok, got it to work with this:

/ Homepage Slideshow /

add_action( 'hybrid_header', 'my_a_slideshow', 9 );

function my_a_slideshow() {
if ( is_front_page() ) { ?>
HTML Code
<?php
} else {
echo do_shortcode( '[slideshow id=4 w=960 h=300]' );
}
}
