Dynamic Module Positions

[White_Stacey]

Howdii folks!🙂

This is my first post on this informative board you have here.

Joomla! As I realize my Question is related to a specific CMS, but that CMS is coded mainly in PHP. So a Think this is the right place to post my question.

My idea is to have specific divs and module positions for specific pages. My though on achieving this is...

<?php

		$url = "http://".$_SERVER['HTTP_HOST'].$_SERVER['SCRIPT_NAME'];

		$option1 = "<div id='main'> 
        	<jdoc:include type='modules' name='4-main' style='xhtml' />
            <jdoc:include type='message' />
			<jdoc:include type='component' />        	
        </div><!--main-->";

		$option2 = "<div id='main2'>
        	<jdoc:include type='modules' name='9-main2' style='xhtml' />
            <jdoc:include type='message' />
			<jdoc:include type='component' />
    	</div><!--main-->

		<div id='temp-sidebar'> 
			<jdoc:include type='modules' name='10-temp-sidebar' style='xhtml' />			
        </div><!--temp-sidebar-->";



		if ( $url == 'http://colourbook.ca/index.php')
		{
			echo $option1;
		}

		else
		{
			echo $option2;
		}

    	?>

the problem is that

<jdoc:include type='modules' name=...

seems to be loaded after joomla does its thing and assigns the module positions.

I have other constraints the prohibit me from making a second template, so the need for a dynamic template is key.

Please help if you can.
