I’m specifying a page class suffix to my Home (default) menu item, which is a Front Page layout on my heavily customized implementation of ja_lead. I’d like to be able to add some additional classes for the header on the homepage only.
I’ve set my page class suffix for the Main menu > Home item to “.homepage”
After a reload, I expected this: <body id=”” class=” fs3 homepage”>
But it’s this instead: <body id=”bd” class=” fs3″>
What gives? Am I doing this wrong, or is it a problem with the ja_lead template? I’ve done a little reading where other people needed front page solutions and used the tmpTools > isFrontpage() function, but I’m not looking for a front page-only solution either, as I’ll need the page class suffix to work for any page.
Thanks.
PS: I cannot post the site publicly, sorry for lack of demo.

The page class suffix only effects the component area (main content area) of the page. The <body> tag covers the whole page.
Sometimes JA refer to the main content area as the ‘body’ in their demos and I think this confuses people.
If you look further down your page source you will see the .homepage text applied to tags.

Hmmm. I’d expect an appending css class to be applied to a top level element like <body> to give the user maximum flexibility in making per-page layout changes via CSS only.
Nowhere in the HTML source is my classname found.
Is there a tmpTools function that I can use to output the page class suffix wherever I want it? How can I find the documentation for this PHP class?
Thanks.

I think this will handle my needs:
http://docs.joomla.org/Using_the_Page_Class_Suffix_in_Template_Code
It’s not JA specific, so thanks for your time anyway.
Edit: It worked wonderfully. I encourage people who want to enhance their JA templates to study the Joomla Docs Wiki.
