How about using a
block: http://web2py.com/book/default/chapter/05#Blocks-in-Views? Define the
default content of the block in layout.html, and define the index specific
content in index.html.
A few other points:
- I believe request.url will contain the rewritten version of the
requested URL if you're using routes.py, so it may not match your hand-coded
URL.
- If you need to determine the current function (and/or controller), it's
better to match request.function (and/or request.controller) rather than
trying to match the full URL (which could get tricky if the are args, a
query string, or any rewrites going on).
- Using response.write is generally discouraged and usually unnecessary
-- instead, just do:
{{if condition:}}
your html goes here
{{else:}}
alternative html goes here
{{pass}}
