How to Load a .phtml File Only for Homepage in Magento 2

conditional-loadinghomemagento2phtml

I am trying to load a phtml file like this:

File /app/design/frontend/name/themename/Magento_Theme/layout/default.xml

    <referenceContainer name="page.top">
        <block class="Magento\Framework\View\Element\Template" name="startphoto" template="html/startphotos.phtml">
            <arguments>
                <argument name="section" xsi:type="string">homepage</argument>
                <argument name="position" xsi:type="number">0</argument>
            </arguments>
        </block>
    </referenceContainer>

I want to load it only on homepage, but it is still loading on every page. The arguments seems to be ignored.

As per as, Magento2, default.xml is call at every page.If you add this code at default.xml then it would be automatically call every pages of your current theme.

If you know about Magento 1.x handler concept then you can understand that default is a handle which is called at every pages.In Magento 2.X,every handler is individual layout files.

So if want to add a phtml file only at home page then you need to add that code at cms_index_index.xml (/app/design/frontend/name/themename/Magento_Cms/layout/cms_index_index.xml) layout file because of cms_index_index is handler which call only called at home

Suppose package:Learning and module: Custom

Module.xml looks like

<config xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance" xsi:noNamespaceSchemaLocation="../../../../../lib/internal/Magento/Framework/Module/etc/module.xsd">
    <module name="Learning_Custom" setup_version="2.0.0">
        <sequence>
            <module name="Magento_Catalog"/>
        </sequence>
    </module>
</config>

And then create a layout xml following path -> app/code/Learning/Custom/view/frontend/layout/catalog_product_prices.xml

<layout xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance" xsi:noNamespaceSchemaLocation="../../../../../../../lib/internal/Magento/Framework/View/Layout/etc/layout_generic.xsd">
    <referenceBlock name="render.product.prices">
        <arguments>
            <argument name="default" xsi:type="array">
                <item name="prices" xsi:type="array">
                    <item name="tier_price" xsi:type="array">
                        <item name="render_template" xsi:type="string">Learning_Custom::product/price/tier_prices.phtml
                    </item>
                </item>
            </argument>
        </arguments>
    </referenceBlock>
</layout>

Create template inside your module or copy base template file inside your module path should be -> app/code/Learning/Custom/view/frontend/templates/product/price/tier_prices.phtml
