How to display some module (<block>) at a particular page (main)

Question

Problem

There is properly working custom module (as far as I'm concerned), that outputs map. I need to display it only at main page at the content container.

Now it outputs at every page content container.

What was done

First of all, I supposed, that it is doing by changing extended layout in the theme.

  1. At:

/app/design/frontend/<vendor>/<name>/Magento_Theme/layout/default.xml

was written:

<?xml version="1.0"?>
<!--

 */
-->
<page xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance"
      xsi:noNamespaceSchemaLocation="urn:magento:framework:View/Layout/etc/page_configuration.xsd">
    <body>
        <referenceContainer name="content">
            <block class="<Vendor>\Map\Block\Map" name="map" template="<Vendor>_Map::map.phtml">
            </block>
        </referenceContainer>
    </body>
</page>

I saw, that I can control displaying by changing the name, so i tried to use quite a lot of options, that PhpStorm gave me (especially with *.main.*).

  1. The second option was to create custom container and move it, but in process I realised, that I can't select destination at the particular page.
Was it helpful?

Solution

The problem was in incomplete understanding of Magento2 layout system.
