[Theme: Simple Catch] Different sidebar in homepage

Resolved

(@fotonarya)

I would like to have a different sidebar for the posts page then the static front page. Using widgets on both.
I already have simple catch child theme and add this code in function.php

if ( function_exists( 'register_sidebar' ) ) {
	register_sidebar( array(
		'name'          => __( 'Home', 'simplecatch' ),
		'id'            => 'home',
		'description'   => __( 'Sidebar homepage', 'simplecatch' ),
		'before_widget' => '<div class="widget">',
		'after_widget'  => '</div>',
		'before_title'  => '<h3>',
		'after_title'   => '</h3><hr/>'
	) );
}

and replace this code in sidebar.php

if ( function_exists( 'dynamic_sidebar' ) ) {
		//displays 'sidebar' for all pages
		dynamic_sidebar( 'sidebar' );
	}
	?>

with this code

if ( function_exists('dynamic_sidebar')):
		if (is_home())
			dynamic_sidebar('home');
		else dynamic_sidebar('sidebar');
		endif;

but it’s doesn’t work 🙁
Please advice….

Thanks,

you don’t need to replace the code in sidebar.php code but add this code in index.php or where it sidebar.php is being included.

@satty005 already add the code to index.php, but still cannot get this work.
Please tell me, what exactly i have to do
I’m not a kind of expert in this coding world

@fotonarya: Four function.php code looks fine. But your sidebar.php should be like this:

global $post;
	if( $post )
		$layout = get_post_meta( $post->ID,'simplecatch-sidebarlayout', true ); 

	if( empty( $layout ) || ( !is_page() && !is_single() ) )
		$layout='default';

	global $simplecatch_options_settings;
    $options = $simplecatch_options_settings;

	$themeoption_layout = $options['sidebar_layout'];

	if( $layout=='left-sidebar' ||( $layout=='default' && $themeoption_layout == 'left-sidebar') ) {
		echo '<div id="sidebar" class="col4 no-margin-left">';
	} else {
		echo '<div id="sidebar" class="col4">';
	} 

	if ( function_exists( 'dynamic_sidebar' ) ) {
		if  ( is_home() || is_front_page() ) {
			//displays 'sidebar' for all pages
			dynamic_sidebar( 'home' );
		} else {
			//displays 'sidebar' for all pages
			dynamic_sidebar( 'sidebar' );
		}
	}

	?>
	</div><!-- #sidebar -->

	<?php
	if(!( $layout=='left-sidebar' ||( $layout=='default' && $themeoption_layout == 'left-sidebar') ) ) {
		echo '<div class="row-end"></div>';
	}
