Hi,
the simplest one would be to do the following:
Code: Select all
<?php if(JRequest::getVar('view') == "frontpage" ) : ?>
<!-- your home page code -->
<?php else : ?>
<!-- your code -->
<?php endif; ?>

I recently wanted to do a home page check in a template for a site that didn't use the 'frontpage' view, which made Olaf's method inapplicable.
There's a fairly easy way to do a more robust check, however, one that checks what the default menu item is and if it's the current menu item, rather than just checking if it's the frontpage view:
Code: Select all
<?php $menu = &JSite::getMenu();
if (JRequest::getInt('Itemid') == $menu->getDefault()) : ?>
<!-- your home page code -->
<?php else : ?>
<!-- your code -->
<?php endif; ?>

I have been searching the forums and have yet to find an answer to my particular issue. I need to have a php if and else statement that will output certain javascript if joomla is on a certain page only. The page is not the home page, so I can't use that code. I have looked for ways to filter to whatever page you want, but to no avail.
If page is 2nd menu link, then print these javascripts in head, else do not print javascipts.

You only want this JS on a single page? If so, just find out that menu item's ID (go to Menus -> [Your Menu], and find the number in the "ItemID" column for the page's menu item). Then, put the following code in the <head> of your template, where you replace your_id with the number you just found:
Code: Select all
<?php if (JRequest::getInt('Itemid') == your_id) : ?>
<!-- special javascript -->
<?php endif; ?>
The "special javascript" will only be printed if your are currently viewing the page specified.

This is the only solution that works in Joomla 1.6 apparently...
Does anyone know another solution for Joomla 1.6?

You just need to adapt one line of the existing code, I believe. I don’t have an install where I quickly test this, but
Code: Select all
<?php $menu = JFactory::getApplication()->getMenu();
if (JRequest::getInt('Itemid') == $menu->getDefault()) : ?>
<!-- your home page code -->
<?php else : ?>
<!-- your code -->
<?php endif; ?>
should work. The method of getting the $menu is the only thing that has changed, as far as I can tell.

I am working in Joomla 1.7 and this worked perfectly for me.

Yes, 1.7 solution works in 2.5, also.
Code: Select all
<?php
$menu = JSite::getMenu();
if ($menu->getActive() == $menu->getDefault()) {
echo 'This is the front page';
}
?>
from here:
http://docs.joomla.org/How_to_determine ... front_page

Being Joomla is OOP you can chain the methods preventing any need to declare classes.
Code: Select all
<?php if (JFactory::getApplication()->getMenu()->getActive() == JFactory::getApplication()->getMenu()->getDefault()) : ?>
echo "I'm a front page!";
<?php else : ?>
echo "I bring dishonor to this page...";
<?php endif; ?>
If someone needs multi-language or varying default pages depending on language you should certainly review the Joomla Documentation link from mdb172.

You should just assume that what works in 1.5 won't work in 2.5. Since 1.6 and 1.7 were transitions, a lot of legacy functionality was depreciated, meaning some legacy extensions still worked. That is not the case with 2.5 which officially removed all depreciated classes and methods.
The below code does the same for 1.5:
Code: Select all
if (JSite::getMenu()->getActive() == JSite::getMenu()->getDefault()) {
echo 'This is the front page';
}

This works for joomla but it doesnt work in Jomres inner pages. I am using jomres on home page and when I click on a property to view property details it still renders it on the home page so
Code: Select all
if($this->countModules( 'position_name' )
doesnt work on those inner pages as it will still be consideres home page. you have to implement custom checks by getting current URL etc.
Code: Select all
$app = JFactory::getApplication();
$menu = $app->getMenu();
if ($menu->getActive() == $menu->getDefault() && !$matched) {

In Joomla! 3.0.3 I did the following which works on basic test, but if anyone can point out any issues with using this mechanism I would appreciate it.
Code: Select all
$app = JFactory::getApplication();
$menu = $app->getMenu();
if ($menu->getActive()->home) {
echo 'This is Home Page';
}
