Hello Everyone!

I used the following code in a Joomla 1.0 template to check to see if the current page is the homepage (fronpage):
Code:
<?php
if ($option == 'com_frontpage' )
{
// This is the front page
}
else
{
//this is not the front page
}
?>


Can someone please tell me how I would do this in 1.5? IS there a way to grab the 'view' variable in the url to see if it is 'front page'?

For all of you reading this post, I figured it out. You can use the following code to detect frontpage.
Code:
<?php if (JRequest::getVar('view') == 'frontpage')
{
echo 'this is front page';
}
?>

This also works:

Code:
<?php
$menu = & JSite::getMenu();
if ($menu->getActive() == $menu->getDefault()) {
   echo 'This is the front page';
}
?>

Thanks for the tip, but when I put this on my template I get
Quote:
PHP Fatal error: Class 'JSite' not found
. Why is this? Is it not allowed to use this on templates or should I be including the JSite somehow? :eek:

Try putting this somewhere before the frontpage checking:

Code:
    <?php
   $pageoption = JRequest::getVar( 'option', '' );
   ?>

Well actually that wouldn't work either. I figured out what's wrong. Quite embarrassingly I had not checked the version of my Joomla :-[ I'm using the 1.0 stable version. I guess I just assumed most people would be using the stable one. So the solution for 1.0 is found earlier on this thread :P

there is an error in this code it should read:

Code:
<?php
$menu = & JSite::getMenu();
if ($menu->getActive() === $menu->getDefault()) {
   echo 'This is the front page';
}
?>


At least in PHP 5, the triple equals is necessary because it says that the items are exactly the same, otherwise it won't be considered equal

byoung618, Thanks for your code! It worked!
I have also tried that other code, but it may show your content on other pages besides the defalt one since it relies on ItemID thing which may be inherited from the previous page you've visited :(
Code:
<?php
$menu = & JSite::getMenu();
if ($menu->getActive() == $menu->getDefault()) {
   echo 'This is the front page';
}
?>

In my case, content is linked to the main page menu. So, besides the front page, all content pages were considered as "frontpage" due to the linking to that default menu item.

As by now my solution for Joomla 1.7 (will work in 1.6 too) is
Code:
function isFrontPage() {
   
    $mainframe = JFactory::getApplication();   
    $sef = $mainframe->getCfg( 'sef' );
    $menu = JSite::getMenu();
   
    if ( $sef ) {
        $uri = JURI::getInstance()->toString( array( 'path' ) );
        if ( $menu->getActive() === $menu->getDefault() && ( $uri == '/index.php' || $uri == '/' ) ) {
            return true;
        }
    } else {
        $uri = JURI::getInstance()->toString( array( 'query' ) );
        if ( $menu->getActive() === $menu->getDefault() && ( $uri == '' || substr( $uri, 0, 12 ) == '?limitstart=' ) ) {
            return true;
        }
    }
    return false;
}

You can try this for Joomla 1.6 & 1.7 - 1.7.3 (It works good for me)


$option = JRequest::getCmd('option');
$view = JRequest::getCmd('view');

$frontpage = ($option == 'com_content' && $view == 'featured');
$article = ($option == 'com_content' && $view == 'article');

if ($frontpage){
//Your front Page
}
else{
//Your Article Page
}

/**************************************/
if($article){
// Your Article Page
}

In later versions of joomla 1.5 com_frontpage is not available. The code mentioned above do work . For versions 1.6 and later there is more info here.

Hope that helps

for 1.5 Instead of "featured" use "frontpage" as like below

$option = JRequest::getCmd('option');
$view = JRequest::getCmd('view');

$frontpage = ($option == 'com_content' && $view == 'frontpage');
$article = ($option == 'com_content' && $view == 'article');

if ($frontpage){
//Your front Page
}
else{
//Your Article Page
}


I think it may works?

Yeah kaviarasankk, I can confirm that works for me as well!
Gunna set about implementing it later :)

Hi everyone,

What if I want to show/hide modules by url parameter?
The best idea as I understand is to show/hise the divs, but how do I do it? (I'm not that good in PHP, sorry)
