How to determine if the user is viewing the front page<\/h2>\n

\"Joomla<\/a> Joomla 1.0<\/h2>\n

In Joomla! 1.0.x it was possible to determine if the user was viewing the front page by using code like this:<\/p>\n

\n
\n
<?php\r\nif ($option == 'com_frontpage' || $option == '') {\r\n\techo 'This is the front page';\r\n}\r\n?><\/pre>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\"Joomla<\/a> Joomla 1.5<\/h2>\n
But in Joomla! 1.5.x the com_frontpage component is no longer present. This is how to achieve the same result in Joomla! 1.5.x<\/p>\n
\n
\n
<?php\r\n$menu = & JSite::getMenu();\r\nif ($menu->getActive() == $menu->getDefault()) {\r\n\techo 'This is the front page';\r\n}\r\n?><\/pre>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
This works by checking to see if the current active menu item is the default one.<\/p>\n
\"Joomla<\/a> \"Joomla<\/a> \"Joomla<\/a> Joomla 1.6, 1.7 and 2.5<\/h2>\n
This is one of the ways:<\/p>\n
<?php if (JRequest::getInt('Itemid') == your_id) : ?>\r\n\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 <!-- special javascript -->\r\n<?php endif; ?><\/pre>\n
There are some differences in 1.6\/1.7\/2.5 to avoid Strict Standards errors. Use the following code for a site where all content is in the same language:<\/p>\n
\n
\n
<?php\r\n$app = JFactory::getApplication();\r\n$menu = $app->getMenu();\r\nif ($menu->getActive() == $menu->getDefault()) {\r\n\techo 'This is the front page';\r\n}\r\n?><\/pre>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
For multi-lingual sites the front page is dependent on the currently selected language, so you will need to use code like this:<\/p>\n
\n
\n
<?php\r\n$app = JFactory::getApplication();\r\n$menu = $app->getMenu();\r\nif ($menu->getActive() == $menu->getDefault( 'en-GB' )) {\r\n\techo 'This is the front page';\r\n}\r\nelseif ($menu->getActive() == $menu->getDefault( 'fr-FR' )) {\r\n\techo 'Accueil';\r\n}\r\n?><\/pre>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
For multi-lingual sites, it could also be necessary to display a specific code\/html for all<\/strong> Default Home pages.<\/p>\n
\n
\n
<?php $app = JFactory::getApplication(); ?>\r\n<?php $menu = $app->getMenu(); ?>\r\n<?php $lang = JFactory::getLanguage(); ?>\r\n<?php if ($menu->getActive() == $menu->getDefault($lang->getTag())) : ?>\r\netc.<\/pre>\n
