Joomla 1.0
In Joomla! 1.0.x it was possible to determine if the user was viewing the front page by using code like this:
<?php
if ($option == 'com_frontpage' || $option == '') {
echo 'This is the front page';
}
?>
Joomla 1.5[edit]
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
<?php
$menu = & JSite::getMenu();
if ($menu->getActive() == $menu->getDefault()) {
echo 'This is the front page';
}
?>
This works by checking to see if the current active menu item is the default one.
Joomla 2.5 and 3.x series[edit]
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:
<?php
$app = JFactory::getApplication();
$menu = $app->getMenu();
if ($menu->getActive() == $menu->getDefault()) {
echo 'This is the front page';
}
?>
For multi-lingual sites the front page is dependent on the currently selected language, so you will need to use code like this:
<?php
$app = JFactory::getApplication();
$menu = $app->getMenu();
if ($menu->getActive() == $menu->getDefault( 'en-GB' )) {
echo 'This is the front page';
}
elseif ($menu->getActive() == $menu->getDefault( 'fr-FR' )) {
echo 'Accueil';
}
?>
For multi-lingual sites, it could also be necessary to display a specific code/html for all Default Home pages.
<?php
$app = JFactory::getApplication();
$menu = $app->getMenu();
$lang = JFactory::getLanguage();
if ($menu->getActive() == $menu->getDefault($lang->getTag())) {
echo 'This is the front page';
}
else {
echo 'Accueil';
}
?>
