Help identifying Home page

Help !

I'm trying to modify this system for a client of mine, and I believe I found where I need make a change - in content.html.php We're running v. 4.5.0 (not the latest release, but one back) I'm going to need to change the "class" in specific areas to something other than "contentheading". My question - how can I tell, when I'm in this script, if the visitor is on the Home page or another page? If the visitor is on the Home page I'll need to change the "contentheading" class to one name, and if he's on an inside page, I'll need to change the "contentheading" class to something completely different. This was I can set up my style sheets to display the "contentheading" class on the Home page differently than it would display on an inside page.

I know that the parameter "option=com_frontpage" is set once a visitor is browsing and goes back to the Home page. But it is not set when a visitor comes to the site for the very first time (no parameters are set).

Thanks much for any help anyone can provide.

Hi,

AFAIK it will work with option=...

Try to insert this directly after your body-tag in your template and call the site just with the domain. "Test" should appear.

<?php if ($option=="com_frontpage") echo "test"; ?>

It works, thank you. I probably should have tried that first before posting this message :} Thanks again.

Hello all,

I spoke too soon. $option does in fact equal "com_frontpage" when I check it in the index.php template file. But when I check $option in the content.html.php program it equals "1" for all pages (I displayed it). What's more strange is that the inside page URL depicts "option=content". So just checking for $option=="com_frontpage" in content.html.php is not working. Any other thoughts?

Thanks in advance for your help.

Try this one:

PHP Code:

  <?php

if ($_REQUEST["option"] == "com_frontpage") {

    echo "foo";

}

?>
