How to determine if the user is viewing the front page

admin@virginsoft.net (Administrator) — Mon, 23 Jan 2012 06:08:45 GMT

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

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';
}
?>

Joomla 1.6 and 1.7

The same code that worked in Joomla 1.5 will work in 1.6 onwards. However, since PHP 5 is now a minimum requirement for Joomla 1.6 the ampersand (&) is no longer required on the first line. Use the following code for a site where all content is in the same language:

<?php
$menu = JSite::getMenu();
if ($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
$menu = JSite::getMenu();
if ($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 $menu = JSite::getMenu(); ?>
<?php $lang = JFactory::getLanguage(); ?>
<?php if ($menu->getActive() == $menu->getDefault($lang->getTag())) : ?>

Joomla 1.7 language filter plugin break all ajax url

admin@virginsoft.net (Administrator) — Sun, 27 Nov 2011 11:54:11 GMT

A simple solution usable by all component is to add a variable in the url.

I decided to add &nosef=1 to prevent the redirection

and in the languagefilter.php line 174 added before

if (self::$mode_sef) {

this line

if ($uri->getVar('nosef') ) return $array;

now simple by adding &nosef=1 in my ajax url i have no more bug because 303 redirection

eg. index.php?option=com_ajaxchat&nosef=1....

Joomla 1.5 System Timezone Error Messages over php 5.3.x

admin@virginsoft.net (Administrator) — Tue, 05 Jul 2011 09:28:06 GMT

This is not a Joomla issue. This is a PHP change, not a Joomla change. PHP 5.3.0 needs the date.timezone ini entry setting properly in order to avoid the warning being sent out. Prior to PHP 5.3.0, the line existed in the PHP ini but was generally commented out. Let php know what your time zone is. You can edit your php.ini file and put in the following line:

date.timezone = “Asia/Calcutta”

if you don’t have php.ini file access then we have alternate solution

1.Open the file libraries/joomla/utilities/date.php

2.Find the line

function __construct($date = ‘now’, $tzOffset = 0)

which is the function definition
3.At the very beginning of the function definition, insert the code

date_default_timezone_set (“yourTimeZone”);

4.You can find the list of time zones by searching google. In my case the time zone was “Asia/Calcutta”

In joomla 1.6 $mainframe->addCustomHeadTag() will not work any more. Now you can use the addCutomTag()

$document =& JFactory::getDocument();

$document->addCustomTag('<script type="text/javascript"> Your code </script>');
