Check if we're on the main board page

[DawPi]

Hello,

can we check if we're on the default page (for example with changed default app)?

 

Thanks in advance!

These work for me:

Default app:

$defaultApp = \IPS\Application::load(\IPS\Request::i()->app)->default;

Default module:

$defaultModule = \IPS\Application\Module::get(\IPS\Request::i()->app, \IPS\Request::i()->module)->default;

Hm, load app info every page check isn't much efficient. Maybe someone else has better idea.

But thanks for sharing it!

a possible solution is to check the data in the \IPS\Request::i()->url() method.

if it is the default app on the "homepage", then ->path should be empty:

IPS\Http\Url\Friendly Object
(
    [url:protected] => https://dev.codingjungle.com/
    [data] => Array
        (
            [scheme] => https
            [host] => dev.codingjungle.com
            [port] => 
            [user] => 
            [pass] => 
            [path] => /
            [query] => 
            [fragment] => 
        )

    [queryString] => Array
        (
        )

    [hiddenQueryString] => Array
        (
            [app] => stratagem
            [module] => view
            [controller] => projects
        )

    [seoPagination] => 
    [base] => front
    [seoTemplate] => stratagem
    [seoTitles] => Array
        (
        )

    [friendlyUrlComponent] => 
)

otherwise it will be populated with the path from the furl:

IPS\Http\Url\Friendly Object
(
    [url:protected] => https://dev.codingjungle.com/stratagem
    [data] => Array
        (
            [scheme] => https
            [host] => dev.codingjungle.com
            [port] => 
            [user] => 
            [pass] => 
            [path] => /stratagem
            [query] => 
            [fragment] => 
        )

    [queryString] => Array
        (
        )

    [hiddenQueryString] => Array
        (
            [app] => stratagem
            [module] => view
            [controller] => projects
        )

    [seoPagination] => 
    [base] => front
    [seoTemplate] => stratagem
    [seoTitles] => Array
        (
        )

    [friendlyUrlComponent] => stratagem
)

there might be a caveat to this, as i haven't fully tested this. it was something off the top of my head.

btw this could be a good method too, as applications and modules get cached, so it shouldn't cost anything noticeable in loads, well nothing more than most servers can afford to use.

plus \IPS\Dispatcher already loads these values:

$app = null;
$module = null;
if(\IPS\Dispatcher::hasInstance()){
	$dispatcher = \IPS\Dispatcher::i();
	$app = $dispatcher->application;
	$module = $dispatcher->module;
}

if($app !== null && $app->default && $module->default){
	//if we are here, we on the default app/module, lets do our thing
}

}

 

That should be best solution for me. Thanks!

For what it's worth, the current application and module is already loaded by the dispatcher (as mentioned by CodingJungle), so it won't reload it - it would just use the existing data already in memory.

Additionally, applications and modules are cached in the data store so loading them on the fly should have very little effect on performance.

Thanks, I didn't know about it.
