Check For Home Url

Yii 1.1 General Discussion

How to check if url request is the home url in any case?

(www.domain.com or www.domain.com/defaultcontroller/defaultaction)

I want to load a library only on home url but not into default Controller/Action.

The loading must become inside of default layout

The only way I found is to set a property in default controller and set to true when default action invoked, and check in layout if it is true.

Any other well-structured approach?

Thanks.

In layout, you can echo $this->id and $this->action->id and see what they return :)

Also you can compare them with defaultController and defaultAction:

For defalut controller ok. According tou your post I found the Yii::app()->defaultController (returns a string)

but what about default action of default controller? the second link you posted is about an instance of controller (and not of no-nessessary implemented controller)

A little bit help please? :)

There are two posts. See the first one first :)

To get the default action, you should use




$this->defaultAction;

You can use the current controller because you’re only going to compare action ID’s if you’ve already confirmed that the controller ID is correct.




$isDefault = $this->id === Yii::app()->defaultController 

          && $this->action->id === $this->defaultAction;

For answer your question "Any other well-structured approach?", yes, set properties in the controller and check in the layout is a standard procedure.

You better set this properties in a masterclass for controller (like protected/components/controller) in order to be sure that the properties will exist in all controllers that uses the layout.

Thanks all of you :)

This extension might come in handy as well.
