Thank you that worked perfectly Try something like: <?php $menu = &JMenu::getInstance(); if ($menu->getActive() == $menu->getDefault()) {   // The default menu item is the active one .... otherwise said, we are on the front page of the site } Something like that should get it done. Louis

Thanks  for the help. This does not work as well because there is not always a request or "view" is not set. Unless I am missing something <?php if (JRequest::getVar('view') === 'frontpage') { echo 'This is the front page'; } ?> here is what I did for now I created a custom module position and ...

so without checking $_GET(), how do I find out if I am on the home page? I need to have code execute only on home page... any ideas

Thank you
