How can I check if the current page is a taxonomy term page, similarly to what done with the following code used to check if the current page is the front page?

if (drupal_is_front_page()) {
  // The current page is the front page.
}
else {
  // It is not the front page.
}

Just to offer a solution that doesn't make use of arg() (which it's advised to avoid where possible according to the docs page)

You can use the menu_get_object() function:

$term = menu_get_object('taxonomy_term', 2);
if ($term) {
  // User is on a taxonomy term page
}

    I guess above code also get executed in taxonomy/term/id/edit & feed pages too !! We may need to check for third argument ?

    @AnilSagar Holy moly you're right :P I'm really not sure what the accepted way to do this is then, assuming I haven't made up that bit about arg() being less readable

  • How about popping a little && !path_is_admin(current_path()) in the if statement? I've not checked it yet, but term edit paths are admin pages, no :)

    @Chapabu You should trademark that ;)

    Caution: Enabling Views replaces the taxonomy term loader, causing menu_get_object('taxonomy_term', 2); to not work anymore. See: drupal.org/node/1468006 and api.drupal.org/comment/45018#comment-45018

<?php

if (arg(0) ==  "taxonomy" && arg(1) == "term" && is_numeric(arg(2)) && arg(3) == "") {
  // Taxonomy term page
}

?>

<?php if (arg(0) == 'taxonomy' && arg(1) == 'term' && arg(2)): ?> should do the trick.

In case edit/feed (and possibly some other related pages) should be excluded you can use: <?php if (arg(0) == 'taxonomy' && arg(1) == 'term' && arg(2) && !arg(3)): ?>

  • That will also return true for taxonomy/term/123/edit which I'm not sure the OP wants.

    Yeah he didn't say what he is aiming for precisely, but I've updated my answer to address that concern.
