Check if viewing a Views page

Question

How do I check if the page I'm viewing is a Views page? I want the breadcrumbs to be hidden if the user is viewing the view page I made, which I named "Products."

I am using Drupal 7 and Views 7.x-3.0-beta3.

Answer 1

Following Jeremy French reply, I must say that you can do it like this :

if(function_exists('views_get_page_view') && views_get_page_view()){...YOUR CODE HERE...}

Taken from here:

views_get_page_view() finds out what, if any, page view is currently in use. If it returns NULL, then the current page is not a views' page.

Quick and dirty would be to use CSS - take the class Drupal assigns to the views page and then do something like:

.drupal-views-page-class .breadcrumb-container {display:none}

Of course, you need to use your actual class names.

For d6 site the following trick might work.

/**
 * Implementation of hook_views_pre_render()
 */
function mymodule_views_pre_render($view) {
  if ($view->name === 'my_products_view') {
    drupal_set_breadcrumb();
  }
}

I have some code that shouldn't be displayed on certain content types. There's an easy approach for this:

<?php if (!empty($node) && (($node->type != 'article') && ($node->type != 'webform'))): ?>
     This content is shown everywhere except on articles and webforms. Yet it doesn't show up on views pages either while it should.
<?php endif; ?>

But it occured to me that it would hide this content for views pages as well (because the node is empty there: (!empty($node)).

My workaround for this is:

<?php
    if(function_exists('views_get_page_view') && views_get_page_view()){
      $viewspage = "yes";
    }
  ?>
<?php if (((!empty($node)) || (!empty($viewspage))) && (($node->type != 'article') && ($node->type != 'webform'))): ?>
     This content is shown everywhere except on articles and webforms. It does show up on the other content types ànd the views pages. So it's ok.
<?php endif; ?>

This is working, but I wondered if this is the right approach. It looks a bit like a kindergarten-method.

For me the following works in hook_preprocess_page() and in hook_preprocess_html() as well:

function MYMODULE_preprocess_page(&$vars) {
  $view = (array)views_get_page_view();
  if (!empty($view)) {
    // do stuff
  }
}
