Removing the breadcrumb from frontpage

Question

I'd like to remove the breadcrumb from the frontpage and haven't been able to find a solution in the configuration settings of the theme or custom breadcrumbs. So I am thinking of modifying the page.tpl.php

Do you see a problem with this?

Replace:

<?php print $breadcrumb; ?>

With:

<?php if ($_GET["q"] == variable_get("site_frontpage",
"node")){}
else if ($breadcrumb) {print $breadcrumb;} ?>

Answer 1

You don't have to do it the hard way. There is a variable (bool) $is_front that you can use in this case.

<?php if (!$is_front && $breadcrumb) {
  print $breadcrumb;
}
?>
