check the current page

[Madamko]

Hello,

How can I check if user has open list of articles or concrete article?
(user can click on Articles in main menu and then choose from one of several articles on my web)

Should I check current url? Or is there any other more elegant way? For example any vbulletin variables?

for example :
list of articles (previews) has url: name_of_my_forum/articles
or: name_of_my_forum/articles/category

concrete article: name_of_my_forum/articles/category/1-test-article

Thanks in advance.

From where would you like to check? For what purpose?

I guess template would be best option.
I have absolutely another design for cms sections of my web. That's why I need to change unique identificators of elements. After that I would be able to write custom css for articles section.

I found out that "previews" and concrete article have almost same structure. And all changes of article mixed up my article preview list. That was my problem :) And that's why I need to distinguish somehow these pages.

After a quick look, I didn't see anything. Looks like using the URL might be your best bet.
