For security reason, you may want to remove generator META in your joomla project :

for this you can simply add this line :

 $this->setGenerator(''); 

in the top of your ‘index.php’ template file.

Hello,

today I’ll show you an elegant way to check if we are in the home page of our Joomla project :

 $IsHomePage =  false;
$menu = &JSite::getMenu();
if( $menu->_default == $menu->_active)
{
	$IsHomePage = true;
}

it’s specialy helpfull for intergators (templates).
