Question

so what function i need to use to check if the page is main

Answer 1

you can get the current controller and action name with following code,

$controller = $this->getRequest()->getControllerName();
$action = $this->getRequest()->getActionName();

for main page you can put condition where controller is "index" and action is "index" you code should execute or not to execute thats alll..............

If you are not in controller user

Zend_Controller_Front::getInstance()->getRequest()->getControllerName();
Zend_Controller_Front::getInstance()->getRequest()->getActionName();
