different number of categories depending on page

[macmiller]

There is a config item: Number of levels of categories to display which indicates the depth of categories to display.  I would like to modify the behavior slightly, on the initial 'front page' index.php I would like to have one level of categories displayed and on other 'drill down' pages a different level.  (ie. on index.php say the level is 1 and in index.php?cat=xx say the level is 4).

Is there a way to tell from within the script index.php whether or not we are on the front page (index.php) or on another page?  Any suggestions on the easiest way to accomplish this mod?

Open index.php, find

Code Select Expand

if ($superCage->get->keyExists('cat')) {
    $cat = $superCage->get->getInt('cat');
}
and below, add

Code Select Expand

$CONFIG['subcat_level'] = $cat ? 4 : 1;
