Getting the front name of a route programmatically

Use the ollowing code to get a routes front name:

// will display "config"
$frontName = (string)Mage::getConfig()->getNode('frontend/routers/whatever/args/frontName');

1 2	// will display "config" $frontName = (string)Mage::getConfig()->getNode('frontend/routers/whatever/args/frontName');

The code will return “config”, if you add the following XML to your modules config.xml:

<frontend>
        <routers>
            <whatever>
                <use>standard</use>
                <args>
                    <module>Company_Module</module>
                    <frontName>config</frontName>
                </args>
            </whatever>
        </routers>
</frontend>

<use>standard</use>

<args>

<module>Company_Module</module>

<frontName>config</frontName>

</args>

</whatever>

</routers>

</frontend>
