   Hi there. I think I may be missing something and this may be super simple. Is there a built in function to detect whether the user is at a permalink page versus the posts page?

   Thanks.

   Your question is not at all clear. How are you defining "permalink page" and "posts page"?

   Hello.

   By permalink page I mean when the user clicks through to the full article...

   http://www.url.com/category/post

   from the post list page.....

   http://www.url.com

   I am trying to detect when someone is at the full article and get the postid from the article displayed.

   I hope that makes sense.

   Yes

   What you are looking for are called WordPress conditionals.

   The full article is called the Single Post page, and the conditional is
   if ( is_single() )

   You can also insert a post ID or slug between the is_single inner parentheses. The default is the current post.
