If you are writing code for a plugin or module,
you can do like this:

Code:

$option = JRequest::getVar('option', '');
$view = JRequest::getVar('view', '');

//DETECT inside category view
if ($option=='com_flexicontent' && $view=='category') {
...
}

//DETECT inside items view
if (
     ($option=='com_flexicontent' || $option=='com_content')
     && ($view=='items' || $view=='article')
   ) {
...
}

I included code for 'com_content' and 'article' because 1.5.6 beta will set option and view to 'com_content' and 'article', when calling content plugins for better compatibility, and then restore them ...
