event observer for magento FRONTEND

i am trying to catch an event that works in frontend scope only , but the event i am observing for this purpose

"controller_front_init_routers"

only works under global scope not the frontend. i have tried to find one by printing (inside Mage.php dispatchEvent method) each dispatched event name when page loads but none of those events worked under the frontend scope. i need an event that get activated when the frontend page loads. please advise.

thanks,

To have an event more modulable and more efficient for your task I suggest to use this event :

controller_action_layout_generate_blocks_after

In your function you can do something more precise thanks to :

public function yourEvent($event) {
$controller = $event->getAction();
$action = $event->getFullActionName();
if ($action == 'catalog_product_view') //DO SOMETHING SPECIFIC TO PRODUCT PAGE
elseif ($action == 'catalog_category_view') //DO SOMETHING SPECIFIC TO CATEGORY
...
