if i take the same article and click it from the front page vs. a multicatigories blog page, the urls look like this:

front page (jomcomment appears):
http://www.zhongwenmovies.com/index.php … =57:movies

multicategories blog view(jomcomment does NOT appear):
http://www.zhongwenmovies.com/index.php … Itemid=111

same article

front page w/advanced debug:

basically i need jomcomment to appear on all pages in which multicategories component is used. the category ids include : 65, 66, 67....and many more. maybe it would be easier to do it based off the menu type. i don't know.

thank you very much!

Ok, that's great info, thanks.

From that we can see that when you click on something from the front page, it goes to a component called com_multicategories. Now JomGenius doesn't know anything about com_multicategories, so it can't calculate the category id. However from what you have posted we see that it's easy to get the catid from JRequest.

I'm not sure how this is going to fit into your current rules (perhaps you could post them?), but here's how you could identify the category id no matter if the page was reached through multicategories or normal:

$catid = 0;
if ($option == "com_multicategories") $catid = JRequest::getInt("catid");
if ($option == "com_content") $catid = $content_genius->info("category_id");
if ($catid == 57) return "27,93,83,125";

I think this will do it:

$catid = 0;
if ($option == "com_multicategories") $catid = JRequest::getInt("catid");
if ($option == "com_content") $catid = $content_genius->info("category_id");
if ($catid == 68) return "27, 93, 83, 116";
if ($catid == 51) return "27, 93, 83, 118";
if ($catid == 57) return "27, 93, 83, 125";


I think that the jomcomment module was not appearing on the blog view because it was the multicategories component, which was/is putting "option=com_multicategories" into the URL. The code above should be able to detect that and set the $catid regardless.

Hope that helps...

I feel we're going back and forth on this again... it's really hard to keep track of what code you have tried and exactly what your requirements are for each page. Could you confirm if my login on your site still works, and I'll log in and take a look?

Sorry bout this,
Stephen
