Hi BlazedStars,

can I please ask you to give some more details?

"All the VirtueMart Categories" -- do you mean only on the category listing pages? Or also on individual products irrespective of category?
"entire browse pages" -- ?? I'm not sure what you mean.

And do you want these 2 rules combined, or as separate rules (separate MetaMods)?

If you can give some example URLs (especially with SEF turned off) then they help a lot in order to see what you mean.

Thanks,
Stephen

Sorry if this is a dumb question... I should probably know the answer... what's the difference between a browse page and a category list page? Aren't they the same thing?

So without SEF URLs turned on, I get the following example URLs on my test site that I think are the ones that you want to see the module on. Can you confirm these?

Front shop page, when the VM component is assigned to a menu:
index.php?option=com_virtuemart&Itemid=83

Category list page:
index.php?option=com_virtuemart&page=shop.browse&category_id=1&Itemid=74

Browse page (List All Products??):
index.php?page=shop.browse&category=&option=com_virtuemart&Itemid=74

Product detail page:
index.php?page=shop.product_details&flypage=flypage.tpl&product_id=8&category_id=2&option=com_virtuemart&Itemid=74


If my assumptions are accurate, then I would use the following recipe to target these pages only:

if ($option == "com_virtuemart") {
  $page = JRequest::getVar("page");
  $category_id = JRequest::getVar("category_id");
  $category = JRequest::getVar("category");

  if ( $page == null /* front page */
    or $page == "shop.browse" /* covers browse and category pages */
    or $page == "shop.product_details") {   /* details page */
      return 49;
    }
}


Hope that helps... write back if it needs any tweaking.

Cheers,
Stephen

Hi yo0505,

like BlazedStars, I need to ask you to write down exactly what you want to happen. It's not clear from you post if what you are describing is how things are *now*, or how you *want* them to be.

The more precise you can be, the better! There are so many possibilities...

Thanks,
Stephen

Hi Tyv,

the first problem you have is that the MetaMod is set to "menus: none". The MetaMod itself has to be assigned to some page(s), or else Joomla will never run your code. So assign the MetaMod either to "all" pages, or just to the menu item you have set up for Virtuemart.

You're right to set your "included module" to "menus:none" though.

You asked "do I need same in index.php". Well, you need that module position to exist in your template, definitely. But you don't need to edit any code in the template.

Your PHP code looks fine, though you don't actually need your 3rd line ($category = JRequest...) because you're not using $category anywhere.

Hope that helps,
Stephen

Thanks for helping me out. The code you previously gave me works like a charm. The only thing that I find, that is not working is the frontpage modules are not displaying as they should. Every other page displays the module after adding the code to metamod, except the frontpage. Can you help me out once again? I've sent you the link to my website. Please check your private messages. Thanks and Happy Holidays!
