Hi,

I installed the Metamod pro in a joomla config running with multiple metamods within a yootheme template in the Top Panel, left, and Right mod positions. When I turn on the metamod plugin all my metamods dissapear. This happens both in Firefox and IE7. Turning off the plugin fixes the problem. Is there a quick fix or a change I need to do with the existing metamods to fix this?

Please let me know. Thanks!

Hi mgracia,

using MetaMod Pro can change the styling of your modules. Specifically, it takes all the styling back to exactly what it would have been if the module was placed directly onto the page, with no MetaMod or MetaMod Pro installed. This is intended to be a desirable thing! (i.e., too many people were having difficulties because MetaMod changed the styling of their modules, so MetaMod Pro takes modules back to standard styling again).

The up side of this is that you can style your modules as if MetaMod was not involved. The down side is that you can no longer use the controls in MetaMod (e.g. the module class suffix, or the Style for Included Modules) to do it.

Normal styling of modules is done by:

- altering the "style" attribute for the module position inside the template (this is analogous to using the "style for included modules" inside MetaMod, but applies to all modules inside the module position)
- altering the "css class suffix" inside any module (when using MetaMod Pro, do it inside the target module rather than the MetaMod)
- changing your template's CSS styles to affect the module(s) you want to target.

Cheers,
Stephen

Hi,

I followed the instructions above but when i create a new module (click on 'new' in module manager) i don't see any metmod option to select.

Thanks Stephen, metamod option is now visible.
