Stephen
you are awesome! following the direction you provided, I was able to see what the proper code would be to have the module on all pages in the store except the checkout.

for anyone else who is looking for this functionality, here's what I did with mine:

if (
$option == 'com_aceshop'
and $Itemid == '112'
and JRequest::getVar('route') != 'checkout/cart'
) return XXX;

thanks for making this incredible and valuable module system!

I'm hoping this can help me.

I'm using joocart (opencart) and similar to the above person I'd like modules (initially mod 196) to appear throughout a very small shop but not within the checkout process.

the advanced debug is giving me this.

if (
$option == 'com_opencart'
and $view == 'home'
and $Itemid == '139'
and $jinput->get('route') == NULL /*!*/
) return XXX; /* replace XXX with the module ID or position to display */

any help would be great, i'm not a php expert

this is the debug for a product page

if (
$option == 'com_opencart'
and $Itemid == '139'
and $jinput->get('product_id') == '53' /*!*/
and $jinput->get('route') == 'productproduct' /*!*/
) return XXX; /* replace XXX with the module ID or position to display */

MetaMod debug info:
Module ID: 196
$option: com_opencart
$view:
$id:
$Itemid: 139
$timezone: UTC
$language: en-us
$language_code: en
$language_region: us
Including modules: None


This is the debug throughout the checkout process, its a serious of drop downs (then refers to the merchant account)

if (
$option == 'com_opencart'
and $Itemid == '139'
and $jinput->get('route') == 'checkoutcart' /*!*/
) return XXX; /* replace XXX with the module ID or position to display */


MetaMod debug info:
Module ID: 196
$option: com_opencart
$view:
$id:
$Itemid: 139
$timezone: UTC
$language: en-us
$language_code: en
$language_region: us
Including modules: None

Okay, I'm trying to display module 197 in the shop items and throughout but I dont want it to appear during checkout.

I'm not sure how I set this up.

I have created a metamod module and placed the code above into the php area, published it. I havent attached it to any pages.
Module 197 is published also and attached to the SHOP menu item.

I am using joomla 2.5
metamodpro 1.6 -2.5
i am a total mod novice
