Hi,

I still need to write up a full recipe for this, but this will get you going:

$k2 = JomGenius("k2");
if ( ! $k2->check("pagetype = item.view")) return; // bypass if we are not on an item view page
$cat = $k2->info("category_id");
if ($cat == 1 ) return XXX;
if ($cat == 2 ) return YYY;
// replace XXX with module id to use for category 1
// replace YYY with module id to use for category 2
// and add as many more lines like this as you like...


Hope that helps,
Stephen

Hi,

in the example above, for cat 50 it will use module 719, not module 79. Is that what you intended?

Also, please read through the Quick Start guide to make sure you have everything set up properly:

http://www.metamodpro.com/metamod/quick-start

Also make sure that the MetaMod is published and set to display on some or all menu items - otherwise it won't work.

Best regards,
Stephen

1 - make sure MetaMod is published
2 - make sure MetaMod is assigned to some or all pages
3 - make sure MetaMod is assigned to a valid module position
4 - the "target module" (719) is best to be assigned to a fake module position (e.g. logo-metamod), and keep it published.

If you want to check which page you are on, and which K2 category you are on, you could try this at the beginning of your rule:

$k2 = JomGenius("k2");
echo "page type: " . $k2->info("pagetype") . "<br>";
echo "category id: " . $k2->info("category_id") . "<br>";

Then navigate to the pages that you want to target, and check that they are really the right page type and category id.

Hope that helps,
Stephen

Ok, that's progress:

with (2) you say that you don't want it on all pages. But even though you assign the MetaMod to all pages, the target module (719) will only appear on the specific pages that you want it to (item pages in category 50).

So is that part working?

I suspect that you are noticing that a "blank" module appears on all the other pages that the MetaMod is assigned to, even when it's not the item pages in cat 50. Is that correct?

If that's correct, then the easiest way to get around it is to use the Pro version. In Pro, the MetaMod completely disappears and even allows the module position to collapse when the MetaMod does not include any other module.

Cheers,
Stephen

p.s. happy to help you get this set up, but at the moment I think it's probably a basic thing like I explained above.

Try creating a new MetaMod, assign to all pages, and use the following PHP:


$k2 = JomGenius("k2");
echo "page type: " . $k2->info("pagetype") . "<br>";
echo "category id: " . $k2->info("category_id") . "<br>";


Then look at the pages that you are trying to target. What page type does it say they are? What category id does it say? Are these the ones you are trying to target? And when you are on a category page what does it say?
