Recipes for FJRelated

Maybe it is not a difficult problem, I don't know. smile

The URL contains the following line part:

index.php?option=com_fjrelated&view=fjrelated&layout=blog&id=0&Itemid=61

For me it would be okay if I can assign a menu to every article that has  com_fjrelated as part of the URL, so that it is not dependent on any other parameter. That sounds quiet easy, but I don't know if it is easy to translate into code.

Thanks in advance!

Note: "FJ Related" is a great component found for making blog or list-style pages of articles related by certain keywords. You can find it at  http://extensions.joomla.org/extensions … 26/details

Re: Recipes for FJRelated

In this case I'd use the rule:

Code:

if ($option == "com_fjrelated") return 101; /* customise module ID */

Re: Recipes for FJRelated

Hi Stephen,

One small question. If I would like to assign menus to a specific article, so a specific Itemid, which php variable should I use then for that id? Should it look something like:

Code:

if ($option == "com_fjrelated") 

    if ($id == "62") return 52;

    if ($id == "67") return 57;

return;

Regards,
hinsert

Re: Recipes for FJRelated

Close! Try it this way:

Code:

if ($option == "com_fjrelated") {

    if ($id == "62") return 52;

    if ($id == "67") return 57;

}

This only works because MetaMod automatically fills in $option and $id for you. (It also fills in some others; see the bottom of this page for the full list: http://www.metamodpro.com/get-started/configuration )

If there are other values that you want to get from the URL (or more correctly from the underlying URL, because SEF URLs can hide these from the user), then you would get them this way:

Code:

 $val = JRequest::getVar("special_id");

... where there was a parameter called 'special_id' in the URL.

Cheers,
Stephen
