Hi Dorkus,

The first thing I noticed is that you need to put quotes around the name of the module position, e.g.

$vm = JomGenius("virtuemart");
if ( ! $vm->check("pagetype starts with checkout, cart") ) return "sidebar-1";

However your setup also needs some changes. I would suggest the following:

1 - keep the MetaMod in sidebar-1
2 - move all the other modules that were in sidebar-1 into a new (fake) position called sidebar-1-conditional. By doing this they won't show up in sidebar-1 until MetaMod includes them.
3 - edit the MetaMod recipe to this:

$vm = JomGenius("virtuemart");
if ( ! $vm->check("pagetype starts with checkout, cart") ) return "sidebar-1-conditional";

4 - ensure the MetaMod is published and assigned to some or all menu items (pages) as appropriate. In this case, probably ALL pages.

That should do it :-)

Hi,

the easiest way to fix it is to go Pro, but depending on your CSS setup on your template it may be possible. The most likely thing to work (if it does work) without going Pro is this:

- in the MetaMod, add a bogus module class suffix e.g. "foo"
- in the MetaMod, set the "Style for included modules" dropdown to the style of module in the module position you are using. If you don't know how to find this out, just try each of the options in turn.

What this does is to sometimes fool the CSS into not realising that the MetaMod is a module, because of the class suffix. This can sometimes then allow the CSS to detect the modules that MetaMod contains to be styled as modules.

If that works - great. Otherwise, going Pro is sure to fix it.
