When articles of specific categories are displayed return module

Hi,

I'm working on a site in J 3.3 and am trying to use the free Metamod module. To achieve what I described in the subject, I added the following PHP:

if ( $content_genius->check("pagetype = article")
    and $content_genius->check("category_id = 8,9,13") ) return 128;

Unfortunately the menu is not displayed...

Any suggestions?

Best regards,
Paul

Re: When articles of specific categories are displayed return module

Hi,

basic checklist for you:

1 - MetaMod must be published and set to a valid module position
2 - try turning on debug mode in the MetaMod and ensure that you get some output on the page (just to show that it's assigned correctly)
3 - try using the following PHP in the MetaMod just to display some info about what type of page it's on:

echo "Pagetype: " . $content_genius->info("pagetype") . " -- cat id: " . $content_genius->info("category_id");

are you getting any info from the MetaMod when you have that on?

Also you could try this to ensure that the menu is shown when metamod imports it, though without the logic:

return 128;

(without all the other code; just use that)
