Hi LTJ,

have you turned on MetaMod Debug mode to see if that gives any clues? This should give some output on every front-end page on which the MetaMod is assigned. So, if you don't see any debug output, then either the MetaMod isn't enabled, or is not published to any pages. Once you see some output, then hopefully that will let you know why it isn't including any modules.

Hope that helps,
Stephen

well, it says that it's including module id 3. So can you check that you have a module with id 3, and that it's really the one that you want? To test, try returning a different module ID from your PHP code, taken from the list of modules that appears above the PHP box. Do any of the others appear correctly?

This works perfectly on my local server, but cannot get it working on the live site.

Hi Stephen,

No, the local server has different content, modules and components although it is the same template.
On the local server I used 0 as the default module and it worked perfectly.
I tried this on the site and got this in the debug output:

if (
$option == 'com_content'
and $view == 'article'
and $id == '1321'
and JRequest::getVar('catid') == '3'
and JRequest::getVar('url') == NULL /*!*/
and JRequest::getVar('layout') == 'default' /*!*/
and JRequest::getVar('lang') == 'en'
) return XXX; /* replace XXX with the module ID or position to display */

MetaMod debug info:
$option: com_content
$view: article
$id: 1321
$Itemid: 0
$timezone: default
$language: en-us
$language_code: en
$language_region: us
Ignoring module position "right". A MetaMod cannot include the same module position that it is in.

This is weird as I don't have a category id 3 in the PHP code and neither am I using a right module position.

Hi Stephen,

The problem is that I did not use category 3 in the PHP code.

I have not included anything in the QuickModule ID.

These are the two PHP variations I have used:

if ($category_id == 30) return 291;
return 327; /* default if nothing else matches */

This shows module 327 on every page on the site.

Debug:
if (
$option == 'com_content'
and $view == 'article'
and $id == '1394'
and JRequest::getVar('catid') == '3'
and JRequest::getVar('url') == NULL /*!*/
and JRequest::getVar('layout') == 'default' /*!*/
and JRequest::getVar('lang') == 'en'
) return XXX; /* replace XXX with the module ID or position to display */

MetaMod debug info:
$option: com_content
$view: article
$id: 1394
$Itemid: 0
$timezone: default
$language: en-us
$language_code: en
$language_region: us
Including modules: 327

I then tried this code which worked perfectly on my local server:

if ($category_id == 30) return 291;
return 0; /* default if nothing else matches */

Nothing displays on any category.

Debug:

if (
$option == 'com_content'
and $view == 'article'
and $id == '1321'
and JRequest::getVar('catid') == '3'
and JRequest::getVar('url') == NULL /*!*/
and JRequest::getVar('layout') == 'default' /*!*/
and JRequest::getVar('lang') == 'en'
) return XXX; /* replace XXX with the module ID or position to display */

MetaMod debug info:
$option: com_content
$view: article
$id: 1321
$Itemid: 0
$timezone: default
$language: en-us
$language_code: en
$language_region: us

I'm beginning to think there is a conflict with another component, is this possible?

Thanks for the support.
