Hi Coco,

you're on the right track; just need a few adjustments.

1 - you don't get immediate access to all variables in the URL, except the major ones of $option, $view and $Itemid. So you would rewrite your rule above as:

if ( $option == "com_jsjobs"
  and JRequest::getVar("c") == "jsjobs"
  and $view == "jobseeker"
  and JRequest::getVar("layout") == "job_searchresults"
  and $Itemid == 1 ) return 47;

2 - to negate it, you would change all the "==" to "!=", and all the "and" to "or".

e.g.

if ( $option != "com_jsjobs"
  or JRequest::getVar("c") != "jsjobs"
  or $view != "jobseeker"
  or JRequest::getVar("layout") != "job_searchresults"
  or $Itemid != 1 ) return 47;

Alternatively, you can just use an "else" statement with the original:

if ( $option == "com_jsjobs"
  and JRequest::getVar("c") == "jsjobs"
  and $view == "jobseeker"
  and JRequest::getVar("layout") == "job_searchresults"
  and $Itemid == 1 ) return; // note: no module ID returned
else return 47; // so if the above DIDN'T match, then 47 is used.

Hope that helps,
Stephen

try turning on advanced debug mode in MetaMod, then view the page you are targeting, and take a look at the PHP code it produces. Perhaps paste it here for me to have a look at...

Cheers,

Ok, thanks for those - they make things a lot easier.

Looking at your second one, I think we can strip out some of the options there, and negate it:

if ( ! (
   $option == 'com_jsjobs'
   and $view == 'jobseeker'
   and JRequest::getVar('layout') == 'job_searchresults'
   and JRequest::getVar('c') == 'jsjobs'
) ) return XXX; /* replace XXX with the module ID or position to display */

Now that's starting to look very much like the original one... but that's ok - you confirmed that much from the debug output.

don't forget a few other things:

1 - don't put anything in the "quick module id include" box if you're using a PHP rule like this.
2 - make sure that the target module is disabled. MetaMod will auto-enable it when it includes it (there's an option for that in MetaMod)

Hope that helps,
Stephen

Hi zbabyface,

sorry for the delayed reply. Can you turn on MetaMod Advanced Debug mode, and post the output of the MetaMod when you are viewing the register.html page? There will be information from there that will make it easier to design a rule.

Cheers,
Stephen
