Display Modules by author. Nothing seems to work.

I would like to display different modules based on the author of the article. I am using postnote template by gavick. I have tried both methods found here : http://www.metamodpro.com/metamod/recip … cle-author

Nothing seems to work at all. Here is the code :

if ( $content_genius->check("article_created_by = 64") return 178;

There is no specific error to report other then no matter what I try nothing seems to change anything on the frontend. Yes I enabled the module. Any ideas? Thanks

Re: Display Modules by author. Nothing seems to work.

Oh, you know what, I had a typo in the recipe sad  Sorry about that. It was missing a closing bracket.

Try this instead:

if ( $content_genius->check("article_created_by = 64") ) return 178;

Cheers,
Stephen

Re: Display Modules by author. Nothing seems to work.

Thanks for the response. However that did not work. After playing around a bit I have concluded that no matter what the settings nothing changes. Am I overlooking a small step that allows the module to function? Plugin activation or something similar?

Re: Display Modules by author. Nothing seems to work.

I should have mentioned that I am using K2. The articles are actually items. I suspect that may be the problem. Any suggestions. Thanks

Oh, right, K2. I haven't investigated K2 yet. Can you enable Advanced Debug mode in the MetaMod, then view the pages that you want to target, and paste the output of the debug mode into a forum post? That would help to create some code for you.

Re: Display Modules by author. Nothing seems to work.

Thanks for trying to help. I have switched to Advanced Module Manager. This allows me to do what I need and will work for the moment. I will continue to play around with metamod and see if I can get it to work with k2. It would be nice to automatically assign the modules based on author but for now I will have to do it manually. Thanks again.
