I am wondering if I have not explained this very well...

When using the VMF filtering, there are a multitude of combinations in the final url. The user is able to select multiple virtuemart categories..

I need the module to appear on the specific virtuemart categories shown in my first post, whether only 1 of them is selected or multiples..

To help explain I have temporarily made the site live and at the following address you can see the metamod with the VMF filter & the debug in the left module position.

Hi Stephen,

Thank you for your reply, I have used the recipe as you have laid out above but the module does not show on the results pages.

Whilst playing with this I came up with this recipe:

if ( $option == 'com_vmfiltering' and $view == 'Vmf' ) {
$category_id = JRequest::getVar('vm_cat');
if ( $category_id == array ( 0 => '1', )|array ( 0 => '10', )) return 59;

}


Which does show the module on the results, but it shows it for ALL the vm categories - obviously I don't know what I am doing, just trying to get it to work.

Thank you very much for this, I have now put your above recipe in and also the below for the next filter module..

Only trouble now is that both show up on the results page, any ideas?

if (
  $option == 'com_vmfiltering'
  and $view == 'Vmf'
  and JRequest::getVar('task') == 'search' ) {

    $allcats = array( 2, 14, 90, 91, 92, 93, 94, 15, 95, 96, 97, 16, 98, 99, 100, 17, 101, 102, 103, 18);

    $vm_cat = JRequest::getVar('vm_cat');
    $vm_man = JRequest::getVar('vm_mnuf');
    if ( is_array( $vm_cat ) ) {
      foreach ($vm_cat as $cat ) {
        if ( in_array( $cat, $allcats ) )  return 75;
      }
    }
    // check for manufacturers
    if ( is_array($vm_man) and count($vm_man) > 0 ) return 75;
}


thank you kindly!

Hi, It is that both 59 and 75 are showing up.

I would like the manufacturers to appear in the when the search results are for the specific category entered.

But each Manufacturer is in each category. SO is it possible to show only the one module when the other module are not shown, even though they have the same result in the URL.

For example, the metamodmodule is number 59 and is returned when categories 1, 10, 66, 67, 68, 69, 70, 71, 73, 75, 76, 11, 77, 78, 79, 80, 81, 82, 83, 84, 86, 12, 87, 88, 89, 13 are in the URL

but NOT shown if none of the above categories are in the url? even if the Manufacturers are?

Manufacturer IDs are 1,2,3,4,5,6

Many thanks, Tess.
