Hi,

if the debug output above is from the front page, then it might be best to detect it from the URL parameters directly, like this:

$frontpage =  ( $option == "com_k2" and $view == "itemlist" and $Itemid == 102 and $id == 75 );
if ($frontpage ) return;// return with no module id
return XXX;

If you want to put in several things that it's not allowed to be, then you can put in extra lines with conditions that will return nothing, like this:


$frontpage =  ( $option == "com_k2" and $view == "itemlist" and $Itemid == 102 and $id == 75 );
if ($frontpage ) return;// return with no module id
if ($core_genius->check("pagetype = search")) return;
if ($content_genius->check("pagetype = article")) return;
return XXX;

In that way, if MetaMod can meet any of those conditions then it "short circuits" and returns with no modules selected. It will only include module "XXX" if it gets to the end of the list. Make sense?

Lastly, you were asking about how to do this with multiple modules.

If all the modules are in the same module position, then all you have to do is to return a list of the module ids, instead of just XXX.

e.g. the last line above would be:

return "XXX, YYY, ZZZ";


If the modules are in different module positions then you need to create a new MetaMod in each position, and repeat the rule in each (each one returning the relevant module id).

Trust that helps,
Stephen

Can you please post the rest of the debug output, and not including the PHP tags? It should give you a snippet of PHP code. Don't forget to set it to ADVANCED debug mode, not just standard debug.

Thanks,
Stephen

hi Stephen,

is this the right debug code above?

hello Stephen,

many thanks it works perfect:)

could please give me a example for the same on "Show modules on front page
but not on all other pages"

thanks in advance ;-)

Edit:

i'v added the following and it works also:

if (
  $option == 'com_community'
  and $view == 'frontpage'
  and $Itemid == '10'
) return 357; // i.e. show module id only on the front page
else return; // show module XXX on all other pages
// replace XXX with the module id of the module you want to display or set just return.
