Displaying Module once search has been actioned

Hi there,
We are developing a site and we have installed small module that allows users to use a drop down menu to select which section and category they would like to view articles from.

We want to show the 'Latest Cars' Module on the right hand side only on the front page.
Once a user has used the drop down menus, we do not want the 'Latest Cars' module to appear.

I have used the code:
if ( $core_genius->check( "pagetype = frontpage" ) ) return 81;

This does not work and I am unsure what I should change it to.

You can see our demo site at:
http://www.s217794495.websitehome.co.uk … arCompany/

We are using the main joomla front page comp as the home page.

Kindest Regards,
Sean R.

Not to worry, I worked it out and used the code:

$menu =& JSite::getMenu();
if ($menu->getActive() == $menu->getDefault()) return XXX;

Re: Displaying Module once search has been actioned

Hmmm... not sure why the original one didn't work. Had you changed the default menu on your site to something other than the "frontpage" type? The JomGenius check for "pagetype = frontpage" specifically looks for the "frontpage" component, *not* simply "the default menu item (whatever that happens to be)".

Anyway, glad you got it working.

Best regards,
Stephen
