You were very, very close!

$vm = JomGenius("virtuemart");
if ( $vm->check("pagetype = shop.browse, shop.product_details") ) {
  if ( $vm->check( "category_id = 10, 11, 12") and $language_code == 'nl' ) return 128; /* module 128 for category 10, 11 and 12 and language NL*/
}


If you want to check for more than 1 value inside the "check" method, then you just list all the values with a comma (and spaces if you want, it doesn't matter) between them. The check will succeed if any one of the values is matched. (so it's an "or").

You can actually put all the checks into 1 "if" statement in this case:

$vm = JomGenius("virtuemart");
if ( $vm->check("pagetype = shop.browse, shop.product_details")
  and $vm->check( "category_id = 10, 11, 12" )
  and $language_code == 'nl' ) return 128;


Hope that makes sense,

Hi Jodi,

good question, and well presented.

When you list more than one item in JomGenius, there's an implicit "any of" in front of the list.

e.g.
$vm->check( "pagetype not = any of account.billing, account.index, account.order_details, account.orders, account.shipping, account.shipto, shop.browse, checkout.index#1, checkout.index#2, checkout.index#3, checkout.index#4, checkout.thankyou" )

What JomGenius does is then checks each of the items in turn against the value from the left hand side (pagetype in this case). If any one of them matches the condition, then the complete rule returns as TRUE.

This is fine for normal "=" matching (if 1st or 2nd or 3rd... then return true). But it doesn't work the way you think when you do a "not =". It does "if !1st or !2nd or !3rd" etc. So in fact the rule can never return true, because the value is always "not equal" to at least 1 of the items.

So there are 2 ways to do it:

Choose one of:

$vm->check( "pagetype = none of account.billing, account.index, account.order_details, account.orders, account.shipping, account.shipto, shop.browse, checkout.index#1, checkout.index#2, checkout.index#3, checkout.index#4, checkout.thankyou" )

[i.e. checks through every value, and returns TRUE if none of them match]

or:

$vm->check( "pagetype not = all of account.billing, account.index, account.order_details, account.orders, account.shipping, account.shipto, shop.browse, checkout.index#1, checkout.index#2, checkout.index#3, checkout.index#4, checkout.thankyou" )

[i.e. checks through every value, and returns TRUE if every one of them doesn't match]

Hope that helps,
Stephen
