Hi Nika,

Can I assume that you've read the setup guide on MetaMod Quick Start ?

Once you are sure that the basic setup is right, it's time to look at the rules in the PHP box.

There's only one thing wrong with the recipe that you quoted -- it doesn't know where to get the "product_id" variable from. So you just need to tell it to get that from the URL.

Try this:

if ($option == "com_virtuemart") { 

  $page = JRequest::getVar("page");

  if ($page == "shop.product_details") {

    $product_id = JRequest::getVar("product_id");

    if ($product_id == "4") return 99; 

  }

}

This recipe should then display module 99, but only on the product details page for product id 4.

Does that work for you? Write back if you're still having trouble with it.

Cheers,
Stephen

Hi Nika,

read the FAQ about White space issues where modules are turned off. This mostly happens in left and right columns where the template reserves space based on there being at least 1 published module in a module position - in this case, the MetaMod, even when it doesn't have anything in it.

The easiest and best solution is MetaMod Pro which completely gets rid of modules that don't appear, and works with any template without template modifications being necessary. It's really easy to install and to get the results that you want. But some other approaches are mentioned in that FAQ as well.

Hope that helps,
Stephen
