Hi,

Your PHP assumes the following things. Can you please check that they are correct?

- there's a table called felhf_easyblog_post
- this has a column called "catid" for the category id and a column called "id" for the post id
- when you are viewing a blog post, the internal URL has option=com_easyblog&view=categories&id=XXX  (that looks like it could be wrong... if you're doing a database query in the easyblog_post table, wouldn't the view be "article" or "post" or "item" or something like that, and not "categories"?)

Lastly, the variable names should not have a space between the "$" and the name. There are a number of extra spaces in your code that may be stopping it from working. Here's a copy of what you wrote without the spaces (it still may not work, but at least the spaces won't be the problem):

if ($option == "com_easyblog" and $view == "categories") {
   $catId = JRequest::getCmd('id', '0');
   if ($catId == 0 or JRequest::getVar("view") == "entry") {
    $blogId = JRequest::getVar('id');
     $query = "select catid from felhf_easyblog_post where id =". $blogid;
     $db->setQuery($ query);
     $catId = $db->loadResult ();
   }
}
if ($catId == 5) return 83;


hope that helps,
Stephen

Ok, try this:

if ($option == "com_easyblog" ) {
  $catid = 0;
  if ($view == "categories") $catid = (int)$id;
  else if ($view == "entry") {
    $query = "select category_id from #_ _easyblog_post where id =". (int)$id;
    $db->setQuery($query);
    $catid = $db->loadResult();
  }
  echo "It's in category: " . $catid . "<br  />";
  // now you can use $catid to check if user is viewing
  // anything in particular caategories. Replace XXX and
  // YYY with module ids to return for their respective
  // category ids.
  if ($catid == 1) return XXX;
  if ($catid == 2) return YYY;
}


NOTE: remove the space from this part of the PHP before using:
#_ _easyblog_post


Cheers,
Stephen

Just a note about the "#_ _" thing: just use the code above but remove the space between the underscores. Joomla is smart enough to convert that to the proper database prefix for your site.

Cheers,

ok, that's really easy to do without even doing a database lookup:

if ($option == "com_easyblog" and $view == "entry") {
  if ((int)$id == 68) return XXX;
  if ((int)$id == 69) return YYY;
  if ((int)$id == 70) return ZZZ;
// add more as appropriate...
// and swap XXX, YYY and ZZZ for the module id(s) you want to use for each blog entry.
}


Cheers,
Stephen
