Displaying module only at frontpage of phoca gallery

Hi

I'm not a programmer, unfortunately, so it's hard for me to understand how to make it by using MetaMod

I need to display module in certain position only on the frontpage of phoca gallery (frontpage of phoca gallery also called "List Of Categories (Categories View")

I've saw codes that probably could solve my problem, but I don't know how to detect frontpage of phoca gallery

Other possible solution is to display module only when "Gallery" selected in menu. It could be done in fact without MetaMod. But in that case module will be displayed on other pages of phoca gallery (while viewing certain category, for example)

I'll be very thankful for any kind of help.
I'm using Joomla 1.7

Re: Displaying module only at frontpage of phoca gallery

Hi ArmorDarks,

that's a great question - I understand what you mean.

Can I suggest that you turn on MetaMod Advanced Debug mode, and assign the MetaMod to ALL pages.

Then, visit the "front page" of Phoca Gallery, plus a selection of the inner pages.

On each page, take a copy of the output from the MetaMod, and post it in this forum along with a description of which page you were viewing?

Then I can recommend some PHP to use.

Thanks,
Stephen

Re: Displaying module only at frontpage of phoca gallery

So, I didn't thought that it's so simple
Here we go:

frontpage:
Module ID: 92
$option: com_phocagallery
$view: categories
$id:
$Itemid: 207
$timezone: UTC
$language: ru
$language_code: ru
$language_region:
Including modules: not found

while viewing category (subcategory has same output, but different id of course):
MetaMod debug info:
Module ID: 92
$option: com_phocagallery
$view: category
$id: 1:kateogriya-1
$Itemid: 207
$timezone: UTC
$language: ru
$language_code: ru
$language_region:
Including modules: not found

Also looks like finally I've found code that I've needed:

if ( $option == "com_phocagallery" and $view == "categories" ) return 91;

and it works! smile

thanx!

Advanced Debug mode in MetaMod really rocks!
