Template Styles

Joomla v1.7.3 Metamod v3.7

I've followed this:
http://www.metamodpro.com/metamod/recip … a-template

to get a module to display for a particular template, but in Joomla 1.7 it has styles and I need to get the name of the style not the base template.
Does anyone know the PHP to get the style name?

Re: Template Styles

Ugh, no I don't know if that's possible sad

Joomla 1.7 made it difficult to retrieve that information. I don't think it's even held as a style in its own right... but instead as a set of parameters for that style.

However, if you're using standard Joomla allocation of a style to a menu item, you can retrieve the style that is supposed to be allocated to that menu item (providing no other plugins have changed it).

Does that sound like it might work for you? If so, I'll give you a database query to retrieve it for the current Itemid (a.k.a. menu item).

Cheers,
Stephen

Re: Template Styles

I found a different way of doing it. The template (from http://www.youjoomla.com/) allows me to specify the menu so each style has a different menu displayed. Then I used this code, which works for me :-)

$menu =& JSite::getMenu();
if ($menu->getActive()->menutype == 'mainmenu')
{
  return 90;
}
else
{
  return 92;
}

Aha, that's a great work-around. Well done.
