[rameshkumar]

Hi Thanks for the reply,

How can i customize that "xxx article should display only in pageA and yyy article should display only in pageB"?


Thanks,

Make a new menu item of type Article Layout and point it to article A
Do the same with article B.

I do not see where the modules mentioned in the subject apply.

However you can assign modules to only show on specific menu items in Module manager.

how to show a module only when article is edited

[Per Yngve Berg]

You have to use Jrequest::getvar('task')

Do a search. There are many examples in this forum.

[lrdeepak]

i want "Indic Writer - Google Transliteration API" module to be displayed when an editor or author edit the article in front-end.

I am not good at editing the php files so if you can refer me some simple solution or topic in this forum where i can find the solution will be helpful to me.

[Per Yngve Berg]

Code: Select all

<?php if (JRequest::getVar('task') == 'edit') { ?>
<jdoc:include type="modules" name="edit-only" style="xhtml" />
<?php } ?>

i didn't understand the code, where to put module name?

[discy]

Here's the logic that checks whether an article is being viewed and displays all modules assigned to that position:

Code: Select all

<?php if( JRequest::getVar( 'view' ) == 'article' ): ?>
    <jdoc:include type="modules" name="your_custom_position" />
<?php endif; ?>

If you want module chrome to be applied you'll want to add the style="attrib_name" attribute (i.e., style="rounded").

thanks!!! I extended the existing if-statement in the template's index.php, and it worked beautifully!!!

Code: Select all

if ($this->countModules('mainbody-bottom') > 0) {

to:

Code: Select all

if ($this->countModules('mainbody-bottom') > 0 && (JRequest::getVar( 'view' ) == 'article'))

I'd start with creating a position that will only be used by these banner ads (don't forget to add it to your templateDetails.xml file). Then add php logic to the template index.php file that checks whether the page being displayed is an article. Further in the template, use that logic to decide whether to display the new position.

Can you please help me with the following problem: I want to add a module al all the article pages (but below them, not inside).

What should I pick in the Module's "Menu Assignment"? It doesn't render on "No pages".

Thank you!
