Hi Folks,
I have a module I only want to display if the user is looking at the home page.
Now I managed to sort of do what I want by setting the module to only load for the "mainmenu: home" location in the "Menu Item Link(s): " in the module set up.

But this does not prevent the module for loading when a 404 error is generated, and when the register and login pages are loaded. All of these seem to utilise the "homepage" so the module loads in these instances. I need it to load ONLY when on the actual homepage as if the user just came to the site or has clicked a HOMEPAGE link on the site.

Is there any way I can test for this and then use some sort of IF statement in the template to not display that POSITION I have set up specifically for this module... or even better, to just keep the position there (as I may want other things to display there at some point) but to prevent the module for loading when it's the actual homepage?

With thanks,

Jonathan

Okay... managed to figure this one out.

Achieved it by using this:

$here = $currentpage = $_SERVER['REQUEST_URI'];
//echo $here;
if ( $here == "/" or $here == "/index.php?option=com_frontpage&Itemid=1" or $here == "/index.php")
{
if (mosCountModules('boxmenu')>0) mosLoadModules('boxmenu',0);
//designate tech.php#tech02 as currentlink
}
?>

Perhaps this'll help someone else wanting to do something similar.

Regards,
Jonathan

I am using Joomla! 1.0.15 with rocketheme catalyst. There is a module assigned to the frontpage only( assigned mainmenu:home). But it shows up also in registration page and lost password page as well as ads from ads manager "latest ads" module.

I think this is the same issue you describe. I would like to try your fix. Which file did you add this code to?

Thank you for your help.
