Flexicontent modules display on Directory page.

Hi. I am trying to get Flexicontent modules to appear on a Directory page i.e. menu item showing directory categories.

I can get Joomla modules to display on the page and Flexicontent modules show on all pages (Category pages) except the Directory. The modules I am trying to get to show are the Advanced Search and Tag Cloud.

There is a similar post here, but it does give a solution.
www.flexicontent.org/forum/index ... =viewtopic

I have set the Hide/Show parameters in the modules to include everything i.e. categories, items, favorites, etc - but there is nothing that effects the directory page.

Using Joomla 3.1.6 on localhost with com_flexicontent_v2.1.2_r1806_J25_J32_beta.

Hello

will add this,
you can use PHP code to control when your FLEXIcontent module will be shown, so in your case

-- for FLEXIContent direcory view use:
Code:
return ( JRequest::getCmd( 'option' ) == 'com_flexicontent' && JRequest::getCmd( 'view' ) == 'flexicontent' );
the above will make the module show when current view is directory view (view=='flexicontent')

-- also you can also make use of variable rootcat, (when directory view starts at a specific category instead of TOP-level e.g.:
Code:
return ( JRequest::getCmd( 'option' ) == 'com_flexicontent' && JRequest::getCmd( 'view' ) == 'flexicontent' && in_array(JRequest::getInt( 'rootcat' ), array(57,71)) );

the above will show the module in directory view when directory view starts at category no: 57 OR 71

Regards

Thanks very much for the quick reply.

Still having trouble with this one.

I have included both sets of php code that you mention and unfortunately still no display on the directory page.

Without the code, the modules will display on the subcategory pages, but not the root of the directory page, i.e. main menu item is "directory" - no module. Subcategory on that page, when clicked, has the module.

Modules will display on category views - just not directory view.

If the "combine rules" is set to "And" with the code then the module will not show anyhere on the site. Set to "Or" the module display returns throughout the site but still not on the directory root page.

Module display set to "all pages"

I do have a Site Content page with directory view in the Flexicontent hidden menu but cannot see how this would effect the module display. Publish or Unpublish of this item makes no change.

Hello

1. setting combine rule to 'AND' is meaningless

e.g. your current view cannot be both 'category' view and 'directory' view at the same time

2. above option should be compared with 'com_flexicontent' and not with 'flexicontent'

i have corrected the above code , please recopy it
