Configuring module positions not to show in frontpage

darkchild · 03.09.2004, 02:14

Here is my situation: I need to have two module positions (front and user 1) to show on every page except on the frontpage. I know there is an option in Module Manager to set this

But every time you add a new menu item you would have to go back to the module manager and include that menu item in the pages that would show the module in question.
I am looking for some php code to allow me to specify certain module positions cannot show in frontpage / or visa versa.

Sometime back, i think some of the templates coming out of the mambo community had the option to show certain columns only in frontpage. i think what i am looking for is a similar concept excpet, the condition here is module positions that do not show on frontpage

Just in case someone else is having the same issue, i found the workaround in a post elsewhere in this forum:

Code:

<?php 
     
    if(!$option || $option == 'com_frontpage') { 
          include ("main_layout.html.php");           
    } else { 
          include ("content_layout.html.php"); 
    }; 

?>

Hi There DarkChild

I need to do exactly what you did with your ZimCanada site. I am new to php and Mambo though. Would you mind sharing some more details or even your mambo-files that you have changed?

Also I am using the new stable mambo4.5.1.... not sure if that makes a difference.

Many thanks

Francois
