Menu Assignment? – Joomla! Forum

I have a slider module that I want to appear on a specific menu option that list articles in category blog view, using menu assignment I’m able to do this, the only problem is that once an article is selected the slider remains too. I only want the slider to appear on this list of articles in that category, not when an article is showing. I can’t see an option for this in menu assignment, is there an easy way around this?

Many thanks.

Do you have an example link you can show us the behaviour you’re not wanting to see? (or screenshots, if the site is not live)?

Perhaps, you need to make menu items for those articles in that category but make them hidden menu items (so they are not displayed on any menu, but are still selectable for “menu assignment” in the Module Manager). To my way of thinking that’s how it would work, when you click the link from the Category Blog view, it should then load the article with with that slider showing.

If you have two menu itens pointing to the same category, it may pick the one with the lowest ID number.

Embed the module in the intro text and set not to show intro text in single article view.

I create my own templates and use this often:

Open your template’s index.php file.
Check for the line

$view     = $app->input->getCmd('view', '');

If it’s not there add it, somewhere at the beginning. See for example the Protostar template.

Then look for the position of the slider:
(*mySliderPosition is an example.)

countModules('mySliderPosition')) : ?>

and change it to:

countModules('mySliderPosition') && $view != "article") : ?>

This will display modules on all assigned pages, but not on articles.

Anyway…

Find

and change it to

or to this

countModules('position-3') && $view != "article") : ?>    

The first snippet of code is good for you.
The second is good if you want to add extra code, like a container (See i.e. position-1, -7 or -8)
