This is wonderful. :) - Katie Tue, 16 Sep 2008 03:09:17 +0100 http://www.howtojoomla.net/content/view/7/6/#comment-951 Whoa, you're fast! Thanks. I'm kinda of a newbie. Not sure I understand what the actual mod to my index.php would be then. Thanks in advance for more specificity. - Dean Tue, 05 Aug 2008 09:52:06 +0100 http://www.howtojoomla.net/content/view/7/6/#comment-950 Hi Dean, This does not work for Joomla 1.5. Instead of using $my, you need to get an instance of the JUser object. Here is how you would do that: [quote] $user = JFactory::getUser(); [/quote] Once you have that, you should be able to access the user id with "$user->id". Good luck! - Cory Tue, 05 Aug 2008 09:46:49 +0100 http://www.howtojoomla.net/content/view/7/6/#comment-949 Does this code mod work for Joomla 1.5? I added it to my template's index.php and it doesn't work. Thanks. - Dean Tue, 05 Aug 2008 09:43:44 +0100 http://www.howtojoomla.net/content/view/7/6/#comment-919 Dude. You're awesome. Saved me a headache. - Joomlarox Thu, 17 Jul 2008 19:16:14 +0100 http://www.howtojoomla.net/content/view/7/6/#comment-911 That would work, say if it was for the "top" module. - Rob Thu, 10 Jul 2008 11:28:48 +0100 http://www.howtojoomla.net/content/view/7/6/#comment-910 It is not possible from the template to hide a specific module from IE6 users. However, you can hide a module position from IE6 users. - Cory Thu, 10 Jul 2008 10:30:47 +0100 http://www.howtojoomla.net/content/view/7/6/#comment-909 Disregard the previous comment system is stripping the tags php if (isIe6()) : [if lte IE 6] - Rob Thu, 10 Jul 2008 10:30:10 +0100 http://www.howtojoomla.net/content/view/7/6/#comment-908 Hmm seems the quote code didnt work: - Rob Thu, 10 Jul 2008 10:29:19 +0100 http://www.howtojoomla.net/content/view/7/6/#comment-907 Great info here. My question is it is possible to use this to hide a module to certain browser users? I want to hide a problematic module for IE 6 users, is that possible? My template currently checks for IE 6 users to load a special IE 6 CSS file with the following code: [quote] - Rob Thu, 10 Jul 2008 10:28:42 +0100 http://www.howtojoomla.net/content/view/7/6/#comment-860 Hi Joost, the easiest way to do that (as far as I know) would be to write a cookie to that person's machine, which would tell you that the person had visited your site before. - Cory Wed, 25 Jun 2008 08:09:26 +0100 http://www.howtojoomla.net/content/view/7/6/#comment-858 Hi Cory, Thanks for sharing this simple but very useful tip. On a related note: how would you test for a user visiting your site for the very first time so you could serve them a kind of splash page/ intro module? Thanks! - Joost Wed, 25 Jun 2008 03:14:59 +0100 http://www.howtojoomla.net/content/view/7/6/#comment-666 Hi John...The code tests only whether or not the user is logged in. - Cory Wed, 02 Jan 2008 20:09:56 +0100 http://www.howtojoomla.net/content/view/7/6/#comment-665 Hi Cory, Quick question - does the code test whether they are a registered user or whether they are logged in? I am wanting to show/hide instructions (within content), ie "You must be logged in to download this file" depending upon whether the user is logged in. I found a mambot moshidefrom, but it required MAL component to work. I will see if I can adapt your "argument". - John Scott Wed, 02 Jan 2008 19:44:45 +0100 http://www.howtojoomla.net/content/view/7/6/#comment-605 Easy and usable. Thanks! - Paul Fri, 23 Nov 2007 16:50:15 +0100 http://www.howtojoomla.net/content/view/7/6/#comment-572 I got it working, pretty simple once you figure out the template. Thanks! One of the best hacks for Joomla! - Brian Thu, 01 Nov 2007 12:17:38 +0100 http://www.howtojoomla.net/content/view/7/6/#comment-557 Hi Locoman, You would have get the language parameter by using this: $mylang = mosGetParam($_REQUEST,'lang', ''); Then, wherever you want to load a module, you would just check $mylang using "if ( $mylang == 'name of language here')" Good luck! - Cory Sun, 21 Oct 2007 13:57:51 +0100 http://www.howtojoomla.net/content/view/7/6/#comment-556 HOW TO LOAD A MODULE DEPENDING OF THE LANGUAGE [quote] [/quote] - locoman Sat, 20 Oct 2007 23:51:09 +0100 http://www.howtojoomla.net/content/view/7/6/#comment-555 HOW TO LOAD A MODULE DEPENDING OF THE LANGUAGE - locoman Sat, 20 Oct 2007 23:50:18 +0100 http://www.howtojoomla.net/content/view/7/6/#comment-507 Hi Brian, You would need to use a different module position than "right", because right is already being used by your template. Basically, in your template's "index.php" file, you would add the "if ( !$my->id)" code from this tutorial, and use a module position that is not already in use by the template. Then, you would publish your "Register" module in that position. You can literally put it anywhere you want in your template. If you want it on the right hand side, you could put it under or above the "right" module position. I hope that makes sense. - Cory Mon, 01 Oct 2007 16:05:42 +0100
