How do you hide a module while viewing an article in J1.5???

[deeman001]

How do you hide a module while viewing an article?  in 1.0.x you could type "if (($option != 'com_content') && ($view != 'article'))" but that doesn't work in 1.5.

Any ideas?

no, I need to know that trick... I hope you can find out your reply in the Coding Forum... but please post here the exact reply! Thank you very much in advance!

$option = JRequest::getVar('option');
$view = JRequest::getVar('view');

I didn't try it and am not sure. But try using these 2 lines before your if statement.

Here is how you do it:

$view = JRequest::getVar('view');

if ($view != 'article') { ?>

[html you do not want displayed goes here]

Pentacle,

Thanks for the help.  I modified the if statement just a little and your suggestions worked.

Here is what I ended up with:

$view = JRequest::getVar('view');

if ($view != 'article') { ?>

[html you do not want displayed goes here]



Thanks for helping me out with this.

newart, here is what works.

$view = JRequest::getVar('view');

if ($view != 'article') { ?>

[html you do not want displayed goes here]



This is the way to hide html when viewing an article.

wow, ok but one question, how to write the URL of that article with that particular ID?

for my needs, this will work.  I will continue looking to see if it can be done for each article.  You could probably use the article id # or similar.

yeah but don't worry it's only a possibility and not a need for my site and so all is ok! Thanx again deeman001. bye

And here is another variation...saves a line of code 


[ html you do not want to display here ]
