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?

Deeman -

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 ]

another good trick
