Hello Paul,

Sorry but I am a little lost here. Can you please elaborate more about this please?

Hi Mark

Lets take a really simple eg like a log in box.

Obviously the login box is only useful when you are not logged in.

Module: EasySocial Log Box [mod_easysocial_logbox]

I am attaching 2 screen shots. The first is how "FINAL BUG LOGIN BOX" looks when not logged in the second when logged in

I probably was not very clear.

These modules are driving me crazy

There's actually an option "Show Logout Button" which you can set in the module settings.

Hi Mark

I am sorry but now I do not understand!
"There's actually an option "Show Logout Button" which you can set in the module settings. "
Maybe I should emphasise that i am using the Module: EasySocial Log Box [mod_easysocial_logbox]
It is the big one that you put up on the top of the home page.
I am wondering if there is a way to hide this box completely once logged in!

thanks

Paul

hey paul,
to have more control about your modules you might want to take a look at the advanced module manager from nonumber: http://www.nonumber.nl/extensions/advancedmodulemanager

there you can for example tell your module that it should ONLY show up for guests but never for registered users and so on (plus lots of other options as well)... I guess that's what you're looking for - hope that helps

Hm, I think you are using a different module and not mod_easysocial_logbox because the module mod_easysocial_logbox does not display anything if you are logged in.

I am pretty sure that it is standard Easy Social stuff. Please see the screen shots...

I don't get it. Your second screen shot does not show any buttons after logged in? Are you trying to display something after the user is logged in or ?

No. I am not trying to display anything after the user logs in. If I am understanding this correctly the EasySocial login box should disappear when logged in which does not seem to be the case!

hey paul,
have you read my answer?? ^^ just download the advanced module manager and all your problems are solved

Hi Alex

I have it thanks and it is a huge help. Not sure about all of my problems being solved but my headache of the week has definitely been solved.

thank you Sir

Paul

@Alex, I'm a big fan of NoNumber extensions, but in my opinion advanced module management isn't needed. Joomla 3.2 has the guest usergroup in by default. Assuming it exist, simply set the module access to guest. If the access named "guest" does not exist, refer to the Joomla docs on how to create it: http://docs.joomla.org/How_do_you_hide_something_from_logged_in_users%3F

Thanks for sharing guys but here's the issue. The mod_easysocial_loginbox should never display any contents if the user is logged in. It is displaying the module header on your site probably because your template is enforcing the module title to appear even when there are no contents in the module.

This is the code that is in /modules/mod_easysocial_logbox/mod_easysocial_logbox.php

// If user is logged in, skip this

if( JFactory::getUser()->id )

{

	return;

}

Hi Mark

I am unsure how to proceed? Do I need to modify the code above? Contact the template people?

please advise

thanks

Paul

Hello Paul,

Hm, no you don't really need to modify the code because the code already states that if the user is logged in, nothing would be output from the module. Unless the template explicitly display the module title regardless if the content is empty or not.

Hi Mark

Are you suggesting that I need to talk with the template people?

thanks

Paul

I signed up for the site to test this. Awaiting approval.

Yep, that's right Paul. I can help you check on the site template if you can provide us with the FTP access.

Hi Mark

It would be great if you could take a look at it. I am putting the FTP stuff down below

thanks in advance

Paul

Hello Paul,

It looks like the JSN Corsa Pro template is outputting the module title when there are no contents on the module. I have no idea why but I have added the codes below in the file /templates/jsn_corsa_pro/html/modules.php

	if (!$module->content) {

		return;	

        }

Hi Mark

Thanks for that. I will tell them. It just does not make any sense to display the name of an empty module!!!

thank you

Paul

Hi Mark

I am sorry for bringing this up again. But this is what I am seeing. Please see screen shots.
In other words even if the Module (Text) does not display there is still a space left where the empty module should have been.
Should I not contact the template people!?! Surely it is their responsibility?
Fixes are well and good but these days I am primarily interested in fixes which do not break again with the next update (e.g. template update)
This is all happening on the home page.
One more question this will effect all empty module on the Site? Yeah?

best
Paul

Hello Paul,

Yes, it's best to check with them because the code that I applied only fixes the title from not showing up. Their template still needs to check if there's any contents for that particular position.
