I have placed a module in the position "Below content" on my Joomla!-site. It is supposed to show up below the content (well ...) like shown in the picture attached. Problem is, it only does so when I set it to 'show on all pages', and I only want it to appear on a selected few pages. When I set it to only show on these pages, it disappears!
It is the carousel called "Andre modeller"See the image here
Now, I have disabled the module except on this page (and the other beachflag pages): http://anansi.dk/strandflag-a
And it is gone. It worked before I implemented sh404SEF. Anyone?
:-) Astrid
For anyone that stumbles across this question, the sh404sef user manual page on Troubleshooting issues with missing modules might be of assistance.
In brief, first ensure that the module is set to display on the specific menu. Then:
In Joomla's menu list, find the Itemid of the menu item that displays the page. It will be listed in the last column labelled ID. You will need this ID later in the last step.
Open the sh404SEF URL manager and locate the SEF url for that page which is not displaying the module. You will notice that the SEF url will have at least 1 duplicate URL for this item. Click on the this number to open the Duplicates Manager.
There should be a native URL such as (index.php?option=com_k2&Itemid=345&id=214&lang=en&view=item) that contains the Itemid you found in step 1 above. You need to make it the Main url by clicking on the Make Main button.
Hope this helps.

I am using Magento 1.9.2. I created 3 categories active in the main navigation menu. The display mode for each category is 'static block only' and the static block each one is set to use has a unique url key, name, and content. The categories are called 'how to use', 'colors,' and 'faq.'
The problem is that when I click on one of the links on the frontend for one of those categories, the content for that category/cms block displays fine, but if I click on another link the url changes correctly but the content stays the same. For example, if I click on the how to use link first, I get the right content, but then if I click on the faq link the url changes to the faq page but the page keeps displaying the content for the how to use page.
Flushing the cache and reindexing only works for one click on one of the links. In other words, if I have the problem described above and then flush the cache/reindex the site and click on the faq link, the content changes to the faq content, but if I then click on the colors link I have the same problem.
Has anyone ever encountered this before and/or can explain why this problem is happening?
Thank you for your help.
I resolved this issue by downloading Magento 1.9.2.1 and uploading app/code/core/Mage/Cms/Block/Block.php to app/code/local/Mage/Cms/Block/Block.php.
I am using YooTheme's ZOO Blog application on my front page. I have two things I'd like to acheive;
When clicking on an article title, you are taken to a page where you
have the article in full view, including any read-more content you
may/may not have. When taken to this page, you still have all modules
which are assigned to the 'home' menu item. Unfortunately, in order
for the application, 'Blog' to show on the front page - it must be
assigned to the 'home' menu item.
I'd preferably like the full article page just to have the menu module at the top, and perhaps any modules I do actually 'enable'.
A strange one - I'd like to have no pagination at the bottom of my
front page. I'd simply like to encourage users to go to a separate
page that lists all of the news.
I hope someone can help!
I'd utilise the 'fantastic' community that YooTheme holds - but unfortunately, after 3 months (being the lowest tier when you buy a product) any and -all- support stops. This includes the ticketing system which is mainly community-help based.
If need be, I can provide screen shots.
You can edit the full and any layout by clicking to the icon in zoo administrator panel. There you can edit every element in the link which is under your app type name! Next to the "Default" or your template there are links for full, teaser, feed etc. Full is for the full view of the item and teaser is for the category/front page view! In Yootheme's website you can find a comprehensive documentation about zoo also! Let me know if you need anything else
I found the answers to this problem. (I'm not native english speaker, but I hope you'll understand)
First method - sh404sef, I don't know whether it's a feature or a bug in that component, but that what you need to do:
Unpublish your default homepage menu item(zoo category for example) to wich there were assigned modules that you dont need to be shown, then create and make it Default Page(star sign) new menu item(or use existing one), and assign to it the modules that you want to appear in the full item view(I'm using product not a blog zoo app) or article full view when you click link from homepage and opens zoo item page or zoo category page.
In joomla Globa Configuration turn on - Use URL rewriting, then in sh404sef Control Panel turn on - Enable URL optimization and Rewriting mode with .htaccess . Errase all the url links in sh404SEF: URL manager(if any exist), we need it (sh404SEF) to create new links.
Now when you open new default home page with modules you need to be shown in the zoo item full view, you start to going on ALL the zoo links you wish to open then with that quantity of modules. sh404sef creates SEF link in it backend (in URL manager). And that links will open with exactly with that quantity of modules with zoo.
Now you can publish back again your previos homepage and make it default page. And there will be modules that you want on homepage, but because of links that sh404sef created when you were clicking, the zoo items or article links will open with different modules that we asigned to our second default page you use to create those links. For that purpose I commonly use existing menu item where will be another set of modules not like in the homepage. When you have new link on site you have to partially repeat that. You have to go on that link first time from the page where quantity of modules suits you (and to be on the safe side make that page your default page for that time)
Second method - JoomlaXTC Zoo Item Wall, its a module you don't have to make menu item to show zoo items on a homepage. But, I didn't tried it myself I only read about it.
I have custom HTML & other modules on homepage which have been marked to display only on homepage. I also have articles on homepage with "read more" links.
Problem is that when I click on these read more links page opens with all the homepage modules still there and article is displayed below these modules.
I have checked setting all the modules are marked to display just on homepage, yet they get displayed on articles pages too.
Please help.
Those articles become "children" of the page you are viewing, so that's why you see the modules there.
I had that problem before, it's related to Itemid I guess.
You can use Advanced module manager to assign those modules ONLY to the homepage.
EDIT:
Manual solution without using the AMM extension.
you MUST publish the category that your articles belong to in ANY joomla menu so that those articles get their own item id because they are children of that category.
this is a default Joomla behavior since 1.5
Every article needs to have a menu item or a parent menu item, IIRC, and if it doesn't find one, its parent menu item is the default menu item (the front page menu item).
So to fix this, you need to make sure that every category has a corresponding menu item, so that every article's parent menu item is not the home page. This works because every article has a category ("uncategorized" counts as a category).
Create a hidden menu, and then create one "Articles » Category List" menu item for each category.
You can find more documentation in the wiki page entitled How to control module display when linking to an article with no menu item.
Here is an explanation of the joomla item id problem and a fix
http://www.joomlabamboo.com/blog/tutorials/how-to-avoid-the-joomla-menu-itemid-issue
When articles do not have a menu item they show the modules assigned to the page they were linked from, in the same way if you had a blog category menu item you would expect any blogs under that menu item to show the modules assigned to the parent without having to assign them to each and every post.
This is a big problem when you have a homepage which hides the component output as any further items just show the homepage with a different url.
I had the same problem, and installing the Advance Module Manager (AMM) did solve my problem. All I had to do was go to the specific modules that I had chosen to display on the home page (Based on the standard Joomla settings), then under the "module assignments" options of each module there were new settings (From AMM) that had a section for "Home page", I chose the setting "Include" (Default is "ignore") on each of the modules.
What this "include" does, is that it ensures that only the homepage (your true default directory, rather than the Joomla article chosen as "feature/homepage") is the one that features the modules chosen, and not children articles, or others (which was my problem)
I had the similar problem and found this article to be a great point to start:
How to control module display when linking to an article with no menu item
It works for J 2.5 and 3x
Personally I used the Metamod extension to control Joomla modules display.
It requiers a little bit of code understanding, but greatly helps when you figure out...
I used the follwing php snippet in my custom Joomla 3.3 template:
if (
$_SERVER['REQUEST_URI'] == '/' or
$_SERVER['REQUEST_URI'] == '/index.php' or
$_SERVER['REQUEST_URI'] == '/home.html') {
echo 'homepage html'
} else {
echo 'non-homepage html' }
I had this same problem with the modules such as "most popular" and "recently added" and the problem was solved when I checked out the language of the articles and changed the ALL to ENGLISH, or FINNISH etc. After that, everything worked like I wanted to. Hope this will help you too..
In Joomla 1.5, I created an article. Before publishing it, I want to send a preview URL to my colleagues (they are not registered to Joomla).
I'm looking for something like adding task=preview to the URL and it would show the article.
It would be enough if the article would be normally published but would not be displayed on the main page in the latest news. I tried to set "Front Page" to "No" but without success.
How can I solve the problem?
Joomla! 1.5 doesn't have a feature like this and from the way it's built I'm not sure it's possible without modifying the core com_content files. You could try a search of the Joomla! Extension Directory to see if someone has implemented what you're after.
In the meantime if the article is turning up on the websites front page even when you've set it not to - then the front page must be using a Section/Category Blog page style rather than a Joomla Frontpage page. In this case you could find out which category is set to show on the menu item being used for the front page and then temporarily change your article to another that doesn't appear there.
Once you've got it in another Category you should be able to get a link to the article by doing a search from the front end (assuming you don't want to create a menu link).
try creating a new category called Preview and since that wouldn't have been assigned to any pages yet, it should not appear. If you have trouble finding the article then, you could temporarily publish it either on the home page or somewhere in the menu. Then when you have found and copied the url, you can remove the article from the home page or menu or wherever you temporarily have it appear.
If you should ever want several 'preview' articles appearing on one page, create a new menu item, assign it to the Preview category you made, and in System Parameters, click on Show Title: 'No' so it doesn't appear in the menu. I don't know about what shows up in Google for example so if it's sensitive data I can't say it won't show in search engines, it probably will.
It probably appears on the Front Page because as you say it's part of the 'latest news' module. You could also try removing it from the module feed, but a new category is what I'd do.

I just selected Section: "Uncategorised" and the article went out from the latest news. Hope it's not accessible any other way in the current setup (there is no search function hopefully). It's not a cleanest solution, but it seems to work.
I'm working on a site in Joomla! and on the homepage, at the top of the article, it comes up with a h1 of the website name. The pagesource says (Note it's not the article title.)
Any idea how to get rid of it?
Thanks,
Steph
You can set this h1 tag not to display via the Parameters - System section of your Menu Item Manager screen in administrator ... this page has a nice depiction of the steps.
It's so simple
Just do the following :
Login to the Joomla Administrator Interface
Go to the Menu Manager
Select your Menu
Select your Menu Item (Home Menu)
On the right hand, Click Parameters (System)—> and in the *Show Page Title—->*Just Select No.
That's all.
This is not the desired solution, since many people, (including myself) actually need to be able to Set/Override the page title (That Appears in the Browser’s Title bar), and setting Page Title to no here will also remove the functionality to Configure the Browser title (which is important for SEO among other things).
Anyway, I have searched and not been able to find a fully correct solution via CMS or PHP Code. The closest solution which is not fully perfect, but unlikely to cause significant (if any) negative effect on your site is through Javascript (Example is JQuery).
jQuery(document).ready( function($) {
$(‘.componentheading’).empty();
});
This can also be done is JS with no JQuery. When I find a better method of doing this I’ll let you know.This should actually be done by removing output from a template file.I don’t know which one yet. When I do, I’ll post it…
When setting the page title not to show in the menu item as stated in other answers, this will not stop the text entered in the page title box being used as the browser title, it will just stop it being shown in the page.
Using javascript to remove it is not a good idea.
1. It will only work for browsers with javascript enabled
2. Search engine spiders will still see it. As the component heading for articles is 'articles' by default it will see all your pages with the same h1 tag.
Just turn it off in the menu item and enter your browser title in the text box above.
