joomla module to display in every pages - joomla

I am new to Joomla and Virtuemart. I am using Joomla 1.5 and Virtuemart 1.1.9 and developing a website for online book sales. For my site I have created my own template. On my site's frontpage I have displayed a "category" module and everything is working fine.
But my problem is I want to show this "category" module on every page of my website and I don't know how to do it. In the back end I tried the following steps:
Module Manger->Categories->Menu Assignment->Menu Items, but in the list of menu items I can't see the pages that are related to my template.
Can someone please help me?

You shouldn't need to see a list of pages related to your template, all you would need to do is select the All option under Menu Assignment for the module. This will make the module show on every page.

Joomla/Virtuemart scripts not working on the product detail view

I have a Joomla 2.5.20 site with VirtueMart 2.6.4. I'm creating a template that among other things uses jQuery and Bootstrap. While the site works well in general, including VM's cart, I'm facing problems with the product detail view: no script from VirtueMart seems to be working: if I click on a thumbnail image, it won't change the main image. If I click on the main image, it will open in a new window instead of opening with Fancybox. The rating control won't allow me to select a star to rate the product.
I've been searching all over and every answer I've come up with say it's a jQuery conflict. While jQuery (v. 1.8.0) is there, I don't see where the conflict could possibly be.
The site is:

The URL to a sample where it's not working:

Any help will be really appreciated. Thanks in advance!

Joomla Modules Not Showing Up On Menu Assignments

I have a menu, Home * About Us * Services, Home is a Featured Article, About Us and Services are Single Article types. I have a different article assigned to each menu item, with the homepage article being a featured article.
I created a module and assigned that module to all pages (this is default behavior). The module shows up on the home page but does not appear on any of the other two pages.
I've done this a million times... what on earth could I be missing?
Does the module position occur on all pages? Check your template configuration.
I am facing a similar issue . Well, not exactly the same but I upgraded my site recently to Joomla 3.x and I am unable to add any modules to the site on any of the pages. To answer my original question, please click here

RAXO All-mode PRO instead simple article on home page JOOMLA

HI I have problem to change content display into my homepage. I need change simple articles categories display to something like RAXO All-mode PRO. But I don't know how to insert this module into content on home page. I using Joomla 3.x
If it's impossible, maybe somebody know about component which show articles categories better than conventional.
To insert any module of Joomla x.x you can use this tag into the content of an article: {loadposition MyModulePosition}. Then in the module you set the position to MyModulePosition and in the menu display option mark the menu item that point to the article.
However if the home page menu item point to "all featured article", you can set the article as featured and the module apears in the home page.

Joomla 2.5 - sources of homepage content

Total Joomla newbie here. I've been asked to help with a site I didn't create, and I don't know Joomla. The site is using Joomla 2.5.
The homepage contains three featured articles, but some additional content is showing up below the third article, above the footer. The admin tool only shows three featured articles, and when I examine the source of the third article, there doesn't appear to be anything wrong with it.
Where can this additional content be coming from? Any suggestions on how to track down how it is getting added to the page?
TIA!
Probably a module - check out the installed modules.
Check the active template, then go to the template folder > your template > index.php. this is the PHP of your site.
Here you can see what modules positions you have, and then check in the admin system > module manager what position is actually in use.

Home page modules showing on articles in Joomla

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 ยป 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..
