Title: Modules on Product details page:: ANNOYING!!!
Post by: pushthepixel on June 12, 2012, 23:50:47 PM
What were they thinking??? Why do modules assigned to spots dissapear on the product details page? I want the categories and other modules to stay put, but they dissapear on prod pages?

How can I stop it from doing this?


What a hugely annoying "feature".

It's Joomla! Assign the modules to the relevant menu items and for more refined module publishing use Metamod.

Unfortunately Metamod doesn't work that good with Joomla 1.5 and VM2.
Still can't figure out how to inheritage itemids to cart and checkout pages...
Any idea?

If you are having problems figuring out metamod "recipe's" I would head over to the metamod forums.

I have found that I get good responses when asking questions.

Its not as simple as assigning it to a menu page. The modules work on every page, EXCEPT the product details page. Metamod hasn't help either.

YOu can see what I mean here: http://www.pushthepixel.ca/clients/beaches/index.php/products

Products title is a spacer for the logo, but it dissapears on the product detail pages. Its VERY frustrating, and a stupid thing to have happen.

I have a testbed working here and it is working fine.  Modules show when browsing in VM.

Turn debug on and check your code
