Create "secret menu" as demo LightMart 10 years 4 months ago #7694

Philippet

Hello,

I want to create "Secret menu" as the demo lighmart.

This is to put that module on the homepage and without showing an article.

I create a "Secret Menu" group in the "menu manager".
in the template that I install one by one.

and I create a "homepage" article as the demo.
and a Home menu with "homepage" as a single article linked.

But when I use it, the Article still appears
I had missed other settings.

Can you tell me how you doing? How not to show an article on the home page with Secret Menu, only displayed modules ?

Regards,
philippet

Hi,

The purpose of the "secret Menu" is not to hide the article.
It is called "secret" because that menu never gets actually used by any module to show the "menu items" in the frontage. Actually it is not even secret at all.

To hide the "article" from any menu item, you should use a different method.

Follow my steps:

1- Access Joomla Backend
2- click Extensions >> Template Manager and then click "flexible_lightmart"

3- Look at the screenshot:

Hi,

The inner top should have been visible. weird!

But try this:

open this PHP file:
/templates/flexible_lightmart/layouts/template.php

look for this line:

<?php if ($this['modules']->count('innertop  + sidebar-a + sidebar-b') || $this['config']->get('system_output')) : ?>

and change it with this:

<?php if ($this['modules']->count('innertop  + sidebar-a + sidebar-b')) : ?>

Let me know if still no luck.

Regards,
Support

Philippet	Hello, I tested the proposed correction in the file /templates/flexible_lightmart/layouts/template.php on the demo site and mine, the result is the same module position innertop the page does not appear. But if I add a module "sidebar-a" with the module "innertop" both appear. There is always a pb with the module innertop alone. How to make it appear? Regards, Philippet

Hi,

You may eliminate the "IF" php rule completely if you are publishing a module in every page already (including homepage).

<?php if ($this['modules']->count('innertop  + sidebar-a + sidebar-b') || $this['config']->get('system_output')) : ?>

If you already publishing module (innertop or sidebar-a or sidebar-b), then this IF rule becomes ineffective. Therefore eliminating it makes sense. To eliminate, remove that PHP line completely, but don't forget to remove the following
