Can you give me an example of how you would assign a module to the following URL with the advanced module manager?

index.php?option=com_virtuemart&category_id=&product_id=&func=&page=shop.compare


Right now when I put that in it shows the module on all the pages with index.php?option=com_virtuemart

I think it is because I am not writing the url with RegEx syntax.

Can you show me how the URL would look with proper RegEx syntax for typing the URL in the advanced module manager so it only puts the module on the url with all the variables in the url.

Thanks for your great extensions.

Indeed, the input should be regular expression.
You can use this to test your syntax:
gskinner.com/RegExr/

To match that exact url, just place slashes before the special characters:


Put you could also only match parts of the string, like:

That will match any urls with option=com_virtuemart and page=shop.compare

good to know!!
it would solve my problems if I only could use the parts matching function
I actually succeed in showing the module for the main url

but not for the related ones

I've tried a number of combinations, the module should display for every url above, but no go
Would you give me a hint?
thanks in advance

So what is the common part?
You want to show it on all pages with option=com_joomleague and view=results ???

Thanks for your quick reply, Peter.

However I am still having some trouble getting a module to only show up on one URL.
I entered the following URL:

index\.php\?option=com_virtuemart\&category_id=\&product_id=\&func=\&page=shop\.compare

However, I am having the module still show up on the following URL:

index.php?option=com_virtuemart&category_id=2&product_id=&func=&page=shop.browse


Is there something I am doing wrong still in the first URL with the RegEx slashes?

I just want the module to show on the one URL and for some reason it is showing up still on this other one.

Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks,
Dave

Don't know why that is happening. Could you give me admin access?

Hi Peter, the common part is this one

This url leaves out the
sadly I don't know the operator to allow &p=1 being after or before within the url...

Try this:


The (...|...) means any of the given matches.
The & character doens't need to be escaped (doesn't matter if you do).

great!! thanks!!! thanks a ton!!!

Got it working!

Great

sorry to bother you again, but the code you kindly gave me

works very well for every occurrence like

but when something like

it gets matched by this

Is there a way to limit the number to the first digit?
