I can reproduce it like this:
Exclude Non-Sef match: option=com_content&view=article

Joomla SEF is turned off, no SEF extensions installed. This is localhost and Joomla 1.5.17

I thought with the above rule, a module would be "turned off" if any article is displayed. But this doesn't work. I suspect it is a bug in 1.9.1?

Please advise.

The Non-SEF field is used when SEF is not turned on.

Seeing you do have SEF turned on, the Non-SEF field is ignored and AMM will use the SEF field to look for URL matches.

I said "Joomla SEF is turned off, no SEF extensions installed." This should imply that SEF is turned OFF The rule was entered in the Non-Sef field.

This simply means I cannot read. If only I could fix my personal bugs

Anyway, with this in the field 'option=com_content&view=article', all urls that have that in it should not show the module.
Could you give me admin access and a link to the page where you have this module showing where it shouldn't?
Then I can look into this...

No problem, that's why I put a smilie in my response.

Unfortunately it is on my local test site. Is there a way how I could debug this myself (or turn on a trace) and post the information here?

By the way, I also tried to make AMM the first and then the last plugin. Didn't seem to make a difference.

Can you give some (local) urls (as an example) where the module does and does not show?

Here is an example link


I tried a few modules. Including
mod_mainmenu

option=com_content&view=article

Yep, found the bug... I will send you a new version to try out...

Yes, 1.9.2 fixed it Thanks!

Now one more question, but is probably a feature request?

You mentioned that when SEF is turned that the Non-Sef field is ignored? Is there a way around that? It is much easier to match based on nonSEF URLs.

Well, that was my initial idea. To just use non-sef matching.
But it turns out that it is impossible for AMM (or any other extension) to get the non-SEF equivalent of a SEF url when SEF is turned on.
It can get close, but not exact. And you need it exactly to be of any use.

So the SEF field is the most straight-forward thing I could think of to overcome this problem.

Ok, I understand.

Is even the PHP section useless in this case?

No, it isn't useles, what you could do is this:

Oh, I actually tried that one already, but didn't work. Trying again right now.

Ah, I see that your fix also fixed that problem

Where can I download 1.9.2 from? I have spent the weekend trying to get this to work for me. Arghhhhhhhhhhhhhh! I guess it means I wasn't doing anything wrong.

Cheers,

Paul

v1.9.2 is still in development. Not yet public. But will probably be released tomorrow....
