[SOLVED] Itemid and Modules was created by boyjahq

I'm having some inconsistencies with modules being displayed.

If a user is logged in, an Itemid is correctly assigned to a profile when clicked on from a user list.

If no user is logged in, no Itemid is assigned.

I do have a user profile set up. Could anyone tell me what am I missing?

That would indicate your menu link to CB is not public, please match the Itemid you're seeing while logged in to the Joomla menu link you've created and set access topublic.

Hey Krileon,

I appreciate your help. I had two links going to two different user profiles in both of the languages for my site: 1 English and 1 Japanese, both public. I found that once I removed the Japanese profile menu item and created a user list menu item for each language instead, that the Itemids were correctly pulled for non-logged in users.

However, Itemids stopped working correctly for logged in users. The Japanese profiles are assigned the single Itemid for the English user profile menu item. Even after I created another profile (two again) menu item for the Japanese side, the English profile's Itemid was assigned.

What do you think?

CB uses the first menu link Itemid it finds. It can't distinguish between languages and doesn't care if there are multiple copies of the menu links, it can only use 1 of them and the first one it finds is the one it uses. You can have the menu links to profiles and to userlists, but the API will still use whichever it finds first. Perhaps some sort of redirect, either with incubator project CB Redirect or htaccess rewrite, to send users to the appropriate page would be best? For CB Redirect for example you could use the on before profile display trigger, check a field; such as a switch field to be either English or Japanese.. if Japanese redirect to XYZ, etc..

Hey Kyle,

Thanks for the suggestion. The working solution is below.

I hard coded the menu items and languages in, but someone else might make them parameters to the plugin.

Code:

class BBJoomlaLanguage {

  static public function whatIsIt(){
    jimport('joomla.language.helper');
    $languages = JLanguageHelper::getLanguages('lang_code');
    $lang_code = JFactory::getLanguage()->getTag();
    return $languages[$lang_code]->sef;
  }

}


class BBProfileItemIdSetter extends cbPluginHandler {

  public function onAfterUserProfileDisplay(){
    $lang = BBJoomlaLanguage::whatIsIt();
    if($lang === 'en'){
      JRequest::setVar('Itemid', '514');
    } else {
      JRequest::setVar('Itemid', '532');
    }
  }

}
