Turning off Modules in Profile

EDITED VERSION OF THIS POST.

It seems that if a module is published to show on the home page, then it will show on the profiles page. At least that is what it is doing on my client's site.

Is there a way to stop that from happening. I don't want any modules to show on the profile page.

Thanks

I don't want the site's modules to show in the profile page.

How can I do that?

Thanks :P

Hi,

You need first to create the menu item for the CB user profile (and for CB 1.1 publish it "public", it can be inside a user menu, but the menu item should be public-level (no problem for security, CB checks itself anyway). This menu will have an id. That will be the Itemid that you will find on the URL when there is no SEF.

Then in each module you need in the right column to set for which menus (Itemids) you want the module to display, or not to display in your case. You do that with multiple selects (unselect "all"), with ctrl or cmd click.

Finally, if you are using a 3pd SEF solution, you might need to clear the SEF cache, otherwise the changed Itemids will not reflect in the URL.

If it still doesn't work, disable SEF, and check again. It's really the Itemid=.... in the URL which commands which modules display or not.

Thanks, beat,

That clears it up and gives me more insight into the Joomla core.

What I found worked for me, based on your explanation, was to temporarily turn off sh404SEF, as well as search engine friendly urls in Joomla 1.5's main configuration. Then add the appropriate Community Builder links in the menu, and then go back and turn back on the SEarch Engine friendly urls and turn she404SEF back on.

The User Menu even though it is now pointing to the seo friendly links "remembers" the old link and all works fine.

Appreciate your help! And I hope this helps others confused about this issue.
