Hello, I have checked only to show my module on homepage, but it insists showing on all pages… Joomla 2.5.28… sorry my poor english.
Hello Cyl, If you followed the instructions above it should only show on the specific pages you selected. Anything else is not default behavior. For that, you may want to check with the Joomla forums for your version to see if someone has had the same issue. Kindest Regards, Scott M
Hello Paul, Thanks for the question. If you’re not seeing HOME, then you probably have a different page set as your home page. The Joomla documentation goes over the details for the Menu Manager edit section if you require further information. If you do not have a page named HOME, then choose the page that represents your HOME page for this section. I hope this helps to clear up the issue. Please let us know if you have any further questions or comments. Regards, Arnel C.
Hello Vanhai, In our test application we are not experiencing any error. Are you getting any type of error message when attempting this? Kindest Regards, Scott M
