Basically, my Community Builder (extension) pages all inherit the home-page modules of which many I don't want within CB... such as large home images or a login module on the registration page..! How do I manage where they show up like I can across the rest of Joomla? Also, on a similar note, there seems to be no flexibility with the CB usermenu block, I don't want it on every page of the site or at least I would like to move it elsewhere. Please advise! Nice Rep on offer. Thanks.
I don't know CB at all, but is it not possible to control modules in the normal way, assigning them to different menu items? try MetaMod (Google for "Joomla MetaMod"). It's a way of controlling modules and you can set up which modules show on the site, according to lots of different parameters. Again, without knowing CB I don't know what parameters it uses to control its "internal" pages, but with a little MetaMod magic you could tell your modules to only display if certain CB parameters are not present, which would effectively do what you're looking for. MetaMod can also control modules according to date and even the country that the client is connecting from. So you might find it useful for other things too.
just try to disable the module from the "site modules" and for placement... open the site modules click on the module and when it opens on the right hand side you will see the option where you want to show and where not just select the options (try ctrl+ select--to select multiple options)... hope it solves and if you have any more... please do ask...
@buzzki: thanks for the info on metamod, sounds interesting however I can't really see how I could use it (easily) to solve the problems. There has to be a simpler way, but I can't find anything on it on Google or even the CB site. @infogle: that's what i need to do, however the problem is that when I just select the module to show up only on the homepage, it shows up on all CB pages too. It seems CB is built into the homepage?! Furthermore, the CB modules don't even show up in "site modules". So complicated Thanks for your input guys.
Right I've finally found a solution.. To remove usermenu -> edited an if statement which allowed it to be shown, and made it negative. To remove joomla modules -> Placed this code before unwanted modules in the template: Maybe that'll help someone in future..!
If you don't want a module on the CB pages or any other page, just edit the module so it doesn't show up on that menu item. This can be done by clicking on the module in the module manager and deselecting (holding down ctrl) the menu item you don't want that module to appear on. You may also have to remove that module from all default pages.
