Hello,

I have 2 "records modules" published in the same page

here

http://174.132.147.254/ ~sarteano/

  • each one is configured to display records from different types and sections

  • each one has a different custom template assigned

  • these 2 custom templates are created with fields by ID

  • the css classes used in these 2 custom templates are different and have different class names

when these 2 modules are published in the same page I see some kind of css conflict (one of the module classes is being overwritten by the other module classes), which is strange as the class names for the 2 templates used are different

non conflict instead if I assign to 1 of the 2 modules a default template

UPDATE:

it seems to me that what is happening is that the entire template.php file of one of the module is overwriting the other module

I have

module 1 (contents from type 1) =>> "template1.php" template (choosen in module settings)

module 2 (contents from type 2) =>> "template2.php" template (choosen in module settings)

but what is happening is that "template1.php" template is being used both for module 1 and module 2,

infact for module 2 not only it load the wrong css classes, but it also doesn't find the fields values

I made some more experiments... it seems that this issue is happening even if I use default templates (not customized) for both the modules... one of the module choosed templates is being used also for the other one, even if I set a different template type to be used for each module

so this should not be having something to do with my customized templates I guess

I played with the modules settings for the past hour, I don't think the issue is due to something there

all left to test for me is with joomla default template (currently I am using Kirigamy rockettheme responsive template)

basically what happens to me (and maybe you can test on your test site)

is that when 2 modules are published in the same page

and each one of them use a different template to display records

one of the module templates gets overwritten by the other one

this is happening using both custom and default templates

Sure

Hidden text

module on top of the page, below menu = ID 111

module in right sidebar = ID 103

modules are configured to get contents from different sections AND different types

both of them have also category restrictions

and as I said both of them have different custom templates assigned

(but also with default templates I notice the issue)

I am not sure why but I set table template and it works now. I have made some changes to this module, let's see if it will work after next update on Thursday.
