Is there any way to hide banners in article but keep them in category list?

Question

I have a website running under Joomla 3.10.11, which displays various banner modules on all post category pages.

The goal is to NOT show any banner when the user enters the article page. Is it possible without changing any layouts?

Answer 1

Easy ways css ways

Put banner class like .showbanner-oncat Then in menu category add css

.showbanner-oncat{display:block}

in menu default handle article add css

.showbanner-oncat{display:none}

custom ways

Override the mod banner view Then do

    if ($context === 'com_content.article'}{

       $wa->addCssDeclaration('.showbanner-oncat{display:none}');
    }
    else{
       $wa->addCssDeclaration('.showbanner-oncat{display:block}');
    }

But these are still impact the peformance, maybe a little ms and the banner js still load if display none set up.

joomla ways

You can make config association menu to display the module only on some menu

You are full control

You need do custom model to cut the peformance loss

if ($context === 'com.content.category`){
 do dbo and pass the view.
}
else {return}
