General Questions/New to Joomla! 5.x • Re: Publish date in all articles but 2?

The code you provided seems to be on the right track for conditionally displaying the published date in your Joomla 5 project. However, it can be simplified to achieve the desired outcome. Here's how:

Modified Code:




<?php
// Check if Home section or "om-oss" section
if (JFactory::getApplication()->getMenu()->getActive()->id == XX || $this->item->catid == YY) {
return; // Exit if Home or "om-oss" section
}

// Show published date for other sections (assuming your existing code displays the date)
?>



The code checks if the active menu item ID (XX) matches the Home section's menu item ID or if the current article's category ID (YY) matches the "om-oss" section's category ID.
If either condition is true (meaning it's the Home or "om-oss" section), the return; statement exits the code block, effectively hiding the published date.

If neither condition is met (meaning it's not the Home or "om-oss" section), the rest of your code (which presumably displays the published date) will continue to execute normally.
Remember to replace:

XX with the actual menu item ID of your Home section.
YY with the category ID of the "om-oss" section.
This approach leverages Joomla's built-in methods to identify the active menu item and category, keeping your code cleaner and more focused on the conditional logic.
