Joomla 1.5 - Make an "if" statement based on the component loading at one time

For some reason, selecting on what pages to show a block from admin doesn't work all the times.

Example, i wanted the breadcrumb module to show only on the gallery(rsgallery2), but selecting the gallery from "Menu Assignment" in mod_breadcrumbs settings worked only for the first page of the gallery, and not for the rest of the pages in gallery.

This is what i have done in the index file of the theme:

<?php if (JRequest::getVar('option')=='com_rsgallery2'){ ?>
   <div id="breadcrumb">
       <jdoc:include type="modules" name="breadcrumb" />
   </div>
<?php } ?>

The module will be printed only on rsgallery2 pages.

Joomla 1.5 - add a new module position inside an article

Today i received a request to insert a new module position inside the article template of a joomla website. The client wanted to print an adsense module in that position. You can see the result in the image below.

To do this, you need to define a new position first, so go to /templates/your_template. Open the templateDetails.xml file and search for <positions> Add a new position, something like <position>adsense_in_content</position>.
Save the file, and upload it back to it's place.
