I have a widget that displays floating social media icons at the side of the screen.

I want to restrict which pages they appear on. I know how to do this in general but...

The following code doesn't hide them...

class FloatyIcons extends \XLite\View\Product\Details\Customer\Widget implements \XLite\Base\IDecorator
{

    /**
     * Return directory contains the template
     *
     * @return string
     */
    protected function getDefaultTemplate()
    {
        return 'modules/MyCustomer/FloatyIcons/body.tpl';
    }
	
	 /**
     * Check if widget is visible - hide on checkout pages
     *
     * @return boolean
     */
    protected function isVisible()
    {
                return false;
    }	


}

I'm using 'return false' to test for now.

I have another module that is using the isVisible method and extending the same class so I imagine this is my problem.

So how do I do this when I want two modules to have different show/hide logic? I'm confused.

You don't need this:

implements \XLite\Base\IDecorator

It is for modifying existing classes/widgets, not for adding new ones.

Ah ok.

I worked out why I couldn't change the visibility.. I was directly referencing the template within another template like this:

<widget template="modules/MyCustomer/FloatyIcons/body.tpl" />

when I should have been referencing the widget like this...

<widget class="\XLite\Module\MyCustomer\FloatyIcons\View\F loatyIcons" />

Class looks something like this

class FloatyIcons extends \XLite\View\Content
{

    /**
     * Return directory contains the template
     *
     * @return string
     */
    protected function getDefaultTemplate()
    {
        return 'modules/MyCustomer/FloatyIcons/body.tpl';
    }
	
    /**
     * Return true if checkout layout is used
     *
     * @return boolean
     */
    public function isCheckoutLayout()
    {
        return in_array($this->getTarget(), array('checkout', 'checkoutSuccess'));
    }	
	
	 /**
     * Check if widget is visible - hide on checkout pages
     *
     * @return boolean
     */
    protected function isVisible()
    {
        return parent::isVisible() && !$this->isCheckoutLayout();
    }	

}

For anyone else that wants to hide something on checkout.

I ended up extending the \XLite\View\Content class. I'm sometimes not sure which one to extend. The Widget class was giving me problems due to other classes extending it ( but not decorating it) not sure why.
