Use QCDR Technical Conditions for Request and Joomla Context

Max and All Access can add structured technical conditions to Rules and Tokens. These conditions inspect the current Joomla/request context after the normal page, audience, schedule, and other configured gates are considered.

Supported Condition Types

QCDR 1.1.05 accepts these types: url, menu, component, view, language, user_group, template, hostname, query, and request_method.

Enter One Condition Per Line

Use either type:value or type:operator:value. Examples:

view:equals:article
language:equals:en-GB
hostname:matches:*.example.com
request_method:equals:GET
query:equals:campaign=spring
user_group:in:2,8

When the shorter two-part form is used, url and hostname default to the matches operator; the other types default to equals.

Query Conditions

For a specific query parameter, put the key and expected value together after the condition operator, for example query:equals:campaign=spring. QCDR reads the current value of campaign and compares it with spring. A query condition without key=value compares against Joomla’s assembled query string instead.

Save-Time Validation

Unsupported condition types, unsupported operators, malformed lines, or missing values are rejected instead of being silently accepted. This is useful protection against a condition that appears configured but can never mean what the administrator intended.

Conditions Do Not Replace Other Targeting

Technical conditions are another eligibility layer. A condition match does not override Rule/Token state, Effective tier, page/menu/URL scope, extension targeting, audience, schedule, IP targeting, dependency readiness, or the Live Processing switches.

Test Narrowly

For Rules, Preview & Rule Health can show whether the technical-condition gate passes for a real same-site request. Start with one condition, prove it, then add additional conditions so an incorrect value or operator is easy to identify.
