This is a cool looking app............. but, if you aren't up to speed with css, html, etc. It is not very intuitive to configure. It seems that most have little trouble getting it to work, but these guys must be "real" webmasters and old hands with the programing languages involved. If you are new at this stuff, good luck. I have had a very frustrating time with it, but that's my problem I guess.

I just installed this and it was easy to install and works as advertised.

Maybe a Native 1.5 version could be made for those that don't want to have Legacy mode turned on.

I was looking for something that would allow a start date and end date for publishing a module.

The organization that I belong to have two different meetings every month and some events during the warmer months. The template that I am using has three module positions at the bottom of the front page that was an ideal spot for this information.

MetaMod allows me to set up these dates for a whole year and then automatically publishes them at the appropriate time with the correct meeting/event dates throughout the year in the selected module positions. This has been a lifesaver for me, keeping track of when to change the module dates manually would have been quite a chore as each of the three monthly dates are at different times of the month.

The author was very helpful!! I emailed him for help with the code to do what I wanted (I can't be accused of being a programmer!). He responded almost immediately with the required code. Works great, after I did some tweaking of the dates in the code.

Steve, sorry for the "wait" to post here. I needed to see if it worked........... and it does! Thanks a lot for taking the time to help me out.

No good for me. I installed the component file and the patch. After the patch was installed when I tried to open the Contact US menu item It loaded a white page that said "restricted access". I had to uninstall and go back to the original file that was patched to get things back to normal.

Suggestion, document the exact procedure for installation for us new to Joomla. Not everyone is a programmer or old hand at Joomla and will know what to do. It may be a great component but not for me!
