![]() Have you ever wished you could set start and end dates for when modules display? Or set up your modules with GeoIP so that guests from the USA and UK see different modules?
Now you can. MetaMod is a "Meta Module" - a module that includes other modules, according to a set of rules.
If you install the free GeoLite Country or City database from MaxMind, you can include country names/cities/states etc in your rules.
Suggested uses:
* make modules appear at certain times of the day, or give them start and end publishing dates
* show a different module for users who have been registered for more (or less) than a certain time period
* control modules such as FacileForms (show a different form based on where in the world someone is connecting from, etc)
* display different modules on different pages in VirtueMart / JReviews / many others - e.g. show a specific module when a particular VirtueMart product or category is displayed
* show different modules depending on the Section / Category of the main article on the page
* show a completely different menu based on the front-end language the user has selected
* make a module disappear once someone has logged in (there’s no standard way to do this in Joomla!)
* use different modules depending on the user's browser & browser version
Fixed in version 'f': fixed bug preventing more than one MetaMod appearing on the same page (1.0f); fixed documentation for “$my” and “$user” variables (1.0f/1.5f) Report this listing
