Advanced Modules Popular ComponentPlugin

Advanced Modules is an extension that changes the way your Module manager works. It adds a few functions.

* See what modules are active for the menu item you are editing
* Edit modules in modal popup windows
* Option to not show modules that have no output (handy for things like dynamic menus)
* Option to show modules on all pages except the selected menu items (reverse functionality of normal selection)
* Many other publishing limits for your modules! You can limit by:
---* Menu Item
---* Date
---* Sections / Categories
---* Articles
---* User Group Levels
---* Components
---* Languages
---* Templates

Just downloaded and tried it on a site.
Its simple to use - eg set dates when a module can be activated and deactivated , linking sections with modules etc .
This is indeed a very useful extension.

Hope the developer can keep on improving this extension ( eg exclude users from certain countries ,module to appear when user searches a certain keyword etc )

21 guns salute to the developer !

Thank you very much Peter. "Useful" is quite an understatement for this nifty extension. It's downright indispensable. The Joomla! core developers should take a good look and learn from this little gem. Apart from that, Peter's support is great. Follow up on forum topics is swift and he implements suggestions for useful enhancements in the blink of an eye. I encourage everybody to give this extension a try, as well take a look at some of Peter's other extensions, which are very useful as well. And don't forget the donation, so he can keep up the good work ;)

Thanks you very much for the review! Just about all my extensions are born out of a personal need. So any suggestions I see a value in I am keen to implement... we all win :)

I especially agree with your opinion on the donating :P

Very useful, should definitely be part of the core.
Owner's reply

I believe J!1.6 will have at least some of the features this extension has.

This extension is extremely useful to get a better control on your website's modules.
My two favourites' features are the "Exclude menu item" feature and the module panel under the parameters when you edit a menu item.
Thanks for this great job ;-)

Since your review I released version 1.2.0 which has a lot more options to control the module publishing. So now you are not bound to the publishing of modules by menu items.

Very good job Peter, congratulations... and thanks for sharing.
Owner's reply

That's what the Open Source Joomla! community is all about: Caring and sharing.
Boy, that sounds cheesy... pass me the paper bag.

Owner's reply

Thank you Sai. You as one of my biggest users should have a little more respect and write my name with a capital 'P'. :P

Very useful for module management. Especially the ability to see what modules are active for a menu item that you are editing. Really nice!
Owner's reply

Yeah, I like that little feature myself too :)

Owner's reply

Thanks for your review. But who are 'you all'? NoNumber! is just me... lonely me!

I agree with tntsolid(below), it should be part of of Joomla core.

1 thing missing= Module status icon change when published/unpublished.
Owner's reply

Thanks for notifying me on the bug (in version 1.0.0). I'll fix it asap.

It works out of the box and it does what it promises, this should be part of the core Joomla package. Thank you for an excellent extension.
byGrimbly on October 30, 2009
This makes editing modules so much quicker and easier. By far one of the most useful admin extensions I've gotten so far.

A a request to the creator it would be great if you could make one of these for plugins too or add that functionality to this extension.

Either way thanks for this it will be well used I promise.
Owner's reply

Thanks for the idea... I can indeed look into including that. The name 'Advanced Modules' is a bit out of place then, but oh well :)

byElimGarak on October 29, 2009
Such a great component and it works like charm!
Looking forward for further updates. Thank you!
byJoshlewis on October 28, 2009
This is impressive! I think this should be something that comes with joomla! It does what it says, makes it a lot easier to edit stuff, and helps seeing what modules on what menu's are visible.
