MetaMod has great support for dates and times. You can make simple rules that publish and unpublish modules at certain dates and times, but that’s just the beginning. Rules like these are great for displaying certain modules during “shopping hours”, radio programme broadcasts, sports seasons etc.

It’s very common to want to put modules on all pages except the front page. This recipe allows you to target the front page (or any given page) and either exclude a module from that page or include it on that page.
