Hi Ncos,

sorry for taking a while to respond to this. Unfortunately, no, MetaMod can't do that. It just deals at the level of modules.

What it can do (which won't help you in this case, but I just wanted to mention it) is to modify the "parameters" of the modules that it is including. i.e. when you set up a module you get a bunch of form elements for setting title, cache time, and whatever parameters need to be set up for that module. With MetaMod, you can dynamically alter these for any module that you are getting the MetaMod to include.

Hypothetically, if the Menu module had parameters that controlled which items were to be returned, then MetaMod could alter these parameters and achieve what you are asking for. But the standard Joomla mod_mainmenu doesn't have this level of control.

Perhaps there are some alternative out there that would be able to do that? Check extensions.joomla.org and see what you can find. If there are any that can take a parameter with a list of itemids to include/exclude, then let me know about it and I'll put together a recipe for it. That would be SO useful!

Cheers,
Stephen

Make sense, keeps it simple, sounds like a good plan!
