I want to show some modules in the "right" template position, but only on the homepage.

I've assigned all those modules to the non-existant "right-metamod" position. I have nothing entered in the quicklist field. I've tried:

if ($core_genius->check("pagetype = frontpage")) return right-metamod; (shows on the homepage, but also on any individual article)

and:

if ( $view == "frontpage" and $option == "com_content" ) return right-metamod;

But no modules show. If I add right-metamod into the quick include list, everything shows fine on the homepage (a category blog layout), but it also shows on the individual article layouts, which I need to avoid. See the screenshot included to see what I mean, and the domain name. Metamod though is set to only show for "Special" until I get this working right.

Also, when Metamod is published, an empty box shows in it's template position breaking my template layout.

I'm fine with metamod enabling modules on a per-module basis (rather than all in the right column). Whatever works.

I'm using Joomla 2.5.6 and MetaMod 3.10. If there is any other info I can give to help, just ask.

Any ideas, anyone?
