If you have the Pro version, then there's another approach. Using "parameter control", one MetaMod can change the parameters (including switching a module off entirely) of any module on the page. See http://www.metamodpro.com/metamod/contr … parameters for more info.

So in this case you would assign all of the target modules into all of the module positions that you want them to appear in. e.g. if you want to toggle between 2 different modules in the sidebar, then assign BOTH of them into the sidebar, publish them both, and ensure they are both assigned to the appropriate menu items. At this point, without the MetaMod getting involved, you'll see BOTH modules appear there on all pages.

Then create a MetaMod and assign it to any position you like that appears on the page. Nothing is going to appear in that module position, you're just setting up the MetaMod as a controller.

In the MetaMod, do the following:

if (some condition here) {
  $changes->mod(AAA)->disable(); // sidebar
  $changes->mod(BBB)->disable(); // breadcrumbs
} else {
  $changes->mod(CCC)->disable(); // sidebar alternative
  $changes->mod(DDD)->disable(); // breadcrumbs alternative
}

Replace AAA-DDD with the module ids of the modules that you want to selectively disable. You can use this approach to disable multiple modules at once. Nothing will be displayed inside the MetaMod itself.

Hi,

it is a limitation that the modules must be in published status. MetaMod Pro can disable (unpublish) other modules on the page but it can't publish unpublished ones.

Here's an example recipe to turn on certain mods per keyword. You have to provide a list of all modules that you want it to control:

// these modules will get disabled UNLESS they are enabled by a certain keyword:
// (they must all be published in advance)
$all_mods = array("AAA","BBB","CCC","DDD","XXX","YYY");

// modules to enable for each keyword:
$names = array(
  "keyword A" => array("AAA", "BBB" ),
  "keyword X" => array("XXX", "YYY" ) 
);

$no_delete = array();
foreach ($names as $key=>$mods) {
  if ($core_genius->check("url contains",$key)) {
    $no_delete = array_merge($no_delete, $mods);
  }
}

foreach ($all_mods as $mod) {
  if (!in_array($mod, $no_delete)) {
    $changes->mod($mod)->disable();
  }
}


Hope that helps,
Stephen
