Mmm, great question.

You can do this with MetaMod Pro more easily than standard MetaMod. With the non-Pro version you have to have a MetaMod in each module position, and they have to communicate to decide which one is going to display the module, e.g. using a global variable. Then you have to know the order that the module positions get processed.

Anyway, with Pro it's easier, as you can dynamically modify the module position of the module. See http://www.metamodpro.com/metamod/contr … parameters for more info about the dynamic changes you can make to module parameters.

e.g. you can put the MetaMod in either one of the positions (or in any other random position), then do this:

// remember, this only works in MetaMod PRO!
$target=101; // module id of the module you want to re-position
$r = mt_rand(1,2);
if ($r == 1) $pos = "right";
else $pos = "top";
$changes->mod($target)->position($pos);


In this case you would need to ensure that the module is published and assigned to the correct pages already. This code simply changes the assigned module position.

Hope that helps,
