Hi MrWilly,

I'm not sure I'm quite understanding all the modules-inside-modules-inside-modules that you're suggesting, but it seems like quite a complex system for hiding icons and links. I wonder if there's a simpler way of doing it.

What sort of conditions are you wanting to use to determine whether or not the icons/links will be displayed? Is that the reason for wanting to use MetaMod? (e.g. quite complex conditions that you can't do with ModulesAnywhere alone?)

If you can set up the conditions using the NoNumber tools then you probably don't need MetaMod for it. Another possibility would be to use a find-and-replace extension e.g. NoNumber's REReplacer, or my Chameleon. Chameleon allows PHP rules as well as lots of GUI-based ones. A find-and-replace solution may be useful for removing HTML elements under certain situations, or adding CSS code which can remove items from display. Chameleon is great for that.

Having said that, it may be possible to get MetaMod to do it but it just seems overly complex.

Hope that helps,
Stephen
