Hi Igor,

The answer to this depends a bit on how many different module positions you are using. You should only need - at most - one MetaMod per module position. And if you use MetaMod Pro, a MetaMod in one position can control modules in *other* positions, so then you might be able to do it all with 1 MetaMod overall.

So let's look at the "Pro" solution using 1 MetaMod module. This uses MetaMod Pro's ability to switch modules OFF in any module position. This should then work as you stated:

"all settings will be from current modules (positions, access levels and css suffixes), and publish/unpublish (or show or not) - from metamod"

As I said, with MetaMod Pro you can switch modules OFF. i.e. you start with all the modules published and set to the respective access levels etc.

Let's say that you have a series of modules with ids 101-120. For each combination of country (I assume GeoIP?) and language you need to turn most of these off, leaving the "correct" ones turned on.

For ease of use I'll structure it so that in each case you specify the modules you want to leave ON, and the system will calculate which ones need to be turned off.

The PHP in the MetaMod would work like this:

$all_mods = array(101, 102, 103, 104, 105, 106, 107, 108, 109, 110, 111, 112, 113, 114, 115, 116, 118, 119, 120);
$on = array();
if ($language_code == 'ru') {
  switch ($fromCountryId) {
    case 'ru': $on = array(101,102,103,104,105,106);
      break;
    case 'en': $on = array(107,108,109,120,111,112);
      break;
  }
}
if ($language_code == 'en') {
  switch ($fromCountryId) {
    case 'ru': $on = array(113, 114, 115, 116);
      break;
    case 'en': $on = array(117, 118, 119, 120);
      break;
  }
}
// now turn off any that aren't in the $on array
$offs = array_diff($all_mods, $on);
foreach ($offs as $off) {
  $changes->mod($off)->disable();
}
// done!

Hi,

You could do it this way:

if ( $fromCountryId == "UA"
or $fromCountryId == "RU"
or $fromCountryId == "KZ"
or $fromCountryId == "BY"
or $fromCountryId == "TM"
or $fromCountryId == "UZ"
or $fromCountryId == "KG"
or $fromCountryId == "TJ"
) return 985;

There are other ways but that one's easiest to understand.

Yes, if you are using the non-Pro version and you need to control modules in different positions, then you'll need a MetaMod with a variation of this code in each of those positions.

Best regards,
Stephen
