Hi, I've been trying to figure it out, looked through the Forum messages but still unable to resolve it.

The problem is simple in nature, we can only engage MetaMod with com_content (sections/categories/articles) however when I try to link com_civicrm, or com_search, or com_joomdoc nothing happens: the default module shows up.

When I pulled the value of $option variable through PHP insertion into the template code it returned proper values of com_civicrm (etc).

echo 'option = ' .$option .'<br />';
echo 'pageview = ' .$pageview.'<br />';

Here's the MetaMod config:
--------------------------------------------
// example: return 23;

if ( $option == 'com_content' && $view != 'frontpage' ) {
  $section_id = null;
  if ( $view == 'section' ) {
   /* section list pages (blog or list style) */
   $section_id = (int)$id;
  } else if (array_key_exists('sectionid',$_REQUEST)) {
   /* if the section id is in the URL */
   $section_id = (int)JRequest::getInt('sectionid',0);
  }
  if ( $view == 'category' ) {
   /* if it's a category list or blog page, get the section that the
    * category is in
    */
   $my_id = $db->Quote( $db->getEscaped( (int)$id ) );
   $query = "SELECT section from #__categories where id = $my_id";
   $db->setQuery( $query, 0, 1 );
   $row = $db->loadObject();
   $section_id = (int)( $row->section );
  }
  if ( $section_id === null && $view == 'article' ) {
   /* if it's an article page without the sectionid mentioned in the
    * url, look up the section id for that article
    */
   $nullDate = $db->Quote($db->getNullDate());
   $my_id = $db->Quote( $db->getEscaped( (int)$id ) );
   $jnow  =& JFactory::getDate();
   $now   = $db->Quote( $db->getEscaped( $jnow->toMySQL() ) );
   $query = "SELECT  title,  id,  sectionid "
       . " FROM #__content WHERE id = $my_id AND state = 1"
       . " AND ( publish_up = $nullDate "
       . " OR publish_up <= $now )"
       . " AND ( publish_down = $nullDate "
       . " OR publish_down >= $now  )";
   $db->setQuery( $query, 0, 1 );
   $row = $db->loadObject();
   $section_id = $row->sectionid;
  }

  /* Now customize any of the following rules for your use.
   * $section_id will correspond to the section id of the
   * article being displayed (if one is being displayed!)
   */
  if ($section_id == 0) return 67;
  if ($section_id == 1) return 67;
  if ($section_id == 5) return 64;
  if ($section_id == 6) return 56;
  if ($section_id == 7) return 68;
  if ($section_id == 8) return 69;
  if ($section_id == 9) return 69;
  if ($option == 'com_civicrm') return 56;
}
return 67; /* default if nothing else matches */
