How to show one module if another module is not showing?

Hello,
First of all thanks for this great Joomla extension!
Ok my problem: I am building a site that displays the site logo in a slideshow, and this slideshow is showing on  80% of this site. But for the remaining 20% of the site I don't want to show the slideshow, instead I want to show a custom html module with the logo in it.
So is it possible to make a rule in Metamod, that forces one module to show if another module is not showing on that page?
I am running on Joomla 1.5.14 and have the latest MetaMod module installed.

Thanks!

Hey that's a great idea for a recipe... I'll knock something together for that and put it in the "recipes" section tomorrow.

Cheers,

Sounds great smile
I was looking at "Show modules on all submenus of a menu item" recipe and is there a way to make it work on all submenus of a menu item, but not on the menu item itself?
For example: I have a menu item called "Sports" then I have submenus "Ice-hockey" and "Soccer". If I would like to just show the module on all the submenus, in this example "ice-hockey" and "soccer" is this possible? In the recipe you currently have it also shows on "Sports" which is something i dont want for my website.

Thanks!!

Re: How to show one module if another module is not showing?

(1) I updated the recipe page for showing modules on a menu item and all its children. There's now a variation of the recipe that just shows modules on the children:

Show modules on all submenus of a menu item

(2) Check out the new recipe for showing a module on all pages that another module is not already showing on:

Show a module on every page that another module does not appear

Thanks for suggesting these!

Cheers,
Stephen
