Hi marclalosh,

I'm not 100% sure whether you are talking about controlling modules (and therefore perhaps menus) with MetaMod, or whether you're trying to prevent articles themselves from being able to be viewed unless you're from a particular country.

There's fine line between controlling the link to a page, and controlling the actual display of a page. MetaMod is best at controlling the links to the pages. If people have the URL for a page (e.g. via Google search results) then it's more difficult to prevent the people from actually viewing it. It's not impossible, just more difficult.

You also say you want  "... a latestnews module to only load the US and CA tagged items". That's something that MetaMod isn't going to help with, unless the latestnews module is a special Flexicontent one that is able to restrict display to certain tagged items. Then, MetaMod might be able to change which tags are selected for a particular page / GeoLocation. However I dont' see one of these on my standard Flexicontent install...

So the question comes down to: what do you want to achieve, exactly?

It looks a bit like you want latestnews modules to be restricted to displaying article links dependent on the location of the viewer, so that if the viewer is from the US, s/he will only see article links for articles tagged as "US".

Assuming for the moment that there's isn't a latestnews module that can restrict its content according to K2 tags, then perhaps you could use categories for the different countries? The latestnews module can restrict itself to articles from different categories, so you could have one that gets the latest news from the US category and one from the CA category etc. Then you could decide which latestnews module to display depending on the country of the viewer.

Sorry this is a bit convoluted...

Cheers,
Stephen

Marvelous! Thank you!
