Metamod pro seems to work great if I add it to a item that is featured and shows up on the front page as part of the standard Joomla show front stuff that is featured.  However, if I take that exact same article and apply to a module (through the menu) I have placed on the front page the article is exactly as expected but no metemod functionalitya I tried this numerous time with numberous examples always with the same result.  One example of the code I have is {modal url=index.php?option=com_k2&view=item&layout=item&id=17|width=1000px|height=800px|title=Our Story Continues|class=ourstorycontinues}Read our full story{/modal}

As I stated, this works great if the article it is in is featureed but wont show up if I "un-feature" the same artclie and pout in a module on the same front page.

Any thoughts on how to resolve this?

Thanks in adance.
