Modules give your website power and appeal. You can turn your dull site into an exiting and dynamic masterpiece. Unfortunately Joomla only gives you limited control over defining on what pages your modules are placed. You can only do this based on the menu items. This is where Advanced Module Manager comes in and throws all limitations aside. We'll look at the different possibilities it gives you to assign modules to... well... to virtually anything you can think of. Hopefully we'll have some discussion and discover some great new ways to use all this power.
