A replacement for the core Module Manager by Regular Labs: show modules by menu item, date range, category, user group, language, browser and many other conditions.
Out of the box, Joomla ties a module mainly to menu items, so complex layouts often end up with many duplicated modules. Advanced Module Manager from the Dutch studio Regular Labs takes over the module management screen and adds a flexible set of publishing conditions. It suits sites with a lot of modules, such as corporate portals, online stores and multilingual projects, where a block should appear only in a specific context.
Features
- Publishing conditions that can be combined with ALL or ANY logic: menu item, homepage, date range, content page type, categories, individual articles, tags.
- Filtering by user group levels, language, template and page URL.
- Conditions based on the visitor's operating system and browser, and on the active component.
- Colour labels for modules in the list view, which makes a specific module easier to spot among dozens of others.
- An option to hide a module when it produces no output, handy for dynamic menus that are empty on some pages, so no empty wrapper is left behind.
Compatibility
Works with Joomla 4, 5 and 6. The current version is 12.1.0, last updated in JED on 13 September 2026. The extension is listed as free; downloads and documentation are on the developer's site.
