How to Hide Modules

Question: I would like to show different modules to different users. Is this possible? How would I do this?

Step 1. Install the Module Patch Pack

1. Go to JoomlaBackend --> Extensions -->Install/Uninstall--> Install the Updater component in the folder "Patch Pack\Updater\com_updater_ddmmyy.zip"
2. After installing the Updater component, please go to JoomlaBackend--> Components --> Updater --> Browse the file "\Patch Pack\Patch Pack\module_control.zip". After installing this patch pack, please tick the pack and click the upgrade button to upgrade the system. That's it. Non-group users will see a 404 component not found error when they browse these group menus.

Step 2. Select Modules for the Membership

1. Create a new membership / click the membership title to edit existing membership

2. Click the module that you would like to control and click the apply button. Once the module is under controlled, only users in this group can view the modules in the frontend.
