How to display a joomla module only on frontpage blog and on other pages (articles and categories) does not shows that module?
I saw that this is possible in easyblog modules with parameter "Routing Type / Use menu item", but have not found how to do this for joomla modules.
Hello,

Joomla's behavior allows you to configure modules to appear on specific menu items on your site. I guess you need to create separate menu items for the blog and other menus on your site. Then, in your module configuration, configure it to appear on the menus that you want.

I need this as well. This solution doesn't seem to work since the frontpage and inner pages are not separable articles/menu items in joomla.

Thanks for the tip, I'll check it out! I think the issue might have to be an easyblog fix though. I am able to get the module in the sidebar position on the front page of the blog - and then the module remains in the same position for all the articles. I can't seem to separate front page and article behavior, even by assigning hidden menus with the module only hitting one article or another.

You can enable regsyntax and assign strictly to a URL for a specific page.

Tip: if you assign to URL only, like a page called /blog, and don't want the module displaying anywhere else (like /blog/...) , you would use "blog$" in the module manager's URL section, with regsyntax enabled.

Thanks Justin - but I don't know what regsyntax is.
I'm using Joomla so I only have the 'menu assignment' option - or {modpos} with module manager. I don't see a URL section in module manager. I'm not a developer so I'm a bit out of my depth here.

Oops ... I meant regular expressions with regex. Once you've installed Advanced Module Manage, open the module you've mentioned and click the "Assignments" tab. Then, in the URL section, add the URL including the $ if you want it to only apply to that page (in my attached example, the page is "blog").
