Topic: Individual advertisements on category pages

That works great until someone comes along looking to place module content inside the Component space.

Between category listing and the V-Card Listings in this case (it's the same location as featured entries so it's prime real estate). 

You can do other things with this as well such as add modules (Ok let's face it 99% advertising) inside the details template (because you know someone will want to offer the you can have a free listing of we can crowd in some additional advertising here as well).

For the most part it just opens up some additional flexibility and additional customization options.

I agree with your assessment Greg, I just was offering a way to add a module position below the category listings at the bottom of the content without a core hack is all.

Ok, My first suggestion in this thread was along your lines.  The newest version of Sobi made it possible to start assigning banners and module displays by ItemID which I consider a bigger feature than simply automating the creation of Sobi menu links.

The actual hack was more of a seeing if it could be done bit of playing with code.

looking to place module content inside the Component space.

There are two methods I know of that can achieve this.

Method 1
Requires a core hack (and I do know if it works in all Joomla versions, Mambo, etc)
Refer - Insert module in Sobi2 Component

Method 2
does not require hacking the core code, but it only works with Joomla 1.5.x (not Joomla 1.0.x, Mambo, etc)

Refer How to conditionally output a Module in a SOBI2 Taskview - Method 2.
Although this posting was written in response to a question about conditionally outputting module content in a Task View,
just remove the if statement if (JRequest::getCmd('sobi2Task')=='my-SOBI2-TASK-NAME'){ }
from the example given to have the module content output in any SOBI2 Template.
