I do most of our websites with Joomla and it sounds like you have to assign your modules to your menu items. The tricky thing with Joomla is that you dont assign modules to articles. You assign modules to menu items that the articles are associated with. Please let me know if this is confusing. It can be sometimes. Just go through each module that is published and make sure it is only with the Home menu item. 1.0 sometimes can be a bit tricky with this so an alternative method would be to copy the template and assign the modules to second template and all assocated menu items. If this still doesnt work then you can change module position names in the second template so they are unique from the first template as a last resort. Of course without seeing the administration my advise is limited. :( The great thing about Joomla is that there is tons of documentation for problems just like this. Please let me know if you have any questions.

I'm learning as I go. I've been asked to put together a site for my company using Joomla version 1.0.15. Updating to the latest version is not currently an option, partly because I inherited the site mid construction and they don't want to start all over. The site is on a dev box, so I can't really show you what I'm talking about either. I know all of this just makes it harder to find help. I've looked at new content and old content side by side in the manager to see what if any difference I can see, but I'm missing it. I've searched the forums and the user manuals and I'm just at my wit's end. Here's my question/problem: Whenever I create new static content items for the site and publish them, they display with all of the modules as if they are (on) the home page. I would like them to display with a limited number of modules like the other internal pages of the site. The modules in question are set to display only on the home page, but in their description in the module manager it says "varies", not home. I'm guessing the problem is one of two things - but I am totally a noob and just guessing. One - Joomla is designating the new static content items that I create as home page content, which is causing the modules to display on those pages. Or Two - Despite the fact that I have set and reset the module display page to home, I have missed something that confines the module to that very first welcome page. Any help at all would be appreciated.
