Configuring modules for when an article is clicked in a category blog layout menu (Joomla 2.5)

Suppose I have these three modules:

The module main_menu_module should be shown in all pages (which is OK).

I want that:

module1 be ONLY in Blog Layout List of Sport category, not when a single Sport article from that list was clicked.

module2 be ONLY in single Sport article from that list, and NOT when the Blog Layout LIST was shown.

Now the question is:

Is that possible at all using Joomla? Even if that is not, no problem. I just want a link proving this fact.

Please ask me if my question is not clear enough.

Your question is clear and makes sense. This can be done in Joomla, but it requires an extension. Basic Joomla will not do this because of itemID inheritance. Any content item that does not directly have a menu item inherits the itemID from it's parent so a module assigned to the sport category will also display on the individual items in that category.

In order to solve this issue you need to install Advanced Module Manager. This allows you to have much finer control over where your module display, such as including or excluding child items when determining whether the module should display.
