Compatibility with NoNumber Advanced Module Manage was created by imma
Are you aware of any incompatibility between LNEE and NoNumber Advanced Module Manager? I think it has to do with this FAQ:

No, I am not aware of any issue with that extension.
What problems are you experiencing?

Advanced Module Manager overrides the standard modules component , presents a module manager with some niceties (attachment 1), but above all adds to every module settings an 'Assignments' tab that substitutes for the 'Menu Assignment' one and offers a fine-grained control of when and where the module will display (attachment 2).

Editing LNEE modules with AMM enabled brings a dismal screen (attachment 3) that is basically the unformatted AMM 'Assignments' tab, without access to any other settings.

You can switch back and forth between standard Joomla module manager and AMM, so maybe it would be possible to edit some settings in one environment and the rest in the other: I didn't even tried, as this will be greatly inconvenient.

I have installed the Advanced Module Manager this morning on a test server and installed the free version Latest News Enhanced without having any problem. Since the code is pretty similar, I did not look further and was waiting for your input to understand what was going on.

I am taking a look right now. I will let you know once I find out what the problem is.

I have found what the problem is.

Did you install the newsfeed plugin for the module? I assume you did.
There is a test in that plugin that checks if we are in the context of the module manager... But with the Advanced Module Manager, the context is different.

In plugins/latestnewsenhanced/newsfeeds/newsfeed.php, the lines:
if (!in_array($form->getName(), array('com_modules.module'))) {
    return true;
}

must be replaced with
if (!in_array($form->getName(), array('com_modules.module', 'com_advancedmodules.module'))) {
    return true;
}

If you don't feel comfortable changing the code yourself, send me an email and I will send you the file to replace.

All my extensions comply with the Joomla! standard and the Advanced Module Manager replaces a core component with its own. I think it is a mistake for the AMM's developer to assume everyone else's code should comply with his. Without the code I gave you to change, the newsfeeds plugin would never work, despite the fact that it is in no way messing up with the Joomla core, as suggested in the AMM's FAQ...

Super. Works like a charm now. Thanks.

I assume upcoming revisions will include this change so I don't need to track the override.

You are right. Who will write to them, you or me? I don't own the paid version of AMM.
