you'll have iterate on modules in given position, , perhaps check data provided. don't think modules have type "user" or "blah", they're modules. there custom html modules, specific joomla system modules, custom ones can't cover possibilities. can key off menu vs non menu ones looking @ module object data likely, other can't group modules types because there's infinite custom modules have.

harcoding module names in bad idea, best case menu vs non menu module, you'd have clean generic re-usable code. , in 1 of links sent shows it's easy key off menu modules name or data contain.
