How to hide Menu Link after login

ttanemori · Post by **ttanemori** » Thu Aug 21, 2008 5:02 pm

Hello.

I am using Joomla 1.0.15 with RocketTheme template. Because this questions is not because of the template I am using, I am posting my question here.

Let's say, my Main Menu has "Home," "News," and "Contact Us." I do NOT want to show "Contact Us" for those who log in.

Non members should see Home, News and Contact Us menu links, but registered members should see only Home and News.

How can I hide "Contact Us" for registered members?

Any advices?

Thank you very much.

There are several modules in the group access area of the extensions directory that would allow you to accomplish what you want. This is just one of them http://extensions.joomla.org/component/ ... Itemid,35/ You would create your contact us menu link in its own separate menu module that does not display the module name and place it beneath your main menu module. Using the module above you could cause the contact us menu link to dissapear when someone logged in.

Looks like a perfect module! Probably, it would be much more useful and powerful that I expected. Many thanks!!!

That one worked fine to hide another menu module. Yes, I could hide "othermenu" for registered members. But because I am using RocketTheme's template, the menu link I want to hide is IN the mainmenu.

Home | News | Contact Us | ..... | .....

Is it possible to hide only "Contact US" from registered members?

As I said above, just create another Contact Us Link in a new menu module and place it beneath or alongside your existing menu. It will look like it is part of your main menu. Then you unpublish the current contact us menu link

I've taken a different approach to this:

div containing menu when logged out:

[HOME | SOMETHING | SOMETHING | LOGIN ]

div containing menu when logged in - your account is visible only when logged in:

[HOME | SOMETHING | SOMETHING | YOUR ACCOUNT |] {LOGIN }

Login element is outside of a fixed width DIV with overflow:hidden.

On login it just gets pushed out the side of the div so you can see it any more.

Hi Dave,
Many thanks for posting the info on the metamod extension!

It worked perfectly on my joomla 1.57 site - now I have one set of menus for guests, and another set for logged-in users.

So cool! Thanks for posting.. I don't think the other guy understood.. This was so easy. I just made my menu items for Register and Login go away after login, but this module has so many options to do so much, it's not funny!

Thanks again,
Bob

I can see why, because I don't understand either! Wow, metamod looks powerful--and intimidating. Can you please give a little more detail on how you did this? I see a lot about what it can do, but precious little on how to make it do that.

Thanks in advance for clearer instructions!
Brian

Hi thanks! Metamod is great!

For anyone like me reading this post looking for instructions to start with metamod. This video I found pretty useful http://seo.gotwebhost.com/displaying-jo ... g-metamod/

## Set the default landing page after successful login
default.landing.page.path=/web/YOUR_NEW_COMMUNITY/YOUR_PAGE

This will set the default page to go to after logging in.

If you want to change what page they go to before the log in you can do the same as above but with:

## Set the default page to the tone page
company.default.home.url=/web/YOUR_NEW_COMMUNITY/YOUR_PAGE

Please let me know if this helps
