hide mod_newsflash

I have Metamod Pro and am having way too much trouble with this.  I am not a PHP programmer, so this is likely the problem.

I have a basic website that shows a mod_newsflash on the right side of all pages. 

I have a registered user section of my website where I don't want this mod_newsflash to show up.  How do I get rid of it?

I tried resolving with other forum posts, etc. but I'm not finding anything that is working for me.  I have been trying different receipes in the mod_metamod I created, but with no luck.  Please point me in the right direction.  Thank you.

Re: hide mod_newsflash

forgot to mention that I am on joomla 1.5 and the most recent version of metamod, I have many other modules I want to show up when users are logged in, just want this 1 module to disappear..... the module I want to disappear when users are logged in is module #25

I have set up a metamod module with the following code:
if ($user->usertype == "Public Front-end" || $user->usertype == "Public Front-End") return 25;

Re: hide mod_newsflash

Hi Liz,

here's a real simple way that you can get rid of that module for logged-in users. It only works with MetaMod Pro, which you have.

1 - keep the mod_newsflash module set up completely normal, i.e. don't disable it (which is what you normally do with MetaMod). You should see it on the page as normal whether logged in or not.
2 - set up a MetaMod to show on all pages (the default) and ensure that its title is turned OFF
3 - use the following recipe:

Code:

if (MM_LOGGED_IN) {

  $changes->mod(25)->disable();

}

That's all there is to it.

Cheers,
Stephen
