if ( MM_LOGGED_IN ) return 150
else return 17;

the site is showing up now, not sure what i did. lol. but the menu will not show up. I set the 2 menus to the drawer position (very top) published.

as well as the mod

forgot the ; after 150 although still not showing up.

ok. making headway. I read and reread the Quick start as well as the JoomlaFare tutorial. I set the module position for the login and logout menus to drawer-metamod, published them, and set menus to none. When I use the Quick Module Position box set to drawer-metamod both menus show up (not what I am looking for), but if I remove that and put this in the php box:

if ( $user->name == "" ) return 153;   
else return 150;

I get that error again.

Other metamod settings:
menu class suffix: user
auto enable: none
style for included module: horizontal
Show Quick Module: all users

Joomla: v 1.5.20

I really appreciate your help.

Kate

Note: whem I am logged in it shows both menus. When I am logged out it only shows the login menu.
