Hi,

You've posted in the MetaMod forum, so I guess you've been using MetaMod for this. Things have gotten a bit easier for manipulating menu items if you actually use MetaTemplate instead. (free version is fine).

You want to achieve:

- the ability to show a menu item for logged-in users only (hiding the menu item for the SIGN UP), and for guests, hide the "Profile" menu item and show the SIGN UP menu item instead.

- these menu items are part of a larger menu.

correct?

HOW TO DO IT WITH METATEMPLATE

- download MetaTemplate (free) from http://www.metamodpro.com/metatemplate/download
- install it on your site
- set up your main (or whichever) menu with BOTH additional menu items: include the PROFILE menu item AND the SIGN UP menu item.
- Create a new rule in MetaTemplate. Call it something like "change menu items".
- in the main PHP box on the left, type the following:

if (MM_LOGGED_IN) return true;

- In the SUCCEED action on the right, in the "disable menus and menu items" box, select the SIGN UP menu item. This will disable that menu item for logged in users.
- In the FAIL action on the right, in the "disable menus and menu items" box, select the "PROFILE" menu item. This will disable that menu item for guests.

- save the rule. Finished.


Hope that helps!
Cheers,
Stephen
