Show submenu item when condition is true

Hi, I have a main menu, with a submenu item. I do not use Joomla users, instead I use directphp and my own user system because I have 3 types of users. Basically what I am trying to achieve:

Mainpage with no users logged in show 3 options:
Login (No submenu items should show)
Login for Managers (No submenu items should show)
Login fir Super admin (No submenu items should show)

When the users are logged in the following submenu's should show:

Login - (Item1, Item2, Item3)
Login for managers - (Item1, Item2, Item3)
etc.

My code looks like this:

Code:

if ($_SESSION['auth']) {  

return 51,52;

}

if ($_SESSION['authman']) {  

return 76,77;

}

where the 76,77 is the sub menu items

Re: Show submenu item when condition is true

MetaMod does not have direct control over individual menu items showing up in other modules. Basically it can just decide which other modules to display or not.

If you are using the standard mod_mainmenu modules to display your menus, then I made a drop-in replacement for mod_mainmenu called "Elastimenu". What you can do with Elastimenu is when you set it up, you can tell it some of the menu items to NOT display.

So what I'd do in your case is to create several Elastimenu modules, one for each situation (with different items not showing).

Then, use MetaMod to select which *module* will display or not.

Elastimenu is free and available from http://www.metamodpro.com/software/elastimenu

Hope that helps,
Stephen
