member menus

[laskos]

hi.

I am hoping someone can help. I am looking at adding a seperate menu button for members only. So when a guest goes onto the site they see the normal buttons, but when a member signs in i want a chat button to show up on the left ?

can this be done and if so can someone please help.

thanks

You'd need to add it into your theme's theme.php with the existing links. Put it inside a condition statement to make it members only:

Code Select Expand

if (USER_ID) {
// something
}

If you want specific code you need to give specific information.

[Thx]

Hi,

I also would like to add a link to something like a chat (only for registered user) in my coppermine menu.
And why not by the why hide all the gallerie tools as weel.

I have try, with If (user_ID) but I don't find the right syntax...

Code Select Expand

<!-- END logout -->

                </span>
EOT;Here is all the HTML link from my them.php file that I would like to hide for unregistered user.

May I ask somebody to help me to create the right code.

Thanks in advance

EOT;although I don't think they have a chat on the google home page

[Thx]

Thanks a lot GauGau,

As usual, you provid us a useful help

Finally I opt for the seconde solution you propose and as my gallery is only viewable for registered members, I have also include all the other links as you can see here below.

Code Select Expand

<!-- BEGIN logout -->
                        <a href="{LOGOUT_TGT}">{LOGOUT_LNK}</a>
                        <br /><br />
                        <a href="http://www.google.com">Chat</a> ::
                        <a href="{LASTUP_TGT}">{LASTUP_LNK}</a> ::
                        <a href="{LASTCOM_TGT}">{LASTCOM_LNK}</a> ::
                        <a href="{TOPN_TGT}">{TOPN_LNK}</a> ::
                        <a href="{TOPRATED_TGT}">{TOPRATED_LNK}</a> ::
                        <a href="{FAV_TGT}">{FAV_LNK}</a> ::
                        <a href="{SEARCH_TGT}">{SEARCH_LNK}</a>

<!-- END logout -->
                                        </span>
