When someone logs in to the front end, I want a particular menu item not to display in the main menu. Is there a known way to do this with Gantry and the Fusion-Menu?
What I'm trying to do is have some items show for anonymous visitors, and once they log in one or more menu items are dropped and replaced with a different menu item. I can use access levels on the menu items to add more items once someone is logged in, but I don't know how to remove a menu item. This may be a general Joomla issue, but with Gantry taking over some control of the main menu, I'm asking here to see if anyone knows a solution when working with Gantry. (I just updated to Gantry 3.0.9)

I found a solution, though not as elegant as for what I was searching.
In the template I added some php conditional code. If the template senses a user id, it surrounds the top level menu with a div and id. Then I set up a CSS rule "display:none" applied to that menu item when it is found within that id.
This is not ideal, but it is a workable solution.
in index.php...<?php $my =& JFactory::getUser(); if ( !$my->id ) {echo '<div id="registeredVisitor">';} ?> ...menu code... <?php if ( !$my->id ) {echo '</div>';} ?>
in template.css...div#registeredVisitor li.item39 {display:none;}

That seems the way to do it, but couldn't you use Joomla groups<?php $user =& JFactory::getUser();docs.joomla.org/Accessing_the_current_user_object
if ($user->guest) { ?>
menucode
<?php
} else {
?>
othermenustuff
<?php
}
I personally have used Community ACL (pricey), and works with rocket themes menu.
