  • How To: Hide modules for logged in users?

    • I've always thought this should be a feature, and maybe it is, but I can't find it, so I'll ask you gurus here.

      My right side modules scroll down the page, containing a brief mission statement, login form, and other ads, etc.

      When a user logs in I'd like to be able to remove all that and just replace it with user account maintenance options, latest forum posts, etc. Setting a module to "registered" users means only logged in users can see it, but is there a way to hide certain modules if you're already logged in so I can recover that screen real-estate for other uses?

    • Thanks for the link. Looks like a good start for this site and for some others too. The JUGA component seems pretty versatile. I'll do some other looking around too. Thanks again!

    • if your good at hacking your template try
      <?php
define( '_JEXEC', 1 );
define('JPATH_BASE', dirname(__FILE__) );
define( 'DS', DIRECTORY_SEPARATOR );
require_once ( JPATH_BASE .DS.'includes'.DS.'defines.php' );
require_once ( JPATH_BASE .DS.'includes'.DS.'framework.php' );
$mainframe =& JFactory::getApplication('site');
$mainframe->initialise();
$mainframe->route();
$user =& JFactory::getUser();
$usertype = $user->usertype;
$username = $user->username;
$admin = "Super Administrator";
if ($usertype == $admin) {
      Then have your module here
      }
?>


      This works but probably isnt the best mothod, but its so custom that you could set it to show something for a specific user (username), user type(admins, registered) etc...
      If you want to hide it from the admin use something like
      if ($usertype == !$admin) {

      or put an else statement in their to show 1 thing to the admin but another to averyone else.

    • I solved this with the showcase at the top of the page as I only wanted it to display to public users.

      In the Module mod_roksprocket just go to the "Assignments" tab and scroll down to "Users".

      I edited the settings there to include only public and Bingo !
