Home Page

Hello,

Very new to Dolphin. Just downloaded it and am testing it now. My initial question is how to make it more private on the home page unless a viewer joins. Basically I don't want them to be able to see any information, links, profiles etc unless they join first.

Sorry of this is a basic question.

Thanks in advance

Andrew

Hello in admin -> page builder. You can make that page's blocks can view only logged members. See in attachments

Hello and thanks for the reply.

That works well for the blocks on the page but I want to make all of the navigation menu items invisible unless a user is logged in (signed up) too. Is this possible?

Thanks

Andrew

I think I have worked it out. Thanks

I have managed to hide most of the nav options in the homepage so that only members can view. I cannot locate how to hide the top right magyfying glass option though and because I have hidden all the others this just spans over the entire top area (where the navigation links were).

Any advise?

Thanks

Andrew

Try this one...

Hello and thanks for the reply. I did try that earlier after searching the forum but I go the same error that some others got and I know nothing about coding so didn't take it any further.

Isn't there a simple way to do it like with the other menu items, i.e visible only to members?

Thanks again

Andrew

Just hide the whole thing by doing this:

Make  a backup copy of your templates/base/scripts/BxBaseMenu.php FIRST

Then edit this file and Line ~147 make the following changes in RED

function getCode() {

if (isset($GLOBALS['bx_profiler'])) $GLOBALS['bx_profiler']->beginMenu('Main Menu');
if ((int)$_COOKIE['memberID'] > 0) {
$this->getMenuInfo();

$this->genTopHeader();
$this->genTopItems();
$this->genTopFooter();

if (!defined('BX_INDEX_PAGE')) {
$this->genSubContHeader();

$this->genSubMenus();
$this->genSubContFooter();
}
}
if (isset($GLOBALS['bx_profiler'])) $GLOBALS['bx_profiler']->endMenu('Main Menu');

return $this->sCode;

BTW, This is for D 7.0.4. If you are using D 7.0.3 it should look closely the same except for

if (isset($GLOBALS['bx_profiler'])) $GLOBALS['bx_profiler']->endMenu('Main Menu');

That did the trick!

Thanks very much for the advise.

Andrew

Thank you!
