Hi Stackideas team,

I would like to hide the ES dashboard for guests.

And at the same time I made menu links for guests to register with two ES profiles, using the following method: http://stackideas.com/forums/registration-url

When I am not logged in and I click on one of the menu links for guests to register with one of the ES profiles, I get an alert message: "please login first".

Also when I am logged in and go to a public page I get the same message: "please login first".

Could you let me know what I missed I this config?

Thanks!

Hey raph,

I am really sorry that delay of this reply,

It seems like `Easysocial - dashboard` menu item (English) you set to `Registered` access, then causing this redirect back to login page instead of registration page.

So I have help you set to `Public` access and another 3 `Easysocial - login layout` menu item, it should work fine now , can you give it a check now?

Hi Arlex,

Good to read you

It works fine but actually I don't want the community link to be shown for guests.

Is there a way to do that?

Would some php like : ....

?php

   $user =& JFactory::getUser();

   if ($user->guest) { ?>



      <li class="sp-menu-item display-none"><a href="/community-izs" title="">Community-IZS</a></li>



<?php }


 else { ?>

     <li class="sp-menu-item display-block"><a href="/community-izs" title="">Community-IZS</a></li> 

<?php } ?>



... would do it or using this code will do the same as if the dashboard link remains available for registered only?

thanks for your advice

Kind regards

Raph

Hey raph,

Yes, your above code is good if can detect that `community` menu item on your frontpage.

But in my opinion, you actually replace this menu item to use `EasySocial Dropdown Menu` module and assign this module display on your top right corner position, it should look good.
