Hello:

We have created a private forum at https://coloradond.org/coand-forum. Members are required to login before entering the forum. I noticed, however, in mobile view before being logged in, the "Toggle Submenu" toggle appears. It shows the "Forums and Categories" links but, of course, do not show any of the categories because they have certain permissions.

This might be a bit confusing to the visitor. How can I ensure this does not show before the visitor logs in?

Thank you.
Hi Channing,

You can use the following custom css to hide the submenu toggle.


#ed .ed-responsive .ed-navbar-submenu-toggle {

    display: none;

}
However, this will also hide it from logged in users.

Is this alright for you? Since I noticed you have also hide it from logged in users in desktop view(http://take.ms/MeySe).

Thank you. However, it is beneficial for logged in users on mobile devices I think. Guess my question is why does it only show up on mobile and not desktop for visitors not logged in?

Hey Channing,

The submenu toggle only shows on mobile because the narrow screen width does not allow the menu to show like in desktop view(http://take.ms/mz8vV).

For desktop view, the menu is not showing currently because there is a custom css code in place to hide it, and this custom css code also hides the menu when users are logged in.

Thank you. I think when we first designed this forum, we contacted you about some challenges. Because this forum is Private, we had to do a couple work arounds. I think a good feature to add would be allowing for a Private forum and thus when one first arrives at the login area, it would not have the submenu. Only after logging in. Kinda confusing to some.

Thanks again.

Hey Channing,

If you would like to show the menu on the toolbar to logged in users only, then the custom css would not be able to achieve it.

Instead, you can template override the following toolbar theme file and include a checking for that section(example)
JoomlaFolder/components/com_easydiscuss/themes/wireframe/toolbar/default.php

Then copy the file and place in your template's override section(JoomlaFolder/templates/current_template/html/com_easydiscuss/toolbar/default.php).
