Hide Root Menu

[zunair]

How can we hide the Root Menu and draw again according to userlevel.

Please reply.

Use Menu_Rendering server event, see Server Events and Client Scripts in the help file.

the following is ok, but this is adding manual menu items. How can we see which menu items allotted to the CurrentUserID
and display them through loop.

function Menu_Rendering(&$Menu) {
if ($Menu->IsRoot) { // Root menu
$Menu->Clear();
$Menu->AddMenuItem(1, "MyName1", "MyMenuText1", "MyPage1.php");
$Menu->AddMenuItem(2, "MyName2", "MyMenuText2", "MyPage2.php");
}
}

Please see the code of "AddMenuItem" method in "class cMenu" from the generated "ewshared11.php" (assume you are using v11).

As you can see, there are 9 parameter in that method. You may play with $allowed (the 7th parameter) so that the menu, for example, will not be allowed to guest user:

$Menu->AddMenuItem(1, "MyName1", "MyMenuText1", "MyPage1.php", -1, "", IsLoggedIn(), FALSE, FALSE);

If you want to allow that menu item only for the user who has CurrentUserID = 1, then try this (no need loop for this):

if (CurrentUserID() == "1") { // logged in user
$Menu->AddMenuItem(1, "MyName1", "MyMenuText1", "MyPage1.php", -1, "", TRUE, FALSE, FALSE);
}

I thought, i was unable to explain my requirement. Let me explain in simple words.

I want to remove root menu and display it again by checking the Current User ID (for difference purposes).

Please help me to resolve my issue.

For example:

function Menu_Rendering(&$Menu) {
if ($Menu->IsRoot) { // Root menu
$Menu->Clear();
if (CurrentUserID() == 1) {
$Menu->AddMenuItem(1, "MyName1", "MyMenuText1", "MyPage1.php");
} else {
$Menu->AddMenuItem(2, "MyName2", "MyMenuText2", "MyPage2.php");
}
}
}
