Is there a way of hiding a (custom) menu/category based on membership level? I know this can be done with Categories, but for instance if I wanted to set up a seperate menu that was only viewable if you were a member of "x", how would I do that????


Thanks,

Rick

As I know you can use such Smarty code (for example):

{if $userinfo.membership eq "Premium"}
...your menu...
{/if}

In the case of Premium membership menu the will displayed.

Perfect - thanks!

{if $categories ne "" and ($active_modules.Fancy_Categories ne "" or $config.General.root_categories eq "Y" or $subcategories ne "")}
{include file="customer/categories.tpl" }
<br />

{/if}

{if $userinfo.membership eq "Field Marketing Managers"}
{include file="customer/categories3.tpl" }
{/if}

For some reason it doesn't seem to be working for me on the homepage. If I log on it still won't show the menu - however if I hit view cart the menu will pop-up.

Any ideas?

This doesn't appear to work for me. I have put

{if $userinfo.membership eq "Registered"}
{include file="customer/downloadbox.tpl"}
{/if}
<br />

In my customer/main.tpl and have a custom menu box called downloadbox.tpl

The box won't display when I log in to the site.

Any ideas please?

Thanks

Please, try to insert into /customer/home.tpl the row like

!{$userinfo.membership}! and !{$userinfo.membershipid}!

and log in. If you will see anything between two "!" please inform. Seems like membership variable is empty but membershipid must be filled with 0 or more than 0.

Hi

I get nothing between either sets of !! so it would indicate that the variables are blank for some reason.

Thanks for any advice given

Okey.
Insert into the end of auth.php before "?>"

if ($login)
	$smarty->assign("cur_membership", func_query_first_cell("select membershipid from $sql_tbl[customers] where login = '$login'"));

This code allows use customer's membershipid if he logged in.
In /skin1/customer/home.tpl insert

{if $cur_membership eq 2}
{include file="customer/categories3.tpl" }
{/if}

Of course, in condition '$cur_membership eq 2' you should use membership ID (customers who can view menu) instead of "2".
You can find out membershipid via code in /skin1/customer/home.tpl

{$cur_membership}    <---- this tag allows you to find out id.
{if $cur_membership eq 2} <---- insert id instead of 2
{include file="customer/categories3.tpl" }
{/if}
