Good morning all I wanted to know a bit more about setting up custom menus in XOOPS so I can have menus driven by the user they login as. Example if a user is in a group called UNIX I want a menu with info pertaining just to the UNIX group, but also on a side note I would like to be able to control documents by user/group so if user is in group UNIX maybe that specfic user also has access to some menus items in the NETWORK group can this be done???

Thanks

Well that kind of answers a question, but not exactly what I was looking for. Ok so let me try this again here on the XOOPS site they have menus like Community, User menu, Development, etc. this is the type of custom menus I would like to build for groups of users on a user/group level. Also on another side note I want to be able to add items to the main menu just like when a module is installed I hope that will clear up my question a bit.

Thanks

There is a module that is available, that is what you're looking for I believe. Try this one: multiMenu.

*Edit
The actual download is at this link
multiMenu

to simply add to main menu you will need to edit your system_block_mainmenu.html template to look like this:

<{$block.lang_home}>

<{foreach item=module from=$block.modules}>
<{$module.name}> <{foreach item=sublink from=$module.sublinks}>
<{$sublink.name}>
<{/foreach}>
<{/foreach}>

yourtext

you can create custom menu blocks and give permission to certain users:

yourtext

yourtext
yourtext
yourtext
yourtext

add all the links you want

Okay, I installed this module on my site. It looks like it works pretty well.

After you have installed the module, from the admin menu of that module, you will need to:
1. choose multiMenu 1.
2. add a new link (you can actually set your group permissions on the link)
3. After you have added all of the links you want to display in that group, then go to System -> Blocks.
4. Find the block for multiMenu 1.
5. Edit this block.
6. Change the title from multiMenu 1 to whatever it is you want as the main menu title.
7. You will also need to select the visible option to 'yes' before saving your block.
8. Save the block and see what happens on the home page.

Good luck

But as I understand, it's impossible for example, to paste your "custom link" between "moduls' links", am I right?

if it's so, it's very STUPID

(i guess would be good to have a link created automatically when creating custom block)

yes that may be, but you can add as per example in bold. i have no experience with multimenu module so i cannot speak to that.
