I would like to control the visibility of sub-menus!

I don't want an Anonymous User to see sub-menus like "submit article" or "submit photo" which he/she has no access to, but at the same time I want the same Anonymous User to see sub-menus for Tiny-D etc. where I have publically available articles.
Any suggestions how to accomplish this?

News v1.2 RC2 only show "Submit news" to users with submit permissions - you can see the approach there (Not a straight forward, easy-to-use way, I am afraid).

How stable is that release? Worth upgrading to?

I run it myself on several sites without problems and I have not had any bug reports on RC2, so if it is still the case on Monday 7th, it will be released as a full version.

However, I do recommend that you try it out on a local/test installation prior to upgrading.

You can try "MultiMenu 1.14-04 Japanese edition", which enables you to create 4 original menus that works like the original menu.

So create 2 menus: the menu for anonymous which doesn't contain post news on its list, and the menu for admin users which contains the all.

Grammars(in case it doesn't contain any english document):
[module_name]
[module_name]views.php?id=xxx
makes a link to a certain module if it is installed.

+[module_name]
+[module_name]views.php?id=xxx
The submenu is always shown

@[module_name]
@[module_name]views.php?id=xxx
The submenu is shown if necessary

I'm afraid to say I've not installed this module. And it could require the multibyte extension(mb_???), which means that it could not work on your server. Please check your PHP before you install.

The New News module sounds like the way to go, below is some coding and tips for hiding sub-menus from anon users This example is for News.(I copied this from XOOPS For Dummies)

Hiding Submenus for Unregistered Users

Each module has any related submenus defined in the xooops_version.php file in the individual modules root folder.

For example to hide the submit menu from the anon users group in the News module look for the Menu code:

// Menu
$modversion['hasMain'] = 1;
global $xoopsUser;
if(!empty($xoopsUser)) {
$group = $xoopsUser->getGroups();

if (in_array(2, $group)) { //or other group-IDs
$modversion['sub'][1]['name'] = _MI_NEWS_SMNAME1;
$modversion['sub'][1]['url'] = "submit.php";
}
}
$modversion['sub'][2]['name'] = _MI_NEWS_SMNAME2;
$modversion['sub'][2]['url'] = "archive.php";

In this one anon users will see the archive sub-menu only

Notice this line

if (in_array(2, $group)) { //or other group-IDs

group 2 = registered users

group 1 = webmasters

Nice, exactly what I was looking for!

Thanks for the help!
