Hi,
I would like to display different instances of the Main Menu (i.e. Mega Menu) if a user has logged in. I tried to to it with the plugin MetaMod, which can load different instances of a module, but since the Mega Menu is not a module but rather hard coded this seems to be more difficult.

There was anothe post here: http://www.joomlart.com/forums/topic/load-a-different-mega-menu-if-user-is-logged-in/
with the same question. However the solution provided doesn’t work for me.

I copied this PHP code to the very top of /templates/ja_kyanite_ii/layouts/blocks/mainnav.php

[PHP]
<?php
$user = & JFactory::getUser();
if ($user->get(‘guest’)) {
//not login
T3Parameter::_setParam (‘menutype’, ‘pubic_menu’);
} else {
//login
T3Parameter::_setParam (‘menutype’, ‘logged_in_menu’);
}
?>
[/PHP]

and changed the menu names to the desired menus. However I get the error “Fatal error: Class ‘T3Parameter’ not found on line 5.

It would be great if I could get some help here!
Cheers

Hi,

That guide is for JAT3v2 so you can not apply it for your JAT3v1.
Plz follow my steps:
– Open file templates/ja_kyanite_ii/index.php
– Find this code

$ja_menutype = $tmplTools->getMenuType();
– Add before:

$user = & JFactory::getUser();
if ($user->get('guest')) {
//not login
$tmplTools->setParam('menutype', 'MENU_ID_WHEN_NOT_LOGIN');
} else {
//login
$tmplTools->setParam('menutype', 'MENU_ID_WHEN_LOGIN');
}
Remember to replace right menu ID to the red text.
