Hide any tab in the Nav bar from Guests

[KidRegal]

KidRegal submitted a new resource:

Hide any tab in the Nav bar from Guests - Hide any tab you want from guests/bots

When it comes to hiding tabs on the nav bar, the only tutorials I found were how to hide the Members/Help tab.

So in order to hide other tabs, simply treat them as Members tabs.

First:
DL this resource which automatically hides your Members tab from guests.

http://xenforo.com/community/resources/hide-membertab-and-memberlist-for-guests.220/

Next:
Go to AdminCP -> Appearance -> Templates -> Navigation

Use this code to create a new tab that will be hidden from guests. Just...

I do this in most situations with the addon Nodes as Tabs and/or the Addons, witch tabs i will exclude... And hard coded template edits are not the best way when the next update comes.

And, we have this tutorial: http://xenforo.com/community/resources/conditional-statements.1604/

I am trying to hide an "events" tab. I'm a novice at codes, so I am wondering 2 things.
1. What is the LINK code for this "events" tab?
2. Where exactly do I place this code? Does it matter?

This is what I've tried, unsuccesfully:
<!-- Tab-->
<xen:if is="{$tabs.members}">
<li class="navTab arena Popup PopupControl PopupClosed">
<a href="{$tabs.events.href}" class="navLink NoPopupGadget" rel="Menu">events</a>
</li>
</xen:if>

Any help is appreciated!

Try replacing the {$tabs.events.href} in your code to the actual page url such as "http://yoursite.com/events"

Place it after the tab you want it to follow...if you want it to appear after forums, find the <!--forum--!> tab code and paste your code after it.

Currently the "events" tab is just before the member tab, so I inserted your suggested code there.. No luck.





I've entered the code from CP>Appearance>Templates>Navigation see below the line.

Might you suggest where I can stick:

<!-- Tab-->
<xen:if is="{$tabs.members}">
<li class="navTab arena Popup PopupControl PopupClosed">
<a href="http://mylabnotebook.org/events" class="navLink NoPopupGadget" rel="Menu">events</a>
</li>
</xen:if>


Thanks again for helping me out with this! M

To go right before the Members tab, It should look like this:

<xen:if is="{$tabs.members}">
            <li class="navTab members {xen:if $tabs.members.selected, 'selected', 'Popup PopupControl PopupClosed'}">
      
                <a href="http://mylabnotebook.org/events" class="navLink">Events</a>
  
            </li>
        </xen:if>

Right before:

<!-- members -->
<xen:if is="{$tabs.members}">

If its the 'hidden' part you are having trouble with, download/install the resource in the original post.

 

[Mallory Haggart]

Arggggggg!
Yep, I did download and install Hide Memberlist for Guests. I tested it by activating and deactivating the add-on and it's working properly: Members tab hidden when HMG is activated, visible when HMG is inactivated.

When I paste into the "Navigation" template:
<!-- Events-->
<xen:if is="{$tabs.members}">
<li class="navTab members {xen:if $tabs.members.selected, 'selected', 'Popup PopupControl PopupClosed'}">

<a href="http://mylabnotebook.org/events/monthly" class="navLink">Events</a>

right before <!-- members -->

The Events tab is still visible to unregistered/unconfirmed users.

What am I missing?

Thanks!
M

Pm me the entire navigation section code with your event section included so i can look at it
