End user, Webdesigner

You’ll need to override your template to hide unauthorized menu items.

Copy the file

modules/mod_mainmenu/tmpl/default.php

templates/your_template/html/mod_mainmenu/default.php

This file may already be in.

Edit it and find the lines:

if ($child->attributes('access') > $user->get('aid', 0)) {
  $node->removeChild($child);
}

Replace it by:

if (FLEXI_ACCESS) {
  if (!FAccess::checkAllItemReadAccess('com_content','read','users',$user->gmid,'menu',$child->attributes('id'))) {
    $node->removeChild($child);
  }
} else {
  if ($child->attributes('access') > $user->get('aid', 0)) {
    $node->removeChild($child);
  }
}

And that’s all.

NOTE: Some template providers use specific menu systems that could require a particular adaptation. We will offer this payed service very soon. Please contact us on the FLEXIaccess forum for that.
