Hello Julian/ anyone using a Bootsratp theme
Is it possible to hide the custom menu before login in your theme? If so how?
I've tried previous suggestions but they don't seem to work in Bootstrap,
Many thanks
Nyree

Hi Nyree,
First look in your 'config.php' file of the theme you are using to see what layout file is for the 'frontpage' (if none listed look in 'bootstrapbase/config.php'):
// The site home page.
'frontpage' => array(
'file' => 'columns3.php',
'regions' => array('side-pre', 'side-post'),
'defaultregion' => 'side-pre',
'options' => array('nonavbar'=>true),
),
That tells us to edit 'columns3.php' so go to the 'layout' folder of the theme (even if you looked in 'bootstrapbase/config.php'). Then find the line containing (around no. 46):
and change it to:
No need to 'Purge all caches'.
Cheers,
Gareth
Hello Gareth
I've found this:
$custommenu = $OUTPUT->custom_menu();
$hascustommenu = (empty($PAGE->layout_options['nocustommenu']) && !empty($custommenu));
not quite the same - which bit should I change?
Thanks
Nyree
Dear Nyree,
Neither. You need to find the code that does something like:
echo $custommenu
and change it to:
if (isloggedin()) { echo $custommenu; }

Hi Nyree,
Assuming you are using a copy of Clean theme, then the code you should be looking for in layout/columns3.php (the green highlighted section is what makes the menu display only after login...
<header role="banner" class="navbar navbar-fixed-top<?php echo $html->navbarclass ?>">
<nav role="navigation" class="navbar-inner">
<div class="container-fluid">
<a class="brand" href="<?php echo $CFG->wwwroot;?>"><?php echo $SITE->shortname; ?></a>
<a class="btn btn-navbar" data-toggle="workaround-collapse" data-target=".nav-collapse">
<span class="icon-bar"></span>
<span class="icon-bar"></span>
<span class="icon-bar"></span>
</a>
<div class="nav-collapse collapse">
<?php
if (isloggedin) {
echo $OUTPUT->custom_menu();
} ?>
<ul class="nav pull-right">
<li><?php echo $OUTPUT->page_heading_menu(); ?></li>
<li class="navbar-text"><?php echo $OUTPUT->login_info() ?></li>
</ul>
</div>
</div>
</nav>
</header>
Hope this helps?
Cheers

Hello Mary
I'm using Julian's Essential theme
I've replaced the string in the columns3.php (in Bootstrap base and Clean) and in other php files in the Essential theme; I've managed to remove the menu from the login page but not the front page (the string didn't appear in the frontpage.php file as I would have expected)
Any suggestions?
Thanks
Nyree
Hi Nyree,
Ok, I did not realise you were using the Essential theme, so edit 'layout/frontpage.php' around line 161 and change:
to:
Cheers,
Gareth
That's it!
Thanks very much
Nyree
I made Gareth changes but partially works: custom menu is hided from first page (home-pre-login) but appears in login page (just after user clicks on login button)... is possible to show custom menu AFTER login is completed?
Sorry, I know this thread is a little dated and the code for the Essential theme has moved on...but I can't find the relevant code in the latest version (2.7.6b) in Moodle 2.7
Would love to see this as an option within the theme rather than needing to hack code.
Cheers,
Phil
You can get same result without touching the code, simply by playing with CSS sheets by adding
#page-login-index #custom_menu, #page-site-index.notloggedin #custom_menu {display:none;}
Update and maintenance should be easier.

If you want it as an option, please raise an enhancement issue on the themes GutHub issues.
OK, so I know this is getting a bit complex...but how would I code it that the menu is hidden to users who are not logged in and also hidden to logged in guests? We're contemplating having some Help pages publicly accessible (done so using guest auto login to this as a course), but I don't want the custom menus to be accessible to anyone until they authenticate as a student or staff member.

OK got it figured....
<div id="custom_menu">
<?php if (isloggedin() && !isguestuser()) {echo $OUTPUT->custom_menu();} ?>
</div>
