Re: More menu/module problems

posts: 214

I can't tell which options are giving you the problem, but here is some general observations about menus and modules.

Having modules always show up for Admins is normal, you have to resort to tricks to get modules not to display for Admins. Maybe something will be added to help with that, read this thread: http://tiki.org/tiki-view_forum_thread.php?comments_parentId=47987&topics_offset=84

And it does not sound like this is your problem, but it has tripped me up before. Multiple groups selection for menu options and modules are quite different. When you have multiple groups selected in Modules, someone who is a member of any of the groups will see the module. But when you have multiple groups on a Menu option, only someone who is a member of all the groups will see the option.

To get all members to see a module, you usually only have to assign it to the Registered group, because usually every logged in user is a member of that group.

And in Admin Home / Modules there is a "Hide anonymous-only modules from registered users" option that can be used to stop logged in members from seeing your menu for Anonymous visitors (also a "Hide anonymous-only modules from Admins" option).

Maybe more information on your settings will help to identify the problem. When you list your Custom Modules and click on the Assign (Image ) icon, and then click on the "Module Options" button, what does it show at the bottom for the "Parameters" for the module that you want your logged in members to see? And what are the Parameters for the Application menu that you do not want them to see?
