Hello

I installed InstantForum 2010 as a standard child directory using Visual Studio 2008.

I am trying to hide some of the menu items from the main navigation (everything except Search). I am using custom skin. There is an option  to modify controls for the skin using Admin InstantForum 2010 web site. Also it says that adding Visible="False" attribute will hide a tag. I am updating  mainnavigation.ascx file and there I made following changes:

                   <InstantASP:HyperLink id="hypHome" runat="server" Visible="False"/>                    
                    <InstantASP:SimpleMenu id="smSearch" MenuWidth="280px" runat="Server"/>                      
                    <InstantASP:HyperLink id="hypTags" runat="server" Visible="False"/>                      
                    <InstantASP:HyperLink id="hypCalendar" runat="server" Visible="False"/>
                    <InstantASP:HyperLink id="hypWhosOn" runat="server" Visible="False"/>                        
                    <InstantASP:HyperLink id="hypMembers" runat="server" Visible="False"/>                       
                    <InstantASP:HyperLink id="hypModeration" runat="server" Visible="False"/>
                    <InstantASP:HyperLink id="hypAdmin" runat="server" Visible="False"/>

There are no errors but change doesn't have any effect (nothing is changed in front end in main navigation).

Also I did try to change calendar.ascx file inside custom skin:

<InstantForum:Header id="ctlHeader" runat="server" Visible="False"/>

That didn't help in hiding main navigation as well.

Please advice. Thank you.

 Hi Vakhtang,

Welcome to the forum :)

I would suggest the following within mainnavigation.ascx...

<InstantASP:SimpleMenu id="smSearch" MenuWidth="280px" runat="Server"/>    

<div runat="server" visible="false">
<InstantASP:HyperLink id="hypHome" runat="server" Visible="False"/>                    
<InstantASP:HyperLink id="hypTags" runat="server" Visible="False"/>                      
<InstantASP:HyperLink id="hypCalendar" runat="server" Visible="False"/>
<InstantASP:HyperLink id="hypWhosOn" runat="server" Visible="False"/>                        
<InstantASP:HyperLink id="hypMembers" runat="server" Visible="False"/>                       
<InstantASP:HyperLink id="hypModeration" runat="server" Visible="False"/>
<InstantASP:HyperLink id="hypAdmin" runat="server" Visible="False"/>
</div>

This should hide everything expect the search link / menu.

If I can assist with anything further please don't hesitate to respond,


Kindest Regards,

I'm trying to do this as well with 2012 Forum, but this does nothing (mainnavigation.ascx):
div id="Div1" runat="server" visible="false">
<InstantASP:HyperLink id="hypHome" runat="server" />
<InstantASP:SimpleMenu id="smSearch" MenuWidth="280px" runat="Server" />
<InstantASP:HyperLink id="hypTags" runat="server" />
<InstantASP:HyperLink id="hypCalendar" runat="server" visible="false"/>
<InstantASP:HyperLink id="hypWhosOn" runat="server" visible="false"/>
<InstantASP:HyperLink id="hypMembers" runat="server" visible="false"/>
<InstantASP:HyperLink id="hypModeration" runat="server" />
<InstantASP:HyperLink id="hypAdmin" runat="server" />
</div>


the visible "tag" does not seem to matter....

This works on the classic skin but not on the InstantASP skin. Any hotfixes?

Found out a way to achieve this: By commenting out the add of menu elements in the tabstrips.ascx.vb (CustomControls folder) and in addintion to remove the PM link on the login panel I commented out the PM hyperlink in the loginpanel.ascx file.

Its a workaround that worked...

 Hi Maria, Good work. I'm sorry for my delay responding. Your quite right things work a little different in the InstantASP skin. The links along the top are built-up programmatically through the TabStrip controls code-behind within the CustomControls folder.

Whilst a little more complex than simply modifying an existing skin file this method does provide all the benefits of a standard user control so you can include custom code-behind. For example if you wanted to programmatically hide or show controls based if the user is authenticated or not.

If we can ever help with anything and you don't receive a quick response here never hesitate to email me directly on ryan@instantasp.co.uk. We'll have news on our 2012-1 update very soon :)

 You don't need to make any code changes to enabe this.

You can use permission sets within the Admin CP to hide specific areas depending on your member group.

If your still having issues with this please don't hesitate to respond,
