Invision Community 5: A video walkthrough creating a custom theme and homepage By Matt Thursday at 04:02 PM
Dan M Posted January 8, 2011 Posted January 8, 2011 I would love to see the ability to hide app tabs by group added to the core functionality. There is a hook available but it requires editing of files which I can't do because I have a hosted plan with IPS. Here is my argument: While IPB is very powerful it also has one hell of a learning curve. Only Drupal is harder. Or maybe assembly language. (Just kidding) I have content, gallery and nexus installed. I haven't figured out content at all and am completely clueless about nexus. I will learn but I want to make guests and users not see any of those items on the navigation tab until they are functional. I don't want a new user to see the "buy a widget" thing or "Error there are no categories," etc. But I DO want admin to see it so we can play with them and figure them out. So (with help from Mark, one of IPS' awesome support guys!) I have hidden them from the tab but the settings still appear in a users personal config. This will cause confusion and prompt questions. So I can deactivate them but then I can't play with them. I also have to remember the cryptic links to get to them even if they are active but hidden. It would be much easier if I could make them completely invisible by group. If I am missing something and there is a better way, please let me know. I'm new. Thanks! :-)
