A couple of questions on customization
« on: December 10, 2021, 02:18:11 pm »
Can I suppress the New banner on the top rhs?
I see I can add my own menu tabs. Is there a way to add the tab so that it only shows up when the user is logged in...like the Members  and Profile Tabs?
What does position do? How do I use it?
Thanks for all the help

1. Not sure what the new banner is? Can you show me
2. Not at the moment.
3. Position is the order in which the custom menu items appear based on the number.

My mistake, I should have said "News" not New. Just under the search bar.

I think if you delete any entries under Admin -> News and Newsletters 
that should do it.

That what I thought. But I tried putting a number or the name of the menu item and saved settings. Nothing happened and whatever I put in the field disappeared.

It should just be a number in that field. If you are on the custom tabs page in the sytle manager.

Well the position number is saved, but it still does not seem to do anything to shift the position. See attached. Two items, with different numbers, but they end up next to each other.

Why would they have the same name and url?
Normally you would have different menu items. Then you can decided if you one in front of the other  All menu items will be in top menu bar.

You are right of course, it was just an experiment to show you that the positions numbers do not seem to do anything. Even though they have very different position numbers, they end up next to each other. I removed one of them and tried again. I tried position numbers 1, 10, 15. The item(s) are always between the profile and my messages items, regardless of the position number.

I am not sure what  you mean by your answer. Are you saying that there is no way I can shift the position of the custom menu item?
Thanks for all your help.
