How to show different menus for different categories of site users

If you used MX User Login (Try | Buy) when you built your site, and you want the site menu to display different items for different-level users, these are the things that you should do:

1. Add a new column (level_mnu) in the database table that stores the menu items information.
   Note: The table should have the InterAKT structure required by the Database-driven CSS Menu component (wizard or server behavior).
   This new column takes integer values, signifying the site user level. For example, it can take the next values:

2. • -1 - for regular site visitors (not logged-in users).

   • 1 - for regular site users (logged-in).

   • 2 - for the site administrator.

2. A new filtering condition is needed in the recordset generated by the wizard (or the recordset you created before applying the server behavior): the value of the level_mnu column must be less than or equal to the kt_login_level session variable generated with MX User Login.
   The recordset generated by the wizard is already filtered by the visibility column. You can replace this filter or add a new one next to it:

3. • To replace the visibility filter, proceed like shown in the image below:
     
     
                                  

   • To add a new filter to the already existing one, switch to Advanced view in the Recordset dialog box, and add the new condition (for PHP: AND level_mnu <= kt_login_level) and the session variable (kt_login_level, having -1 as the Default Value, and $_SESSION['kt_login_level'] as the Run-time Value):
     
     

After filtering the recordset this way, different-level users will see different menu items in your site.
