I did finally get this wrong. I had used the name wrong. Also, with existing users, if you add a menu and by default it is not selected, for some reason the existing users would see the menu until I clicked save in their profile.
Exactly - the second issue is because the field has no value when created, for existing users. This is a bug in CB, in my opinion. When creating a new field, if a default value is given, CB should also set that value for all users when creating the field.
Me, I usually go directly into SQL and do an "UPDATE #__comprofiler SET fieldname=value" to set everyone's value after creating the field.
Like I said, this is a hack, at best, to achieve the functionality until Joomla 1.6 is available.
Could one of you that has got it working please tell me where I'm going wrong? Apologies if it's long-winded...
Starting from the start, I install the module and it creates an entry in the Module of type mod_cbcmenu, I give it a Title, in this example "Test". I then go through to the CB Master Switch field, in there I put something, for example "CBMSField".
I already have a menu called "mainmenu" that has items on it. Do I now use the drop down menu for Menu Name and select "mainmenu" to make my already created menu Conditional?
For arguments sake, I have selected that. I change the radio button that says 'Hide menu from Guest' from No to Yes as I don't want this menu to show up unless someone logs in. All the other settings I have left.
At this point I save that and test it out, the Main Menu still shows.
I continue on anyway and create a field in Community Builder. Create field, Check Box (Single), in the name I put cbcmCBMSField, which changes to cb_cbcmCBMSField when I go to the next field. Give it a Title "Test CB", then leave all other settings and hit Save.
I then go to my test user, and make sure it is NOT ticked as I want to make it not show up as it is currently showing up no matter what I do. It is unticked, so I hit Save. Log in using that test account, and the menu is still there.
Is there something I'm not doing right up to this point?
Ok, I've removed the text in the master switch field and deleted that field in Community Builder.
You say I didn't mention about assigning the alias to the menu. Where do I do that? Do I have to go into Menu Manager and create a new menu? Cause when I do that, it puts a new entry in the module manager and the type isn't mod_cbmenu it's mod_mainmenu. Nowhere in the existing one or in that new one does it have anything for an alias.
When I know where to put an alias in, then I can create a field for it in Community Builder to correspond with it.
