Modules Shown Only to Logged In Users

Modules can be shown only to logged in users of your Mambo web site through the use of PHP in your Mambo templates. Below, I show you how to hide modules from from site visitors and have them displayed to registered users who have logged in. This is achieved by a small snippet of PHP code that tells Mambo when to display the module.

Example:

<?php if ( $my->id ) {
  mosLoadModules('logged_in_position');
} ?> 

- where logged_in_position is whatever position name you choose for the module you wish to show to registered/logged in users.

If you want to display one module for logged in users and a different module to site visitors that are not logged in, use this:

<?php    if ( $my->id ) {
     mosLoadModules('logged_in_position');
} else {
     mosLoadModules('other_position');
} ?> 

- where other position is whatever module position you wish to display to visitors who are not logged on.
