3.0 Hide Items When Signed In

What if you have items on your 3.0 site which are there to attract and entice a new visitor, but you don't need/want them to show to an existing member?  Things like a testimonial, "about us" video, other banners or sliders?  You can hide them all to a signed in member (which allows more true content to be viewed)..........by inserting a "class" in each and using one custom code to hide them all.  Note:  This only works if the items are in a HTML/text box - not if in the above-header area.

Place the following in front of your HTML code.  It gives a "class name" to whatever content is placed between the <div>


<div class="hideit">
YOUR CONTENT OR BANNER CODE GOES HERE
</div>


Place this in your Custom Code area.  It will hide anything that has the "hideit" class:


<!-- Hidden areas when signed in -->
<script type="text/javascript">
if (ning.CurrentProfile != null)
x$('.grid-frame.sheet.section-html:has(.hideit)').hide();
</script>
<!-- end hidden areas when signed in -->

I have learned soooo much since being with Ning and I cannot thank all the generous Ning Creators enough.  I try to pay it forward in whatever small way I can.  Hat tip on this one to SweetPotato when he helped me "hide" my slider when a member is signed in.  This has opened up many more ideas for me (and believe me, I'm not a coder!)  I don't think this is any big design secret that I'm giving away here but to a schlep like me, it's gold!  *lol*

        Thanks, Kos. And to you, too! I regret not being able to help out much these days, family illness and work. But, always moving forward...

        =)

  • Awesome Tip Kos, thanks for sharing :)

  • Great tip Kos. Blessings.
