TinyPortal

I'm working with SMF and TP and I was wondering if there's anyway to have more than multiple menus displayed with each one having different content? Thanks

Hi,

Do you mean articles from different categories, ie. Portal Features and some 'Custom Category' appearing in a block together?

How do you want the categories rendered? ... and where?

They need to be in separate blocks and each block needs to be able to display different articles.

I'd like to use one menu block to display all the articles everyone can see.

Then use another menu block to display the articles that only a certain membergroup can see.

No, sorry you can't with the built in menu system. You'll need to create a custom menu. I have done that on my site. Theres a main Navigation menu and a menu that only 1 member group has access to.

How does one go about doing this?

Have a look in the Block Code Snippits board, there are some custom menu scripts there. Also try a search.
Lesmond posted a good one somewhere  :)

If you were to make a new category for articles and put your seperate hidden articles in that category then you should be able to make a 'article category' block in the block section and specify the new category as it's source.

The 'article category' block function lets you choose what category to feed from so you can choose your special category with hidden articles and just set the permissions for the 'article category' block to be viewable by only the group you want to see it.
