I know how to allow specific roles to see a menu item, but how do you allow all roles to see it? In other words, if a user is logged on, it's visible, else, no. Thanks for any help.

Hi,
You can set AlloweRoles to "*" to do that. These are all valid values:
1. Leave it empty. All visitors, regardless logged in or not, are allowed;
2. "*" (without quotation marks), only logged in users are allowed. This is your case;
3. "?" (without quotation marks), only anonymous users are allowed;
4. A list of real roles;
Thanks

I have tried the *, with no success. It still allows all viewing, even if not logged in.
I am using V3.1.11.2 if it makes a difference.
Any idea on what may be the problem?

Thank you for your quick replies!
Will you post when you get the bug fixed? Or how does that work?

Yes. We will reply in the forum and also provide you the download location of the new build. You MAY need a new license for the new build though because it would be for the current release, which is 2007.2. If you do not have a license for the current release, you can use the following code:
Code: Visual Basic.NET
Private Sub Page_Load( _
ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles MyBase.Load
Dim isAnonymous As Boolean = _
Not (HttpContext.Current.User Is Nothing) And _
Not (HttpContext.Current.User.Identity Is Nothing) And _
Not HttpContext.Current.User.Identity.IsAuthenticated
DisableItems(Menu1.Items, isAnonymous)
End Sub
Private Sub DisableItems( _
ByVal items As EO.Web.MenuItemCollection, _
ByVal isAnonymous As Boolean)
Dim item As EO.Web.MenuItem
For Each item In items
If item.AllowRoles = "*" And isAnonymous Then
item.Disabled = True
End If
DisableItems(item.SubMenu.Items, isAnonymous)
Next
End Sub
Thanks

EXCELLENT!!!
I must say a huge thank you, as well as how much I appreciate the prompt, and helpful support.
WELL DONE!
The code that you supplies works as a patch until the new build comes out.
Thanks again,
RocketDawg.

If I set AllowRoles="" then all users can see the menu item
If I set AllowRoles="?" no users can see the menu item
If I set AllowRoles="Administrator" only admin users can see the menu item
I need to set a menu item that only anonymous users can see it, am I missing something in my web.config?
I have it working find for Set Roles in dedicated sub directories, but now I want only anonymous users to see a menu item and page for a specific file in the root.

Hi Justin,
In your case, you would set all the items who you do not want anonymous users to see as "*", and leave other items blank. You can then use the sample code provided in the previous post to translate AllowRoles into MenuItem.Enabled/Visible.
Thanks
