Two Questions

How do I change the dashbord in the menu builder once the user is logged in or any item for that matter.  I have the main menu set up perfectly when the user is logged out however when they log in it becomes a little hairy.

Secondly, How to I get rid of that Photo Slide show on the main page of all Boonex website.  Is this a module to deactivate or do I need to delete it from the files all together.

Thanks sorry for the newbie questions, I have to learn some how.

In the navigation builer, you can ssign menu items to either or both guests/members. In settings, basic settings, you can disable the revolving banner abortion module down near the bottom of the page

So If I wanted the menu to look a certain way when the user is logged in vs. logged out how do I do that.  I see the members / guest option but that doesnt control the layout for one state vs. another or am I wrong?

Thanks,

I need to say again Im referring to layout, and not whether the menu item is visible or not on the condition of logged in vs non-logged in.

Thanks,

Click and drag the menu items to where you want from the navigation builder menu.

Hint: Watch the Dolphin 7 video located on the main page, you will see some features not explained...Dolphin 7

I think what he's referring to is a type of switch here for logged vs. not logged.

If your trying to change what menu items appear vs. not appeared that is done in the Navigation Menu Builders.

If you want to change what color menu items are then you will need to install a new header.html file for logged vs. not logged (that means 2 of them) and you will also need a 2nd general.css file (one for logged and one for not logged).  Playbox does this all the time with templates, it's the same theory, only instead of the member clicking a switch, it's happening automatically based upon logged or not logged.  Not that hard really.

Sounds like you've already spent some time with  Page Builders --> Menu Builder.  That's the menu layout.   There is only one, you edited by dragging those boxes around.  Why it looks hairy after logging in is the buttons you've lost to "shows for guests only".  

        For Example, The first 5 things in the menu are  Home, Join (says Account), Dashboard, MyProfile and Mail.   

The display state is what makes the layout LOOK different depending on if you're logged in or not.  The UnSeen ones are crossed out here.

If Logged in you'll see  : Home   |  Join   | Dashboard |  MyProfile |  Mail   | People | For..

Not logged in will see   : Home   |  Join  | Dashboard | MyProfile |  Mail  |  People |  Forum..

It looks now that your guests menu is [Home Join People Forum] etc.  But it's the exact same menu as your members with visibility toggled to suit.

Once you've dragged things around to the right order, then you "enhance" your display for members or non-members by turning visibility on or off.  Then if you're like a lot of us me, you'll spend untold hours effing it up, then come back and look for the automatic reset to defaults.  Cuz it's seriously a pain to fix if you stir it up too much, and the defaults start looking pretty good!

Now, the other builder, the "Member Menu builder" is for that bar that is normally on the bottom of the browser frame. Whole nuther ball of wax. "Top" is the two buttons on the left, usually username profile link, and status button. "Top Extra" is the links on the far right end of the bar. 

As for your Q about changing the dashboard, the actual "dashboard" page is called "My Account" and can be edited for layout in page builder, select "Account" from the dropdown menu. Only shows the boxes that display though.  I'm not at all sure on the order of the menu that displays on that page though. (home avatar, activity, my membership, privacy, subscriptions, etc)  might be a default thing with order controlled in the DB or the html for that page.   Someone will know. 

Edit:  Dayum, I went thru all that to find already answered.  I'm going for a beer.  back later. lol.

Thanks, to everyone that helped on the questions.  I got the menu links working now back to the large rotation images on the main page.  I turned that off in the basic settings > promo I switch it to an html block.  However, the outline of the collasped rectangle still appears how do I rid this rectangle.

Thanks,

Justin

Are you referring to the Promo block? If so, you can learn how to remove it from here: http://www.boonex.com/unity/forums/topic/how-to-delete-the-promo-block-.htm
