Title says it all. My forum is private (password protected), and not listed in my site’s menu.

How/where can I place a link back to the forum if users (who have forum password) click on the Forum Members link. Currently the only way is the back button in browser.

Thanks!

Add the link and hide it, then make it only visible if user is logged it… Literally u just said it

My question was how do I add the link…

@rachelalvarez Did I get right what you’re trying to accomplish? You want to show a link to your forum only if the user is logged in?

I have something similar on my members login page where only members info shows up when a member has logged into the site.

This is my code below for that page, take it and use it to incorporate something like this into your code:

// For full API documentation, including code examples, visit http://wix.to/94BuAAs
$w.onReady(function () {
//TODO: write your page related code here...

});
import wixUsers from 'wix-users';
import wixData from 'wix-data';
import wixLocation from 'wix-location';

$w.onReady( () => {
if(wixUsers.currentUser.loggedIn) {
$w("#loginbutton").label = "Logout";
$w("#membersareaonlystrip").expand();
$w("#whitegapforfooter").hide();

}
else {
$w("#loginbutton").label = "Login";
$w("#membersareaonlystrip").collapse();
$w("#whitegapforfooter ").show();

}
} );

export function loginbutton_onclick(event) { 
// user is logged in
if(wixUsers.currentUser.loggedIn) {
// log the user out
wixUsers.logout()
.then( () => {
// update buttons accordingly
$w("#loginbutton").label = "Login";
  $w("#membersareaonlystrip").collapse();
  $w("#whitegapforfooter ").show();
  
} );
}
// user is logged out
else {
let userId;
let userEmail;

// prompt the user to log in 
wixUsers.promptLogin( {"mode": "login"} )
.then( (user) => {
userId = user.id;
return user.getEmail();
} )
.then( (email) => {
// check if there is an item for the user in the collection
userEmail = email;
return wixData.query("Members")
.eq("_id", userId)
.find();
} )
.then( (results) => {
// if an item for the user is not found
if (results.items.length === 0) {
// create an item
const toInsert = {
"_id": userId,
"email": userEmail
};
// add the item to the collection
wixData.insert("Members", toInsert)
.catch( (err) => {
console.log(err);
} );
}
// update buttons accordingly
$w("#loginbutton").label = "Logout";
 $w("#membersareaonlystrip").expand();
$w("#whitegapforfooter").hide();

} )
.catch( (err) => {
console.log(err);
} );
}
}

export function profilebutton_onclick(event) {
wixLocation.to(`/Members/${wixUsers.currentUser.id}`); 
}

export function entermembersbutton_onclick(event) {
wixLocation.to(`/members-area`); 
}

export function myaccountbutton_onclick(event) {
wixLocation.to(`/account/my-account`); 
}

export function websiteupdatebutton_onclick(event) {
wixLocation.to(`/website-update`); 
}
