So, how are you supposed to deal with navigation for members?
When no members are logged in, you can have a static menu, no problem.
When members are logged in … welll, menus do not appear to be accessible with the selector $w, so we can’t change them to give logged-in members more options.
So you are forced to make your own solution (another workaround, read “hack”) … make a repeater which functions as a menu.
Trouble is, the original static menu still needs to be visible, and the “Current Page” indicator can not be updated to reflect the member’s-only page we are now on.
What a mess. Wix staff (or anyone else), am I missing something?
Hi!
No, there is no way to work with menus right now. Feel free to add feature request here:
So 2 ways:
- Recreate navigation functionality with wixLocation.to()
- Forget about “current page” indicator (changing colors for example), just add “my profile” button (or any other you want, accsessible only by members)
Hi there,
I’m a newbie here and DEFINITELY NOT a wix code specialist. But when I read this post, the 1st thought that crossed my mind was to add a drop menu where you could simply put the index of the members only pages, that when you choose the one you want it links to its URL.
I, personally, wanted a link on ALL pages to my manager’s members only page, so I just put a button in the header linking to it. That could be another solution… no?
Finally there’s the menu, but I see its restrictions that you need to make the pages visible to see them in the menu, so obviouslly, that doesn’t seem to do the trick. Unless there’s a way to hack it into showing hidden pages?
Wix seems to have TONS of features to add or improve, but I like it until now 
Let’s just hope they don’t let us down and continue updating
