Hi,
I'm sorry, but you'll have to contact Milonic directly. There isn't any volunteer on the forum now that knows things like cookie and js functions and such. I do know that there have been posts and solutions about using cookies and also other ways to do things like get special menus.

Permissions based menu
Poster: jgreeno
Dated: Wednesday January 16 2008 - 15:40:43 GMT
I have a need to display certain menus to certain people based on a grouping scheme within my site.
I use PHP to output the call the JS and I need the PHP to structure my permissions.
Basically this is the layout I need:
Code:
// Show everyone this menu
$menu[]="<script type=\"text/javascript\" src=\"js/milonic_src.js\"></script>";
$menu[]="<script type=\"text/javascript\" src=\"js/mmenudom.js\"></script>";
$menu[]="<script type=\"text/javascript\" src=\"js/alluser_menu_data.js\"></script>";
// Show bob his own menu along with the all user menu
if(user="bob"){
$menu[]="<script type=\"text/javascript\" src=\"js/milonic_src.js\"></script>";
$menu[]="<script type=\"text/javascript\" src=\"js/mmenudom.js\"></script>";
$menu[]="<script type=\"text/javascript\" src=\"js/bob_menu_data.js\"></script>";
}
// Show bob his own menu along with the all user menu but not bob's menu
if(user="dave"){
$menu[]="<script type=\"text/javascript\" src=\"js/milonic_src.js\"></script>";
$menu[]="<script type=\"text/javascript\" src=\"js/mmenudom.js\"></script>";
$menu[]="<script type=\"text/javascript\" src=\"js/bob_menu_data.js\"></script>";
}
$menu[]="<script type=\"text/javascript\" src=\"js/milonic_src.js\"></script>";
$menu[]="<script type=\"text/javascript\" src=\"js/mmenudom.js\"></script>";
$menu[]="<script type=\"text/javascript\" src=\"js/alluser_menu_data.js\"></script>";
// Show bob his own menu along with the all user menu
if(user="bob"){
$menu[]="<script type=\"text/javascript\" src=\"js/milonic_src.js\"></script>";
$menu[]="<script type=\"text/javascript\" src=\"js/mmenudom.js\"></script>";
$menu[]="<script type=\"text/javascript\" src=\"js/bob_menu_data.js\"></script>";
}
// Show bob his own menu along with the all user menu but not bob's menu
if(user="dave"){
$menu[]="<script type=\"text/javascript\" src=\"js/milonic_src.js\"></script>";
$menu[]="<script type=\"text/javascript\" src=\"js/mmenudom.js\"></script>";
$menu[]="<script type=\"text/javascript\" src=\"js/bob_menu_data.js\"></script>";
}
When I write my code like that I get nothing, no menu at all.. So, how can I get multiple menus onto the page simultaneously?
Thanks,
Justin

Also, have you considered using the php menu, or changing your menu_data.js file to menu_data.php. I know this site uses menu_data.php And if you have any kind of php statements you need to have that ending since it would then process the data file through the php processor or whatever it is called.

I tried changing it to menu_data.php and coding an if statement but it never evaluated correctly.. At any rate, after separating the menu into different parts, it works great.. I was even able to integrate the styling into my site's current style set.
What's funny is, I searched for a DHTML/JS menu solution for months and after many failed attempts, I just happened across Milonic.
After about 7 hours of coding and testing, I was able to put the menu into production and it works beautifully..

Well, I really like this menu, it's why I volunteer on the forum. It really is very easy to use and you can design it in so many ways.
I'm sure there is an easy way to do this, I just don't happen to have the knowledge. If you are a professional license or above user I suggest you fill out a support ticket at http://www.milonic.com/support/ You have to be logged in under the name used when you purchased the menu.
