[SOLVED] Hide "Login" menu item when logged in? was created by tymcode
This is probably basic but I'm stumped.
I have a menu item that loads CB Login. I have a user type called Guest-only -- anything with that access level will not be seen once the user logs in. If I set that menu item to Guest-only, once the login is complete, the user can no longer see the CB login -- it actually returns an access error.
So how do I hide the menu item without denying access to the component that it displays? What am I missing?

Joomla permissions don't work in reverse so you can't remove something by giving the user more permissions (e.g. going from Public to Registered). Only way to do this is with a dynamic menu, a menu module that has a specific spot for login/logout links, or template with specific module position. You could also use CB Content module and construct a menu with HTML as this will allow you to use substitutions so you could have dynamic links based off various profile credentials. It maybe possible on J1.7 with a new accesslevel that includes Public yet not Registered, but I haven't tried that.

just to make my last comment complete... a special mod_mainmenu from metamod people:
ElastiMenu
ElastiMenu is a Menu Module based on the standard Joomla “Mainmenu” module, with several key enhancements:
"It can combine more than one source menu. This makes it easy to mix-and-match menu items into one visible menu. e.g. you can have a main menu that doesn’t include login or logout items, then combine it with a menu that has one or the other, then display these at different times, all as a single module.
You can selectively exclude menu items from the menu. So if you want to exclude a certain menu item for certain pages, you can set up an ElastiMenu that uses the same source menu, but just excludes a certain item.
You can selectively include particular menu items, thus automatically excluding any items not mentioned in the list.
It’s compatible with MetaMod, so you can use MetaMod to programatically include/exclude certain menu items based on date/time/GeoIP/content/page etc."
