ASP Football Support Forum

I'm trying to add a link to the menu but it only works when the Admin is logged in. When a player is logged in, clicking on the menu item takes me back to the login page even though it shows I am logged in as a player. Can anyone tell me what I am doing wrong?

So in the code, the link must be added before this tag:

<%if IsAdmin() then %>

Anything after that is set to only show for the Admin.

I hope this helps. Let me know if you have any more problems.

Thanks for your response Russaholic. I was trying to add it after this code which in my menu.asp starts at line 10 right after the Home link. This is way above the <% if IsAdmin() then %> code you refer to. In looking at the code you provided, you have links that I don't seem to have although that shouldn't have anything to do with my problem. Any other suggestions?

Let me take a look at the original menu coding. I've altered mine so much over the years that it's probably completely different.

See the attached screenshot to see how I added my own menu dropdown on an early version of my site. It's pretty straight forward, but if you keep having issues, just copy over your entire code and I will make it work for you.

File = /includes/menu.asp
This will add another menu item, if I am understanding u correctly

always make backups before changing anything =)

Thanks for your response Stutgrtguy and I added my link exactly where you suggest I should add it. Unfortunately it did not work until I removed the code in the file that said it required a login to view it. The problem is that even if a player was logged in, clicking that link would take him back to the login page. I have it working now without having to log in.

would you like to add anothe menu item somewhere else othere than the message board, whats the end goal hereSorry my keyboard is messin up

Problem being that the message board menu is an "add on" so editing that menu is a little more complicated. you can add more menus and more menu items elsewhere easier

It doesn't matter where I add the link, unless I remove the requires login to view code in the file, it keeps sending the player to the login module.

gimme a sec havin keyboard issues, then ill get ya an example code

here's a copy of a menu I did long ago, just look for the "if SERVER_EMAIL_ENABLED then " in your /includes/menu.asp
adds a new menu and items with links
cut n paste, make backups!

change or delete as ya see fit
