These seem like completely different questions to me.

Kunjan,

Currently the Admin section doesn't have any feature allowing the layout to be customized. In the future I plan to do some work to improve the layout of the Admin section using some Ajax things like dojo but it is not my goal or intention to make the layout of the admin customizable per se. Maybe if I find any easy to use thing in dojo for draggable dockable panels I will provide for some arranging things, we shall see. I would consider adding an option that allows specifying a skin for the admin section separate from the main site skin but there is currently no such option and changing the skin doesn't really change the layout of the Admin features.

Todd,

Your question is about showing and hiding pages in the menu depending on whether the user is logged in. mojoPortal has an Authenticated Users role that all users are automatically added to making it easy to create pages that are only visible when logged in by making them visble to "Authenticated Users" role.

We do not currently have a feature for hiding pages from authenticated users, only for hiding pages from unauthenticated users or from users not in the allowed roles. It would be easy enough to add an option in Page Settings for "Hide From Authenticated" so that we can support pages that go away after you login. I will look into doing that sometime soon.

Best,

Joe

Hi,

I will implement the "Hide From Authenticated" page setting soon but note it is not going to be a security role. In the case of making a page visible to authenticated users we can use a role but in making something not visible to authenticated there is no role to use as roles are only associated with authenticated users. We cannot create a role for unauthenticated as by definition to check your roles you must be authenticated.

So basically the logic will be

if((page.HideFromAuthenticated)&&(Request.IsAuthenticated))
{
// logic to hide the page

}

When implemented this code will live in the databinding events of the menus and sitemaps.

Best,

Joe
