Hi all

I have created some extra joomla usergroups (students on different levels), and these I want them to have access to different mega menu items. However, the mega menu has not detected the new created usergroups, all options I have in the mega menu configuration is the default guest, public, registered, and special usergroups.

BTW, I have also created the corresponding Access Viewing Levels for these student groups, but that does not help.

How can I get the mega menu to display and let me configure different settings for my other created usergroups?

Did you define new student group on your site like as this tutorial here: http://docs.joomla.org/J2.5:Access_Control_List_Tutorial ?

Hi Ninja

Yes, I have created the user groups, and also created the corresponding access levels where the usergroups are assigned to.

Lets say I have 3 student groups (usergroups)
Studentgroup1
Studentgroup2
Studentgroup3

Then I have created access levels
Access Level All Students – In this access level I have ticked all 3 studentgroups
Access Level Studentgroup1 – In this access leve I have ticked only Studentgroup1
Access Level Studentgroup2 – In this access level I have ticked only Studentgroup2
And so on…

So in the “Viewing Access Level” I have the following:
Guests
Public
Registered
Special
Super Users
Studentgroup1
Studentgroup2
Studentgroup3
All Students

Still, in the mega menu only guests, public, registerd, special and superusers shows up.

I found some threads discussing about the same concern in T3 forum:

Thank you Ninja. I read the T3 forum posts you referred to, interesting challenges. I must investigate further.

I have been waiting for this feature for months. I don’t understand why someone hasn’t listened to Sophist-UK and tried to implement it. It seems as if he spelled out completely what needs to be done.
