I'd like to have two versions of navigation menu (both are in header section)

1. Complete one - visible only from one static IP adress
2. Without one menu position - for the rest IPs

I tried to modify existing pagelayout.tpl in order to make visible menu by insertion of similar code, given below (copmarison of IP adress and then generate apropriate page version) 

$adress="172.30.34.123";
//------
  $ip = gethostbyname("$REMOTE_ADDR");
  $OK=false;
  $OK=(strncmp($adress,$ip,strlen($adress))==0);

etc.etc.

But it seems not to be good idea, cause it doesn't work corretly

Could you advise how to do it?

Hi Marek!

Can you use SSI? If yes, then you could get the IP with:

var ip = '<!--#echo var="REMOTE_ADDR"-->'

if (ip == '172.30.34.123') {
   document.write(' _NAVIGATION_FULL_CODE_');
}
else {
  document.write(' _NAVIGATION_LIMITED_CODE_'); 
}

You could e.g. have two tpl-files of which you include the right one.
