Showing menu items the user does not have access to

Hi, Skaaraas
Sorry........
I could not understand your problem very well so let me clear that you have the problem of disappering the menu when you click on the subfolder

so you wnat to set the path related to it????

Right?

Maybe I didn't make this clear enough. I use the default menu template's way of building the menu, which lists all sub-folders, but only those folders the current user has read rights to. I want to show the folders the user does not have access to, but display a login page instead.

So problem #1 is missing menu items (considering just building this manually)

The "content" block does this already ($module_result.content} but the path does not. So I get the login page where the content should be, BUT with a "Kernel error (1)" where the path should be.

So problem #2 is a kernel error on the login page.

If I could do something like this in path.tpl:

"Section show=module.isReadable()"
(...current code)
"Section-else"
Access denied
"Section-end"

That would work just fine, but I can't figure out just how. Right now I think I'll just build the menu manually to add the "missing" links, but I still need to fix the path so that it'll only access the module if the module is readable.

Sounds like you need to use the node limitation available in newer version of ez. (can't remember which version it starts in) Just grant the ability to read your non member sections then create a seperate policy to allow read access on only the top level nodes of the members only folders.
