Re: Newbie Q's - Contact and Menus
Contact Us (Anonymous) works as it does for registered users in my Tiki 1.9.3 site, but at my 1.8.5 site, it just provides a mailto link. I don't recall doing anything special for this feature, so maybe the answer is to wait for a secure 1.9 release. Or look at the files to see about implementing the change for 1.8.5.
All menu configuration takes place on the Admin Menus page (tiki-admin_menus.php). To edit the default menu (menu ID 42), click on its options icon (the wrench and screwdriver). Just hit the delete icon (X) for any item you don't want. This is a deletion, not a disabling.
Rather than modify the default menu, you can also make a new menu of your own. Look at the existing menu(s) to get an idea of what does what. The Section items are the top menu things you see when the menu sections are closed, and the options are the items under each Section item. Menu items are displayed in numerical order, but the numbers don't have to be sequential. If you are making your own new menu, its a good idea to leave numbers available in between things so that you don't have to renumber lower-down items later on.
(In my experience, menu item types "sorted sections" and "separators" don't do anything at all. There seems to be a bug here. So I just use "section" and "option".)
The menus are put into use by putting them in a module, assuming you want them in the left or right side columns. Go to the Admin Modules page, and go down to the bottom, to the edit/create module section. If you have made a new menu already, you can select it from the links at the right of the editing area.
It's easy to use phplayers menues, also. First, turn this feature on on the Admin/Features page. Then just select your chosen menu and click "use phplayers menu", on the Admin Modules page. Not all Tiki themes have phplayers styles specified in their CSS file, IIRC, but it is easy enough to copy and paste the phplayers bits from one that does, and modify it to suit the theme, if you don't mind the CSS file editing.
If you want to have a horizontal menu, one method is to put, e.g., {phplayers id=43 type=horiz} at the appropriate place in your tiki.tpl or tiki-top_bar.tpl template file. At my family site, the line goes right after the tiki-top_bar.tpl include statement. Another example is at http://phinixi.com. These are both themes I did myself.
As for deleting a created level, I don't see any mechanism to do that within Tiki. If you can access your Tiki database with phpMyAdmin, etc., you could look at the users_permissions table, and perhaps delete all rows that contain the created level.
