Happy Holidays and TIA:

I use a master page (Frontend.mater) in my aspx site that consists of a tree view menu. My problem is that one of my pages is my login page to the site which currently includes this master page (template). My sense is that my menu to the rest of my pages should only be seen AFTER a verified login.

Is there a way that I can: 1) Hide an entire treeview menu for this login page while keeping other controls, css, and scripts for the page. 2) Is it a matter of creating a second Frontend.master file for the login page with an empty <nav> section? 3) Other considerations?

Thanks, Cliff

Hi there,

Checkout Chapter 16 and look for the LoginView control, introduced on page 600.

Cheers,

Hi and TIA:

I have a treeview menu as part of a series of aspx pages. On all of the pages I want the treeview menu to show except for the login page.

I have accomplished making the treeview menu to not show on the login page by using

TreeView1.Visible = false;

in my Frontend.master.cs page under Page_Load.

My question has to do with the fact that now when I load the login.aspx page a "tiny horizonal slit" appears where the menu "begins" at the top left side of the page. This seems to be a type of "container" that is showing empty, but after reading and looking I am unable to completely delete and trace of the treeView menu on the login page.

Any ideas would be greatly helpful Thanks, Cliff

Could this be the container <nav> element or maybe the SiteMapPath showing up?

Try using your browser's developer tools (like FireBug on FireFox) and analyze the HTML. Try removing (or hiding by adding a CSS style of display: none) to the elements you see until they go away. Then you know what's causing it and make it go away server side.
