Does the left navigation bar on our web pages allow for any logic / customization? For example, can we hide the "Join Now" link if you're logged in and already a member?

Yes you can customize nav bar using CSS, e.g. to put your nav bar on right side you can use: (insert in Settings / Advanced customization (css) )

#idNavigationContainer {float: right;}
#idPrimaryContentContainer {margin-left: 0px;}

To hide the Join Now page when logged in you can use the following script: (insert in Settings / Global javascript) - we have already done this for you!!!

<script>
if (!document.getElementById('idLoginUserName'))
{ var menuItem = document.getElementById('idMainMenuItem161946');
if (menuItem) {menuItem.style.display = 'none';}}
</script>

Can I use this exact script too?  Or do I need to get my own idMainMenuxxx name to fill in?  If so, how/where do I look to get the name?  Thanks.  This is useful.

You can use it and yes, you would need to adjust the menu id.

These two pages have some info which should help to find it:

This works great except for the fact that the menu item disappears even when I'm logged in as an administrator, which means I can't edit the 'Join' page or its subpages.  Is there a way around this?  Otherwise it's great.

I am sure there is a work around this issue but unfortunately this is out of our technical support service. We would suggest to work with JavaScript consultant for further customization. See: http://help.wildapricot.com/display/DOC/Partner+directory

You could simply adjust the opening if..condition. Instead of checking for a general is-logged-in state, check for a condition that only applies to logged member but not admin, e.g. view profile link only applies to logged member. Using firebug, you can locate the view profile element id, (which is 'ctl03_Authentication_loginViewControl_profileBox' in this case), and so the logic (1st line) becomes:

if (document.getElementById('ctl03_Authentication_loginViewControl_profileBox'))..

and everything else remains the same.
