  • Hi folks,

    I am making a website for two business activities that I would like to keep somewhat seperate. Please view http://www.anachoreo.com

    If a visiter enters the ‘hotel’ section, I like to hide ‘finance’ from the menu and vice versa. What code do I add to the header file?

    Any help is appreciated!

    PS: I have little experience in programming, everything in babysteps if you can 🙂

    You should setup multisite using subdomain like hotel.anachoreo.com and finance.anachoreo.com

    Here is a good video with the simple and easy way to setup your network. That way when you are in finance, you will only see finance stuff and vice versa.

    Considering your site is new with little to no content, I would wipe everything clean and start from scratch which all together should take you no more than about 30 mins to get back up and running with the desired results.

    If your hosting doesn’t support wildcard domains, then stick with the subdirectory method of anachoreo.com/finance when you start from scratch… the video goes over that point.

    I have considered multisite, but don’t deem it necessary. Simple customization of the menu should do the trick. Do you have any ideas on that?

    Customizing the menus in the manner you are seeking will entail more work than simply running a multi-site.

    You are looking to share members but keep content separate which is perfect for multi-site option. And it will allow your members once entered in specific area only see the section they are in and vice versa.

    Playing with the menus will take longer and hog more resources than simply enabling the multi-site feature which does this out the box at less time than waiting for a viable reply imo.

    I’m only saying this cause my site, I wanted to do the same and have cities, ie. Detroit, La, Miami, Chicago… It has been a headache asking for answers. Then someone pointed out the multi-site feature. I now have my cities and when you are in Detroit, you only see all things Detroit. If you wish to see the contents of another city, you simply click a drop down to access other networks. The best part is you can join up to your preferred network and not be bothered with the rest. After I watched that video, it took me a little less than 30 mins. That was due to my site being pretty much test install with content that was going to be quicker to add back than if I proceeded forward with trying to hide menus and etc.

    I appreciate your explanation. I thought of multisite but deemed it to be overkill. I’ll check your video and maybe reconsider.
