Possible bug: Directory menu item missing for logged-out visitors

Hi Dragan,

I’ve noticed a possible issue with the Directory entry in the portal’s main navigation.

My settings are:

  • Menu placement: “Top only”
  • Access: “Everyone”

When I’m logged in as an admin, the Directory menu item appears correctly in the community main navigation. When I’m logged out, it disappears—even though the Directory page itself is still accessible via its direct URL.

With the same settings, the Events menu item remains visible when logged out, so the behaviour appears to differ between the two extensions.

I would expect the Directory navigation item to remain visible to logged-out visitors when access is set to “Everyone”.

Could you check whether this is a bug or whether another setting might be affecting the menu visibility?

Thank you! Jochen

Hello Jochen,

Thank you for this very clear report!

You’re right, this was a bug in the Directory, not a setting on your side. The Directory link was only shown when the Members link was visible, and Fluent hides Members from logged-out visitors.

The fix comes with the next Directory update today (1.18.7). The Directory link is now part of the Fluent Community menu, just like Events. With access set to “Everyone”, every visitor will see it, logged in or not. Your “Top only” choice stays as it is.

You can see the details in the changelog: https://sdravobiz.com/en/changelog/?app=fc-extensions

Thanks again!
Dragan
