buddybar menu add-ons

I have used a nice little snippet of code (thanks Burtadsit) to add a few items to the buddybar menu. I would like to be sure they are only visible when the user is logged in.

Now I need to know how to keep these new menu items hidden until a user is logged in.

Any ideas?

Here’s the code I found earlier:

Wrap a button in if ( is_user_logged_in() ) { and }. Only logged in users will see it.

Hey Boone, is there a way to do something like if a logged in user clicks the button he goes to /blabla and if a guest clicks the button he goes to /registerfirst?

Add an else statement to the code Boone posted.
```
<?php if(is_user_logged_in()) : ?>

<a href="LINK TO WHERE YOU WANT THE LOGGED IN USER TO GO"><img src="YOUR BUTTON" alt="" /></a>

<?php else : ?>

<a href="LINK TO WHERE YOU WANT PEOPLE WHO ARE NOT LOGGED IN TO GO"><img src="YOUR BUTTON" alt="" /></a>

<?php endif; ?>
```
Sorry for the caps!

They might work for a button but, what about a function like so……

//*********Site Navigation*********//
```
function site_nav_links(){ ?>

Explore

<ul class=”your-ul-list-css-classname”>

Blog

Members

<li class=”alt”>Groups

Forums

<li class=”alt”>Blogs

<?php

}
```
I tried a hundred ways and all I get is a white screen. I am not sure if I am writing the loggin user part correctly or not. The above function works well for the public but, once you try to hide it from the public it goes blank. I have almost given up.
