How To Show or Hide Rainmaker Menu Items

Below is a sample lesson from my upcoming course Easy Rainmaker Course Creation.

If you’re a Rainmaker user and you want to maximize the power of the platform by building and selling a course then this lesson and the rest of the course are going to help you get it done fast!

Why hide menu items?

Hiding menu items based on a customer being logged in achieves more than one thing in your Rainmaker menu. It cleans up your Rainmaker menu, showing only the necessary items. It also gives members a more customized experience. They “feel” logged in when their Rainmaker menu changes. Lastly, customizing your Rainmaker menu minimizes confusion for customers and non-customers because they don’t see buttons that don’t apply to them.

How To Build a Customized Rainmaker Menu

1. Build your menu Go to ‘Design’ —> ‘Menus’ and add all the buttons you want to show members as well as non-members.
 
2. Enable CSS Classes option Click on ‘Admin Screen Options’ in the top right corner and check the box beside the ‘CSS Classes’ box.
 
3. Designate Buttons Open up each member menu tab by clicking on the arrow to the right of the tab’s name and add the class of your choice.

nonmember-menu = Non-members will see this but members will not.

member-menu =  Only members will see this tab

Leave blank = Leave the area blank if you want the tab visible at all times.
 
4. Save the menu.
 
5. Add CSS Code Add the following code to the ‘Design’ —> ‘Custom CSS’ area:

/* Hide buttons from members and non-members ———————————————————— */

.genesis-nav-menu .nonmember-menu a { display:block } .logged-in

.genesis-nav-menu .nonmember-menu a { display:none }

.genesis-nav-menu .member-menu a { display:none } .logged-in

.genesis-nav-menu .member-menu a { display:block }
 
6. Save the Stylesheet

Why Is Rainmaker A Great Tool?

People who use Rainmaker are serious about using their site to build a platform, increase their reach and often times monetize their skills.

Rainmaker is a great tool for any content creator that wants to blog regularly, create podcasts with ease and sell digital goods with great landing pages and a private membership area. The tool is great and getting better all the time.

So What’s Missing From Rainmaker?

Rainmaker is a like most great tools, it’s great if you know how to use it and it’s useless if you don’t. To use Rainmaker well you should be creating great content and creating courses. I know Rainmaker tips that will save you hundreds of hours of searching and experimenting. Most of us need someone that can walk us through the steps. Creating a marketable course and building a great looking landing page to drive your visitors to is key to making money on the Rainmaker platform.

How Will Rainmaker Coaching Help?

Just a few months ago I started a group to gather and help other Rainmaker users. In that short time we’ve grown to hundreds of members and are actively helping each other succeed using Rainmaker, sharing Rainmaker tips and practical experiences on the platform. As the leader of that community I have a deep understanding of the different strategies Rainmaker users are implementing. You can only deploy strategy if you know how to use the tools available. I also understand the technical capabilities of Rainmaker. You’ll learn the Rainmaker tips and strategy necessary to get the most out of the tool.
