Templates For Joomla User Types

Hi,

We are working with Joomla 1.5.23, Joomlart’s Job Board 1.5.3, and a template based on Joomlart’s T3 v.2 framework.

Our website, curriculum.bo, is a Job Portal and we have 3 user types; Guests (not logged in), Registered Job Seekers, and Registered Companies.

We have 3 different main menus. One for guest users(default), one for Job Seekers, and one for Employers.

On our T3 template we have 3 different profiles for our 3 different users, again, guests(default), job seekers and employers.

We use Job Boards menu components to let users login, and we redirect them to their respective menus (Job seeker menu or employer menu). On our T3 template, we assign each menu to their respective profiles so that the main menu changes accordingly.

It all works fine, until the user begins to browse around the site. For example, if an employer clicks on an applicants name to view his/her profile, the template profile switches to the default menu (which is for default for guest users), and the employer tools that are on the employer menu are gone.

We need a customized solution that would solve this problem. It can be a custom plugin, code, or something, that will let logged in users stick to their menu.

You can use a mirror site to test the issue (www.zonazerocorp.com) using bullanguero/bullanguero

I’m sure there are a lot of questions. Feel free to contact us.
