Manipulating Navigation Menus

Adding the following code to the buildSidebar() function in include/Skins.php will cause an empty menu to be used when no use is logged in.

 (Around line 1608 in include/Skins.php)

        function buildSidebar() {
                global $parserMemc, $wgEnableSidebarCache;
                global $wgLang, $wgContLang;

                #----- PLH 20070728 --------------------------------------

                global $wgUser;

                if (!$wgUser->isLoggedIn()) {
                        return array();
                }
