<xen:if is="!{xen:helper ismemberof, $visitor, x, y}"><xen:if is="{$visitor.is_admin}">
I found that if the new template navigation_admin template is created after the navigation_visitor_tab template is changed the admin menu item doesn't show. Try opening the navigation_visitor_tab template and just saving it again so the template registers the new navigation_admin template which is called at the bottom of it.Nice menu system/resource. It is much appreciated.
I managed to get everything working except the navigation_admin/navigation_user (I tried naming the template both of those without any luck). Had quite a bit of trouble with my color layout and the side bar though....might work better if the menu icon at the top worked on the same color scheme as the sidebar below it.) Nothing showing up for admin privileges.
Perhaps if I used a different conditional statement for the user group I'd have some luck? Maybe:
instead ofCode:<xen:if is="!{xen:helper ismemberof, $visitor, x, y}">
?Code:<xen:if is="{$visitor.is_admin}">
I found where I screwed up.

</xen:if>
