The option to "Show Private Menu Options with Padlock on side menu " warrants some explanation.

Consider the following situation:

Private member's only content exist in a document
We won't to advertise to members that the content exists before they login
We want to force someone to login before they can see the content, but direct the to the content in question

 

To handle this common requirement, if this option is set to "Yes", NeatClubs.COM will display private side menu items, but indicate that they are private by showing a padlock in the locked position in cases where the menu item links to a document.

If the site visitor clicks on the locked menu item they will be directed to the login screen, and assuming they login successfully will be directed to the site document referenced in the menu setup.

This provides a simple way to make it know site visitors that protected content is available, and to provide those with usernames and passwords fast access to the content.
