Registered users count as guests
Permalink 1 user found helpful
Currently in C5 Registered user count as guests, by using advanced, or simple permissions, i cannot make it so for example:
a guest sees a notification to login
i remove the read permission from registered users for the block/area, registered users can still see it as they are still counted as guests,
i think that guests should just be an undeletable group separate from all other users.
Anyone found a way around this?
(yes i know i can use the php code isloggedin)

Well i think that permissions should be separate, and be strict to each group
Hi I think I am having the same problem.
I have a page which needs to appear in the main nav.
If a guest clicks the menu item in the nav they need to see a message on that page: "Please login to view this page" but no other content. If a logged in user clicks the same link they need to see the content but NOT the "Please login" message.
I have spent all day on the forum trying to find an answer.
Alternatively something like: guest user clicks the menu item - redirected to login, logged in user clicks the menu item, goes straight to page.
I am not an experienced PHP developer, although I am not scared of pasting a bit of code into the PHP files.
Does anyone have a solution with easy to follow instructions of where to add code to make this work?
I have looked at the screencast from Dojo about using the member profile page but I don't know how to get rid of all the other stuff that's on that page by default - looks like I'd have to play with the PHP to fix that anyway.
THanks,
Al

wow old thread,
what you can do is use the Guest Views package (free)
and then for the areas you don't want guests to see
(enable advanced permissions) click on the area hit permissions and make it so that guests cannot view

Fab - that looks like just what I need!
What a relief.
Thank you.

A registered user should be a guest too imho - it would cause lots of problems if that would change. I and probably a lot more people depend on this - guest basically means visible to the public and I don't want to have to duplicate content blocks to make sure both groups can see them...
I can see that this is annyoing in your situation but I think it's useful in most situations...
What's wrong with isLoggedIn?
