Default.

Index.template.php

Code (Find) Select Expand


// Show a random news item? (or you could pick one from news_lines...)
if (!empty($settings['enable_news']))
echo '
<div id="random_news"><h3>', $txt['news'], ':</h3><p>', $context['random_news_line'], '</p></div>';

Code (Replace with) Select Expand


// Show a random news item? (or you could pick one from news_lines...)
if ($context['user']['is_logged'] && $settings['enable_news'])
echo '
<div id="random_news"><h3>', $txt['news'], ':</h3><p>', $context['random_news_line'], '</p></div>';

Make a backup, I haven't tested this

That appears to work.  Thanks.  Now the search engine trolls will quit hitting all the links I have in the news pointing to different things in the forum.  This should definitely be made an option in SMF.
