disable 'Recent Posts' & 'News Fader' for guests

[steve51184]

is there anyway to disable 'Recent Posts' & 'News Fader' for guests as it's really something they should/don't wan to see

thanks

[steve51184]

right i've managed to disable the news fader for guests:

in '/Sources/Subs.php'

Code (find) Select Expand

// Get some news..

Code (add after) Select Expand

if (!$user_info['is_guest'])

but for the life of me i can't get the recent post bit disabled for guests

i've tried:

in '/Themes/default/BoardIndex.template.php'

Code (find) Select Expand

// This is the "Recent Posts" bar.

Code (add after) Select Expand

if (!$user_info['is_guest'])

but that didn't work at all... any ideas please?

hmm disabling the fader like that outputs this error (x2) for guests:

Code Select Expand

Undefined index: news_lines

so i had to take it off... back to square one lol

been trying that didn't work

In BoardIndex.template.php

Find:

Code Select Expand

    // This is the "Recent Posts" bar.
    if (!empty($settings['number_recent_posts']))


Replace with:

Code Select Expand

    // This is the "Recent Posts" bar.
    if ((!$context['user']['is_guest']) && !empty($settings['number_recent_posts']))

worked fine for me on RC3

cool will test that out in a bit thank you any idea about the news fader?

[Joker™]

For news fader

In BoardIndex.template.php

Find:

Code Select Expand

// Show the news fader?  (assuming there are things to show...)
    if ($settings['show_newsfader'] && !empty($context['fader_news_lines']))

Replace:

Code Select Expand

// Show the news fader?  (assuming there are things to show...)
       if ((!$context['user']['is_guest']) && ($settings['show_newsfader']) && !empty($context['fader_news_lines']))

sweet thank you very much

[Joker™]

your welcome . if your problem is solved can you mark the topic solved !

[steve51184]

ok ty very much but i have one last question how would i disable this mod for guests:

http://custom.simplemachines.org/mods/index.php?mod=2274

seems a little different but still a simple mod

[Joker™]

that mod isn't compatible with RC3 ,

It's working fine on RC2
so to hide it on RC2 you can make following changes

in BoardIndex.template.php

Find:

            echo '
    <h4 class="titlebg"><span class="left"></span>
            <span>'. $txt['num_last_24'] .' : ' .$context['num_last_24']. '</span></h4><p class="pminfo">';
        echo implode(', ', $context['list_last_24']);
        echo '</p>';   


Replace:

Code Select Expand

    if(!$context['user']['is_guest'])
    {
        echo '
            <h4 class="titlebg"><span class="left"></span>
            <span>'. $txt['num_last_24'] .' : ' .$context['num_last_24']. '</span></h4><p class="pminfo">';
        echo implode(', ', $context['list_last_24']);
        echo '</p>';
    }


if you have a copy of mod for RC3 i can look into it also to hide it from guests
