About the warning message for visitors

[hatmak]

Hello;

To prevent visitors from seeing the forum, I removed the "Allow guests to browse the forum" tick. Now, when visitors click on the forum menu, they cannot see the forum and a warning and login page appears as below. But I have a login menu and I don't want a separate login page to appear again when they click on the forum menu. I just I want the warning to appear. I want to delete the log in section. How can I do this?

You can't without a very nasty set of changes - the login popup shares the same code as the login page for showing the form.

But I have a login menu

Hmm, not sure what this means, but if you remove the login section from the warning window in Login.template.php, the header Login button still works.  Maintenance mode admin login is not affected.

[Arantor]

The one he's talking about is not the maintenance mode one, but the registered login one.

Though... actually now that I'm not on iPad I can check the template, I honestly thought kickguest used the main login template but it looks like one could actually safely remove the innards of the form in template_kick_guest() in Login.template.php without a huge drama.

I mean, it'd still be a usability loss, but whatever.

Looks like kick_guest has it's own code, nothing else seems to be broken -

Warning text can be edited as needed in Login.english.php -

Code Select Expand


$txt['only_members_can_access'] = 'Only registered members are allowed to access this section.';
$txt['login_below'] = 'Please login below.';


Should do what OP wants.
