Hmm I see what you mean.

Can you check what happens if you allow guests to see the forum (SMF setting)?

[lurkalot]

Working on a forum running TP 1.6.3 in 2.0.15, just did clean install and owner installed/configed TP.  Main menu is a bit wonky, TinyPortal menu button is visible to guests, shouldn't be (doesn't work), and there is no Forum button.  Don't see any settings for these.

Forum button not showing probably due to front page setting = Go directly to forum index.  Change that to something else and it should come back.

Downloads not doing anything because guests don't have permission to view anything by the looks of it.

Yeah, got the button back.  I'd like to have portal blocks display only on front page, Forum link to display forum without blocks.

Guests have no permissions (well, just one, to view staff list).  Are there additional permissions for TP?

If I allow guests to browse forum, they don't see board index, just info center.  TP Downloads link allows them to view downloads.

That’s easy: suppress the panels on the forum index

Check the permissions : TP adds permissions: guests are allowed to view downloads by default

Ok, got that.

Not seeing that, only permissions for Downloads System mod.

[lurkalot]

Go to that downloads "General" category and edit the permission for it. (Untick Guests).

[@rjen]

You are right , sorry it’s early... there are no guest permissions (they are on the categories, but that may not solve your problem)

Need to look into that. For the time being (if you are not using the Tpdowloads module) switching it off in the TP modules setting should remove the unwanted menu option...

I'm beat, it's getting to be 0300 here and eyes are shot.  Don't see any way to disable TP downloads.  The board index is broken in guest view, nothing to do with TP.  Think I'll dump this install tomorrow and start clean (again), install TP first.

TinyPortal > modules > download manager : switch to Off

Ok, hopefully we'll get you there eventually.  As a last resort you could give one of us TP team admin access, and we'll see if we can point you in the right direction.

Should do it.

In addition. If you don't want blocks showing on the staff list.  Go TP Admin > Panels

In the "Hide panels when in custom actions:" box type the word staff

And save.

Ok, got that.  How to remove TP drop item from Help button for guests?

[@rjen]

Only by changing code

[Sir Osis of Liver]

<sigh>  Where's the code?

[@rjen]

<Yawn> I will tell you when I have a pc available. This will not be before Saturday.

[Sir Osis of Liver]

Ok, no big rush.  I'm dumping the install and redoing everything from scratch.  Some of the glitches are due to leftover stuff in the database, I'm trying to get access to clean it up.  Biggest problem is getting forum owner to decide what he wants.  Thanks.

[lurkalot]

Remove TP from the help tab.  If I've got this right, it's in Sources\TPassimilate.php

Look for, and change true, to false at the bottom.

Code: [Select]

    // Add the help

    if(array_key_exists('help', $buttons)) {

        $buttons['help']['sub_buttons'] = array(

            'tphelp' => array(

                'title' => $txt['tp-tphelp'],

                'href' => $scripturl.'?action=tpmod;sa=help',

                'show' => true,

            ),

        );

    }

[Sir Osis of Liver]

Ok, that got it.  Also changed Forum button so it shows for all frontpage settings.

Glad that sorted the help tab.   Not sure what you mean regarding the Forum button though, that should show anyway unless you've got it set in Frontpage settings > "Go directly to forum index"
