Disabling Search for Guest

[Dr. Beast]

Is it possible to remove search form on home page for guests because when guest uses search everytime is generated error in error log:

http://domain.com/index.php?action=search2 [nofollow]
8: Undefined index: title
File: /path/Themes/default/Login.template.php (body_above sub template - eval?)
Line: 422

http://domain.com/index.php?action=search2 [nofollow]
8: Undefined index: href
File: /path/Themes/default/Login.template.php (body_above sub template - eval?)
Line: 421

Go into Administration Center --> Members --> Permissions --> General Permissions

Find "Guests" and click on Modify.

Under "Use basic forum functionality", look for "Search for posts and topics". Untick that option and click on the "Save changes" button.

The search menu item will now be invisible to guests.   

[Dr. Beast]

It's already disabled but search is still showing. I'm using latest 2.0.6 version.

then try to fix the error instead

Admin -> Server Settings -> Disable evaluation of templates
Then post any new error messages without eval in them

and what are those lines in your index.template.php?

And what mods do you have installed?

Code Select Expand


foreach ($context['menu_buttons'] as $act => $button)
{
echo '
<li id="button_', $act, '">
line 421 - <a class="', $button['active_button'] ? 'active ' : '', 'firstlevel" href="', $button['href'], '"', isset($button['target']) ? ' target="' . $button['target'] . '"' : '', '>
line 422 - <span class="', isset($button['is_last']) ? 'last ' : '', 'firstlevel">', $button['title'], '</span>
</a>';



I've installed SMF Notify Group and Ohara YouTube Embed.

so...
1- it seems that your theme is not using he standard 2.0.x design for menus (in 2.0.x the menus are not handled in the display template)
2- it seems that you have some other mod which has added a menu item but does not have all the values defined all the time...

[Dr. Beast]

Hm, theme is default and it isn't modified by me and only those two plugins are installed.

[Illori]

then attach your sources/subs.php file to your next post.

Here it is.

[Kindred]

what is your actual url?

[Illori]

your subs.php file looks fine, so the issue must be with one of your mods.

[Dr. Beast]

what is your actual url?

Is't on local network, not accessible from outside.

Those errors usually occur when a button for an action has been removed. Probably the Search button in this case.

To fix those, in Subs.php look for:

Code Select Expand


$context['menu_buttons'][$current_action]['active_button'] = true;


And replace it with:

Code Select Expand


if (isset($context['menu_buttons'][$current_action]))
$context['menu_buttons'][$current_action]['active_button'] = true;

i doubt that is the issue, see the subs.php file attached further up. it has no edits that i can see at all.

[Kays]

http://domain.com/index.php?action=search2 [nofollow]
8: Undefined index: title
File: /path/Themes/default/index.template.php
Line: 422

In this case the action is search2 which is checked as the same action as search.

Code Select Expand


elseif ($context['current_action'] == 'search2')
$current_action = 'search';


Since search is disabled for guests, there is no button, hence the error.

[Arantor]

Kays is right, this is a known issue in 2.0, just like it's a known issue that the quick search box doesn't adhere to permissions and is always shown as a result.
