Invision Community 4: SEO, prepare for v5 and dormant account notifications Matt November 11, 2024Nov 11
Posted August 16, 2024Aug 16 How can we change the Default Page for a Guest Only . I have the members defaulting to the forum .. how can i change the Guest Group to a specific page ?
August 16, 2024Aug 16 There is no way in which you can force only guests to a specific page, while having members go elsewhere. Is there a reason you wish to do this? Could you give me an example of what you are looking to see, as there may be other ways around this I can advise on
August 16, 2024Aug 16 Author we are a Local Club . We do not have anything here for non members . I would like to display information to Guest about what our club is and Give them the option to join .
August 16, 2024Aug 16 OK, so personally what I would do in this scenario is to remove access to all forums from guests (unless of course there are some you wish them to see. Once done, using the block manager to add the "Guest signup widget". This block gives the guest the ability to sign up, and you can use the WYSIWYG editor to add any other information you wish.
August 16, 2024Aug 16 Author that works . but i was using the WYSIWYG editor block for my regular member Front page content above the forums and dont want that content shown to Guest .. How can i get around that ... would have been much easier to have a default page app with permissions and ability to select app or page as default depending on group .. you guys should add it or someone create an app .
August 16, 2024Aug 16 Solution You can create your blocks in the admin CP, and create those with permissions as custom blocks. This way you can pick and choose which blocks show to which groups as neeeded
August 16, 2024Aug 16 Author are there any way to hide the Forum title from guest since i have the guest permission turned off on all of them ?

There is not natively via the software. You can change or make that language string an empty space but not really recommended. Can read about language strings here:
August 16, 2024Aug 16 Author anyway to make the Guest widget look more like this im assuming it can be done somehow with this template . but i dont know code enough to change it . {{$buttonMethods = $login->buttonMethods();}} {{$usernamePasswordMethods = $login->usernamePasswordMethods();}} {{$ref = \IPS\Request::i()->externalref ?: base64_encode( \IPS\Request::i()->url() ); }} {{if $orientation == 'vertical'}} <div class='ipsWidget_inner ipsPos_center ipsPad'> <div class="ipsAreaBackground_light ipsPad"> <h2 class="ipsType_sectionHead ipsSpacer_bottom ipsSpacer_half">{$title}</h2> <p class="ipsType_richText ipsType_contained"> {$text|raw} </p> {{if $usernamePasswordMethods}} <ul class="ipsList_inline"> <li> <a href='{url="app=core&module=system&controller=login" seoTemplate="login"}' class="ipsButton ipsButton_primary ipsButton_verySmall ipsPos_right">{lang="sign_in_short"}</a> </li> <li>{lang="or"}</li> <li> <a href='{url="app=core&module=system&controller=register" seoTemplate="register"}' class="ipsButton ipsButton_primary ipsButton_verySmall ipsPos_right">{lang="sign_up"}</a> </li> </ul> {{endif}} {{if $buttonMethods}} <div class=''> <form accept-charset='utf-8' method='post' action='{$login->url}' target="_parent"> <input type="hidden" name="csrfKey" value="{expression="\IPS\Session::i()->csrfKey"}"> <input type="hidden" name="ref" value="{$ref}"> {{foreach $buttonMethods as $method}} <div class='ipsType_center ipsPos_center ipsSpacer_top'> {$method->button()|raw} </div> {{endforeach}} </form> </div> {{endif}} </div> </div> {{else}} <div class='ipsWidget_inner ipsPos_center ipsPad_half'> <div class="ipsAreaBackground_light ipsPad"> <div class="ipsGrid ipsGrid_collapsePhone"> <div class='ipsGrid_span{{if $buttonMethods}}8{{endif}}'> <h2 class="ipsType_sectionHead ipsSpacer_bottom ipsSpacer_half">{$title}</h2> <div class="ipsType_richText ipsType_contained"> {$text|raw} </div> {{if $usernamePasswordMethods}} <ul class="ipsList_inline"> <li> <a href='{url="app=core&module=system&controller=login" seoTemplate="login"}' class="ipsButton ipsButton_primary ipsButton_verySmall ipsPos_right">{lang="sign_in_short"}</a> </li> <li>{lang="or"}</li> <li> <a href='{url="app=core&module=system&controller=register" seoTemplate="register"}' class="ipsButton ipsButton_primary ipsButton_verySmall ipsPos_right">{lang="sign_up"}</a> </li> </ul> {{endif}} </div> {{if $buttonMethods}} <div class='ipsGrid_span4 cSignInTeaser_right'> <form accept-charset='utf-8' method='post' action='{$login->url}' target="_parent"> <input type="hidden" name="csrfKey" value="{expression="\IPS\Session::i()->csrfKey"}"> <input type="hidden" name="ref" value="{$ref}"> {{foreach $buttonMethods as $method}} <div class='ipsPad_half ipsType_center ipsPos_center'> {$method->button()|raw} </div> {{endforeach}} </form> </div> {{endif}} </div> </div> </div> {{endif}}

The software is powerful and very adaptable, and it looks like what you want to achieve with the Guest Signup Widget is quite simple (coming from someone that doesn't code by the way). ☺️
