I would like to have it where guests / public users can see the questions but can't see the answers / reply's unless they are logged in. Searching the forums I found this http://stackideas.com/forums/log-in-to-see-answers which seems to be addressing the same question. The issue for me is I'm not 100% sure what the answer means.

Unfortunately there's no such settings currently but I have added some tweaks in the file /components/com_easydiscuss/themes/simplistic/post.php at line 57,


	<?php if ($system->my->guest) { ?>



	<?php } else { ?>

		<?php if( $answer ){ ?>

		<div class="discuss-answer discussAnswer">

			<a name="answer"></a>

			<?php echo $this->loadTemplate( 'post.reply.item.php' , array( 'question' => $post, 'post' => $answer ) ); ?>

		</div>

		<?php } ?>

	<?php } ?>



You just need to fill in the first "if" statement with your html codes for guests.


The part I don't understand is the last part"You just need to fill in the first "if" statement with your html codes for guests". Can anyone be a little more descriptive of what exactly I need to put here please.

Thanks so much

Hey Kyle,

In other words, you need to place your HTML codes at line 2 after the block of codes below:



<?php if ($system->my->guest) { ?>

Whatever you want to display to guests here.

<?php } ?>

Right and I've tried exactly that but what happens is you are still able to see the answer when not logged into the site and the wording added just shows up also. See attachment and look in the middle for the "Whatever you want to display to guests here."

Thank you,

Kyle

Hi Kyle,

Perhaps you can provide us with your modification file here so we can take a closer look on your code? Do not that we are giving less support priority for the modification request as you can see from our support policy here, http://stackideas.com/support . Hope you understand.

I fully understand and appreciate your help. I hoped it was an actual feature in the component itself as it's very common for sites to hide (answers) to the public and only allow it to registered users. I attached the post.php I am using. The only modification I made to it was adding in the.


<?php if ($system->my->guest) { ?>

Whatever you want to display to guests here.

<?php } ?>


Thanks again!!!
