Hey StackIdeas!

I am trying to make my easydiscuss so that everyone (including guests) can see all of the questions/first posts but you need to sign in or create an account to view the answers/the rest of the posts.

Does EasyDiscuss have settings to achieve this?

The reason I would like to do this is to allow search engines to index my EasyDiscuss content, but i still want to encourage users to register.

Thank you for your time and great products.
Hello Patrick,

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.

Amazing Mark! Such speedy, perfect and simple answer!

I feel like others would be interesting in these kinds of settings for SEO. Many of the major sites out there use this method.

Thank you!
