Hide the Tool Bar and Discussions from Guests

Hello,

I have my EasyDiscuss linked to my menu. I know that I can hide the entire menu item from guests, but I do not want to do that.
Instead, I have a large image with a "click here to register" button (JomSocial calls it a 'hero area'). This is a module which is only displayed to guests.
I would like to hide the entire EasyDiscuss from guests, and only have them see my 'hero area".

My question is similar to this one:
http://stackideas.com/forums/hide-toolbar-horizontal-menu-for-guests-frosty-theme

but I cannot see the answer...

Thank you for your time and effort.
Hello Patrick,

That particular post is for EasySocial, hence you are not able to view it. As for displaying the module on EasyDiscuss page, you'll probably need to customize the theme file in order for you to be able to achieve this. You can edit the file /components/com_easydiscuss/themes/simplistic/structure.php and locate the codes below,



<script type="text/javascript">

<?php if( $system->config->get( 'main_syntax_highlighter') ){ ?>

// Find any response that contains a code syntax.

EasyDiscuss.main_syntax_highlighter = true;



EasyDiscuss.require()

.script( 'prism' )

.done(function($){



	Prism.highlightAll();

	

});

<?php } ?>

</script>



<?php echo $jsToolbar; ?>



<div id="discuss-wrapper" class="discuss-wrap<?php echo $suffix . $categoryClass . $jomsocialClass . $discussView;?>">

	

	



	<?php echo $toolbar; ?>



	<?php echo $contents; ?>



	<?php echo DISCUSS_POWERED_BY; ?>



	<input type="hidden" class="easydiscuss-token" value="<?php echo DiscussHelper::getToken();?>" />



</div>


Replace it with,



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

<script type="text/javascript">

<?php if( $system->config->get( 'main_syntax_highlighter') ){ ?>

// Find any response that contains a code syntax.

EasyDiscuss.main_syntax_highlighter = true;



EasyDiscuss.require()

.script( 'prism' )

.done(function($){



	Prism.highlightAll();

	

});

<?php } ?>

</script>



<?php echo $jsToolbar; ?>



<div id="discuss-wrapper" class="discuss-wrap<?php echo $suffix . $categoryClass . $jomsocialClass . $discussView;?>">

	

	



	<?php echo $toolbar; ?>



	<?php echo $contents; ?>



	<?php echo DISCUSS_POWERED_BY; ?>



	<input type="hidden" class="easydiscuss-token" value="<?php echo DiscussHelper::getToken();?>" />



</div>

<?php } ?>


This will ensure that non registered users cannot view anything from EasyDiscuss.

Hey guys,

I want to use this
 <?php if ($system->my->id) { ?> code<?php } ?>
but rather than checking just if the user is logged in, I want to check if the user has a specifc usergroup.

Something like
<?php 

$allGroups = $system->my->usergroups;

$theGroup    = 18; 

 if (in_array($theGroup, $allGroups) { ?>

code



<?php } ?>


How do I get the user groups of the logged in user?

Hello Patrick,

You can use EasyDiscuss api to retrieve the groups they belong to,



$ids = DiscussHelper::getUserGids($system->my->id);
