HI all,

I am running a rather intimate community, a dating site. So.. i wish to have all features to be hidden for guests. I have set all items in the backend (configuration -> privacy) to members. And have disabled the search option to guests, however, i have the group/event module on my frontpage and wish to show it to guests so that my page does not show empty cause i want to hide everything for guests. So....

how can i restrict the acces only with showing the frontpage modules, but that if a member clicks on it, it shows that user have to become a member of the website?

Hi, LaFemme

You have following modules on your site (visible for guests):

- who's on line (guest can't view profiles - OK)
- events (guest can view events and it contents - BAD)
- videos (as I see there only 3 videos displayed... for some reason on front end I cant see privacy settings for this videos - BAD)
- groups (guest can see groups and it content - BAD)
- members (guest can't see members profiles or content - OK, but can see members list OK or BAD?)

All links from JomSocial toolbar have the same menu item ID = 101 that is your home page so no ACL settings from Joomla will be applied (they don't have own menu item id).

So please confirm that all content that I marked BAD is displayed for guest and it shouldn't be... also with sub modules (like those in groups).

Hi.. thank you for the time... and sorry for my late respons. Thought i have replied thru the quick reply, but for some reason that function here works not for me well on this site, since i now have that experience for 4 times.

Anyway... have set the modules.... but what i find is that if a user/guest knows the link then the guest would still be able to view the events/photo's. Basicly every part of the website. Howcome and how can i prevent this?

Hi, lafemme.

I have some idea... well, two of them. But when I tried to test one I was kicked out from your site and get 403 (Access forbidden) and thus I can't disable test menu I created...

Could you check it?

What did you do and what have you done? Cause i can acces the admin.

I however see that there is indeed an extra menu, but i see it in The front and not The Back. How can i disable it?

Could you check logging in again? Cause sometimes it just gives that error, but after 1 minute you can login again.

Thanks

Hi, lafemme.

Ok, I'm in - removed additional menu. And I manage to solve your issue :D
I created hidden menu and added there main links to JomSocial pages with restriction to registered only.
Now no JomSocial site can be visited by guests :D

Please check if it works for you.

How great!!! I really appreciate this! thank you so much... Your the best!

Hi, Lafemme.

I'm happy with you :D
Marking this as resolved.
