Hi guys this might be a stupid question as i’m fairly new to EE but anyway here’s what i’m trying to achieve:

In the ‘edit member group’ i’ve changed the site access for guests to ‘no’. So now when i visit the site as a guest i get to see the message ‘system offline’ which is the template found in the ‘design>message pages>offline template’ Now; instead of displaying this i would like to show a login form to visitors so members can sign in and view the website.

I’ve tried using :http://ellislab.com/expressionengine/user-guide/modules/member/login_form.html but with no success

Can anyone tell me how i should go about doing this?

Cheers.

Manny.

Do let them access the template, but use

{if logged_in}
...
{/if}

and

{if logged_out}
...
{/if}

to determine what they get to see.(Docs)

This looks like something i can use 😊

but… (silly question) where do i put these conditions? Would you have an example, sorry i’m still learning!

Thanks.

Ok so i should have played around with it before asking 😛

I put it in the index template and it seams to be working, do i have to put in in every template to prevent people bipassing the home page?

oh also, if anyone has any tips or tutorials on how to style the default appearance of the ‘welcome back to the site’ message and the ‘log out’ button, would be much appreciated.

Cheers.
