Hi,

My client just discovered that while logged in members don’t have access to users profiles on a forum, non-logged in members do.

Yikes! I need to get this site back up (turned off now for security reasons).

Any ideas?

If you edit both the Guest Group and your Member group - then look at Admin ›  Members and Groups ›  Member Groups ›  Edit Member Group ›  Members

and choose the right preference for “Can view public profiles” - you probably want no in this case for guests at least.

Lisa,

Thanks for the almost instantanious support!

So I doesn’t look like there is a way to disable the forums comletely from non members. Is that correct?

T-
I was able to get the global

{if logged_in}

working and placed it around anything I only wanted shown to logged in users - ended up having an error in the footer template from the post in an earlier thread.
So the content section looks something like this

<div id="content">

{if logged_in}
[i]path stuff here [/i]{include:main_forum_list}
{include:visitor_stats}
{include:forum_legend}
{/if}
{if logged_out}
{include:login_form}

{/if}

</div>

 
Hope this helps.
