how do you hide messages from guests?

troppmann

Default theme for Vanilla, how do you hide the messages in the sidebar from guests?

Nothing in Roles/Permissions/Categories addresses this as far as I can see....been all over this forum and not seeing an answer...

Thank you in advance for your help.

@troppmann Are you referring to 'messages' that can be set in dashboard?

If so, see your other thread, my answer should solve that issue also.

you have pushed that on a couple threads...frankly this shouldnt be that complicated...

Guests shouldnt be the defining factor...

tested...at least on my forum...not behaving correctly...

making the form private still shows those messages to everyone, no matter what the role when they are signed in...this screen is a test user seeing the threads they are supposed to AND the message test on the right...enabling that line doesnt remove that from this users persmission to see that and maybe i am blind but i am not seeing an option for that anywhere...

@troppmann
oh sorry, I assumed you had messages enabled to appear above content only, in this way, my suggestion works. There is no way to hide messages in your panel unless you write in a specific code yourself, Sorry I dont know how to do that.
