how can i allow hompage public,but discussion page private?

yigeliba

that means:
people can see the content of homepage without login,
but they can't see the content of discussion page before login, when they open a discussion url, they are redirected to the login page.


i think maybe add some code to the discussion php(applications/vanilla/views/discussion/index.php) code, to Judgment if users are logined.

but i don't know how, can anyone help me? thanks.

This can be done with permissions. in dashboard go to roles and permissions, then for guest uncheck view where it corresponds to to discussion.

If you are asking for the ability for people to see the discussion lists, but be unable to click a link to read the contents of a discussion until they log in... I don't think there's currently a way to do that with the roles and permissions.

But you can use permissions to prevent people from being able to read (won't show up in discussion lists) categories unless they have the correct role (being logged in is a role)

Ok I would check

Permission('Vanilla.Discussions.Add'); that is becuase what you are saying is those that can't add shouldn't view. This may redirect to "not authorised" page rather than login. CheckPermission will give a Boolean result.

Don't edit the core

You could use Discussion_BeforeRender_Handler, this isn't that efficient becuase you are doing work then discarding it. As would be the case if you used a view.

So the more efficient way to do it is use the hook Dispatcher_AfterAnalyzeRequest_Handler then check if(strtolower($Sender->OriginalRequestMethod)!='discussion') return; So we are dealing with discussion. Then your $Sender->Permission('Vanilla.Discussions.Add'); or

if(!$Sender->CheckPermission('Vanilla.Discussions.Add') && 
     $Sender->DeliveryType() == DELIVERY_TYPE_ALL){
         Redirect('/entry/signin?Target='.urlencode($Sender->SelfUrl));
}

whichever works best for you. Read up on plugins / themehooks if you haven't already.
