how to set guest to view title only and not content?

pedenski

is this even possible with the permission settings of user? or there's a plugin needed?

There is a solution in Plug in, but it was designed for social linkage (facebook,etc) like so they would have a landing page, the discussion won't show up in discussion list.

Such facility requires a plugin.

I can give you a hand if you want to start writing a plugin - but I'm not going to write it at this point.

Here's a start-
create a plugin: add this

public function DiscussionController_BeforeCommentMeta_Handler($Sender) {

  if ($Session->IsValid()) { 
                    // do what you want
                  } else {  //not logged in
                 $Sender->AddCssFile('getridofcomments.css', 'plugins/yourplugin');
                  }


put this in your getridofcomment.css

.Message {
                display:none;
               }
