Question about page permissions

Zhaan

This might sound a bit weird, but if I wanted to revoke guest access to the All Discussions page, how would I proceed? Is it at all possible?

Using version 2.1.3.

I haven't tested but - try forceredirect plugin

and change

    public function Base_Render_Before($Sender) {
$Session = GDN::Session();

// Get the controller name
 $Controller = $Sender->ControllerName;
$ShowOnController = array('discussioncontroller','discussionscontroller','categoriescontroller','plugincontroller','entrycontroller','activitycontroller');
// force sign in if we aren't in an approved controller
if (!InArrayI($Controller, $ShowOnController)) {

to

public function DiscussionsController_Render_Before($Sender) {
$Session = GDN::Session();


and remove the closing bracket for the if (!InArrayI($Controller, $ShowOnController)) {

do you mean just the topics, or viewing any discussion.

just remove the view permission from guests role.

or use a plugin if you want some other behavior

I don't want them to be able to visit the All Discussions page at all. However, I only want that single page blocked. They should be able to see every other page, even individual categories.

So.. I can't see any permissions for that specific page in the dashboard.
