How do you edit the home page when logged out

fblan001

I'd like to have a separate home page with some HTML stuff show up when people visit the home page and they're logged out, is that possible, if so , how?

Maybe ExtraPpage or Custom Pages Plugin?

You could add the following code to the views/default.master.tpl file of your theme:

{if $User.SignedIn or isset($User.UserID)}
  <div>Welcome back!</div>
{else}
  <div>Hi guest!</div>
{/if}

The isset($User.UserID) is necessary due to $User.SignedIn not always being set for logged in users in Vanilla 2.2b1 - possibly a bug?

This can also be done by changing the default controller for guests:

public function base_beforeDispatch_handler($sender) {
    $routes = &Gdn::router()->Routes;
    if (!Gdn::session()->isValid() && val('DefaultController', $routes)) {
        $routes['DefaultController']['Destination'] = 'GUEST ROUTE HERE';
    }
}
