    Hi!
    Which permission must I enable to let the anonymous guest to see the last changes: INCLUDING the registered pages ( currently the anonymous guest see only the public pages when click on "last Changes"...) ?

    Thanks in advance

    Do you want anonymous users to see all pages? If so then you need to give the anonymous users' group the tiki_p_view permission.

    You mention that you have "public" and "registered" pages, how do you tell the difference between the two? Do you use categories? Should anonymous users see ALL registered pages? You may need to also give the anonyous users' group tiki_p_view_categories and tiki_p_view_categorized permissions.

    Also check the permissions for individual pages and categories, they can have special permissions that override the global permissions.

    Hope this helps.

    Hi!
    Thanks for your quick answer.

    I have anonymous, registered and publishers members.
    Anonymous can not see registewred pages.
    Registered pages are those which in permissions I give tiki_view ONLY to registered.

    What I want is that everybody can see everyday the new pages added at "Recent Changes"

    Ok, I think I understand now... So you want anonymous users to be able to see when new pages are added, or existing pages have changed, BUT you don't want them to be able to see the actual pages themselves.

    I know this type of thing can be done with search, so that you can return search results even for objects that a user group does not have permission for. However, I don't think there is any way to implement this type of thing for Tiki objects and "Recent Changes". Maybe you could use categories but I'm thinking that special page permissions would always override category permissions.

    Perhaps somebody else has more knowledge or another idea of how you could do this.

    ...therefore there is ANY way an anonymous guest can click on "Recent Pages" and see only there the list of ALL the pages added (public and registered)... ?

    I'm sure you have a good reason, but out of curiosity, why do you want people to be able to see changes to pages that they can't even view anyway? I can understand wanting users to be able to view pages but not edit them, but to my mind if they shouldn't even be allowed to view them, they might as well not know of their existence in the first place.

    I'm not criticizing, just curious.

    Thanks for your post and for your interest:
    I am just wanting to show the titles of the articles and pages they are losing because they are not registered: have you any other way to publicize the reserved pages ?

    Perhaps if as said the program don't give me this way, __you can give me some ideas... thanks in advance !

    Thanks, now that makes sense. It's a bit like those websites where they show you a forum post but you can't see the replies unless you register (example: http://www.experts-exchange.com).

    I completely understand your problem now, just sorry I can't help!

    An indirect approach you could use would be to use the Newsletters feature, so that people could subscribe to them (I'm assuming anonymous users can, given sufficient privileges) and you could tell them what they're missing. It is less automated and more work for you but it is a possible solution.
