    • Re: Login Box - Display on Edit

    Posted by arun_akb

    Hi Rick,

    As per your suggestion, I performed the following steps:

    1. Removed login_box module.
    2. Added the follwing code to the bottom of the tiki-show_page.tpl template:
    Copy to clipboard
    {if !$user}<a href="tiki-login.php">Login to edit this page</a>.{/if}


    Now, Registered or Anonymous users cannot view the "Login" box on the first page of the site. To log on to the site, users need to use the tiki-login.php URL.

    Is that how it is???

    P.S: I want if a user double-clicks a page without logging on to the site, the "Login" box should appear automatically. After successfully logging on to the site, the users can edit pages.

    Regards,
    Arun Bamania

Any user can view the documentation on the site. What our client wants is that the "Login" box should not be available in the View mode. However, the "Login" box should appear automatically ONLY when a (any) user tries to edit a page, and ask the user to log on to the site. If the user has a valid username and password, the user can log on to the site and edit the desired page. If not, the user cannot edit the page.

For example, when an anonymous user tries to access my Tiki's sandbox, they are automatically prompted to login: exampleQuestion.
