    • Different home page if logged in or not?

    Posted by ss18

    i'm setting up a server (tiki 10.2) on my internal network and the HOMEPAGE that people see when the go to the site and aren't logged in shows them a message and tells them to log in.

    once they are logged in i want the home page to be different, something i can add info and links to that i don't want people NOT logged in to see.

    Thanks

    You can choose the homepage to be a wiki, blog or static article. Whatever you choose, just do not grant any rights to 'Anonymous'. If someone without appropriate rights wants to watch, he/she'll see the hint to log in.

    You may grant view permission to group 'Registered'. Thus everybody who is logged in can see your homepage.

    That is exactly what I was trying to do, thanks!

    I'm sure I'll have more questions soon 😊

    Yes, if you do not use the default wiki as homepage.

    Try it step by step:
    1) Remove all 'Anonymous' group permissions
    2) Grant wiki read permission wiki to group 'Registered'
    3) Run a test
    4) Change homepage (this is the complex part, example for a blog)
    4a) activate feature blog
    4b) create a blog
    4c) set it as default blog
    4d) change Tiki homepage to blog
    5) Re-adjust permissions

    This is the basic idea, maybe some finetuning steps are missing. If (when) everything works:
    6) Write a little howto documentation for our doc.tiki.org website or post a step-by-step howto here (forum).
    7) Enjoy and have fun 😊

    i'm almost there. have a little more work to do to get the Main page to change once i am logged in (it's still showing the blog), but here is what i have done so far.

    Create Blog

    Admin, General, Navigation (advanced is checked)

    USE TIKI FEATURE as homepage (BLOG)
    HOME BLOG (pick created blog)

    Permissions
    Assign Permissions
    ONLY READ BLOG (tiki_p_read_blog) for anonymous

    | Permissions
    | Assign Permissions
    | ONLY READ BLOG (tiki_p_read_blog) for anonymous

    This will make the homepage visible for users who are not logged in, if the blog is your homepage. You need to cancel read permission for anonymous.
