Hello sirs!

I am wondering how or where i can add a generic message that displays when you restrict access to the forums to guest readers ?

I currently have my guest permissions set to "read forum and topic title only", and would like to show a message telling guests to login or register should they wish to see the full content.

Can you point me in the right direction please

With thanks

Rich

There are a few ways you can do this. What we did on the Simple Press Demo site is create a widget that tells a non-logged in user one thing and a logged in one something else. We put it at the top of the page above the forum and the same on other pages.

See http://demo.simple-press.com/p.....buttonelp/ for example as a guest. Then login as a pre-registered test member and you will see something else shown there.

A basic way to do this is shown here. http://codex.wordpress.org/Fun....._logged_in

You could add something like that to the actual forum page by editing it in WordPress.

I would also take a look at our sneak peek feature...  it allows you to optionally show your list of forums and/or your list of topics... but not your post content...  if they try to visit the level where you stop the sneak peak, you can display a message or you can redirect to special page...

You should be able to include html tags in the message text... did you try?
