Extension request: Landing page for non-logged in users

LEOcean

In the admin panel -> Permissions, you can set 'Read permissions' as 'Members only'.

If set, when a new user comes to the board, they dont see anything, but a blank discussion layout with the 'start new discussion' button. This is a poor user experience, so there should really be a landing page for an overview and say to log in or something.

I've had a dabble with the basic plugin stuff to adding things to the UI, and logging in using x service, but how would you flip a template based on if logged in or not?

LEOcean agree!

Are you going to outsource your extension? ?

Simply extend DiscussionList

I had to extend indexPage.prototype view, then add a check for app.session.user

Davis

LEOcean that would work too

Now I somehow need to remove 'Sign up' from the header, instead of going into the permissions and disabling it because it messes up with oauth extensions.

LEOcean Some css will help:

.item-signUp {
display: none !important;
}
.LogInModal-signUp {
display: none !important;
}

7h3ev1l Easily bypassed. Probably need to extend Header-Secondary component or something and remove the sign up item

justshipit Sooner or later. I need to make the HTML editable in the extension settings as it's currently hardcoded (for debugging purposes)
