Hi there,

Just bought this theme, loving the responsiveness and out-of-the-box ready themes.

I’m building a forum which I want to only be accessible to members, and so guests can’t see the forum at all until logged in.

I’ve tried to add a simple conditional based on logged in status into the html_header.html file:

/signin/ is a custom login forum I’m building.

It seems like the {redirect} function returns as plain text in the header rather than redirecting a guest user.

Am I missing something? - Or is there a better way to handle guest users?

Thanks,

Harry

A quick solution is to set ALL the forums in Forum Management -> Permissions -> Can View Forum: ONLY for logged in users…

{if logged_out}
 {redirect="/signin/"}
{/if}

This instruction run only if the forum is running through regular templates… (Other Features)

Thanks for the quick reply, will look into regular templates for forums!
