Question

Does anyone know how to hide the actual links in the template viewtopicactions if the user is a twikiguest. I have tried the following. Not sure how if statements are processed at the template level.

in the viewtopicactionsbuttons.tmpl, I try this

%%IF{"$WIKINAME!='TWikiGuest'" then "TMPL:P{"action_revisions"}"}% 

Any help much appreciated.

I follow your link and I've read the comment over and over, and I can't make sense of it. The comment does not explain where one is supposed to make those changes to show the edit button only to registered users, and it does not explain if the "COVER = customer" change is a required component in the same change or a different approach to the same thing. In other words, a more complete explanation would help.

For my part, I'd like it if the diplayed button would be "Login" for the TWikiGuest or "Edit" for a logged in user. Either that, or I would like the "Edit" button to point to a login screen, rather than the error message currently dislayed.

• in the templates directory, create a file for your cover. ie, view.guest.tmpl
• Put the following content in the file, to remove the action_revisions

%TMPL:INCLUDE{"view"}%
%TMPL:DEF{"action_revisions"}%%TMPL:END%

• Add the following to the the TWikiGuest page:

   * Set COVER=guest

After that, you can further customize your view.guest.tmpl, and those modifications will only affect the non-logged users (ie, TWikiGuests).

If you use NatSkin it is even easier. You just use the %USERACTIONS{...}% feature and there you go.
