Hi i´ve got a question,

am i able to show the whole Main Menu for a unregistered user? I can not find this option in the preferences...where can i find these options?

Can i also, disable the Submit News (menu point)?

I want to create a public portal...

please help me!

Ps: Sry for my english, just a german

OK for your first question:
1) go to your Admin page, click on System>Groups
2)In the Edit Groups box, click on Anonymous Users>Modify
3)tick whatever modules and blocks you want them to see (module access rights, block access rights)

For Question 2,first of all you will have to clone your template set, then edit the system_block_mainmenu.htm template. (of the cloned set, of course)
I did the same thing-

table cellspacing="0">
<tr>
<td id="mainmenu">
<a class="menuTop" href="<{$xoops_url}>/"><{$block.lang_home}></a>
<!-- start module menu loop -->
<{foreach item=module from=$block.modules}>
<a class="menuMain" href="<{$xoops_url}>/modules/<{$module.directory}>/"><{$module.name}></a>
<!--<{foreach item=sublink from=$module.sublinks}>
<a class="menuSub" href="<{$sublink.url}>"><{$sublink.name}></a>
<{/foreach}>-->
<{/foreach}>
<!-- end module menu loop -->
</td>
</tr>
</table>

I just commented out the

<{foreach item=sublink from=$module.sublinks}>
<a class="menuSub" href="<{$sublink.url}>"><{$sublink.name}></a>
<{/foreach}>

works perfectly.


Don't forget, you have to set the cloned template set as default in the preferences menu.

You can go to system admin and then click on the groups admin. Click on anonymous group and look for the block that says main menu and check that box so that every visitor to your site can see the main menu. As for what they will be able to have access to by clicking on the links in the main menu...you can give or take away any module access in groups admin too.

Also, to keep anonymous users from being able to submit news, go to system admin and click on the preferences in the news module. There you will see "Allow anonymous users to post news articles?" and you can click on the no.

Looks like someone beat me to the answer!
