Guests can't see message index..

[amwebby]

.. they get asked to register. This despite "Allow guests to browse the forum" being checked in Features and Options and all the boards in question being set to allow Guests to access the board.

Bizzarrely they can click on the Last Post in the board index and that will alllow them to view that topic.

With your help I've made custom edits to My message index template for Ad Seller and Classifieds and I'm wondering if I've broken guest access somewhere?

Screenshot?

Here it is. Accessing Board Index and Post is fine, it is Message Index that gives the problem.

MessageIndexTemplate.php included.

Found it!

This had been inserted in the template amongst Ad Seller code. Not sure where it came from as it isn't there in the original version of the file.

Code: [Select]

// Guests will get a notice!

if ($context['user']['is_guest']){
echo '<div class="catbg" style="margin: 20px; padding: 10px; text-align: center; "> Please <a href="'.$scripturl.'?action=join">register</a> or <a href="'.$scripturl.'?action=login">login</a> to view this board.</div>';
     }
else{ [Ad seller code was here]
}

Cool glade you found it.

Weird though. Do you recognise it? As I say, it isn't in the original backup file.

[SMFHacks]

I don't recognize that code.

OK. The hunt continues...
