 Hi guys... i was just wondering, you know the main tabs (home members blogs photos video music etc) how do i make these reveal nothing for guests when they click on them. Ive got my forum locked down for guests, but these tabs still take the guests to the pages to view thumbnail of photo,video's. Ive removed everything for non members, but these few things are still open. So how do i close these down, or even remove the tabs altogether for guest. Warm regards Tyke |
Tyke, I've done a pretty good job of locking down my site to visitors, as we're running a vacation promo to obtain membership so I simply disabled the entire menu to guests. Now when they go to http://mydatery.com they can only view the featured members (as I've chosen to let them), a couple of Articles and then they have to Join or Leave.
Take a look at it and if you want to do this, just go into your Admin-> Builders-> Navigation Menu Builder and Simply turn off all Guests by removing the check marks. Now keep in mind, you will also need to go into the submenus under Profile, Account and so on and turn them off to the guests.
Once I did this, my membership numbers started to increase, as people had to join (which is free) to see all options the site has and it also dealt with low membership numbers (all sites have this in the beginning) being a turn off as they can't tell what the numbers are until they join.

Your site is excelent and set at the privacy level i want too. Thing is ive done all the unticking of the guests on all the the navigation button and submenu's (all the buttons in fact that lets me unclick guest views) and nothing changes, the only tab that will go is the homepage button and there's nothing on that anyway. Driving me bonkers trying to find a solution to this, and i can see why members dont like their photo's in the gallery (even if it is only the thumbnails) showing up for guest .Ive got it set so non members have no actions for anything, but yet they can still click on photo's in the top menu and see all the thumbnails. Im running dolphin 6.1.4 so i hope this isnt a bug or something. Regards Tyke |

Thanks for the advice here, ive managed to do it now following your advice, Id missed a load of tabs, mainly because im not used to a screen that scroll sideways for three pages LOL.....
