How to show a module to Anonymous users *only* ?

posts: 35 Switzerland

Situation:
On our intranet, I'm trying to lure users into logging in by showing them a "Last Changes" list (in the left column, with the login box on the right)
Once they've logged in, I'd like to *replace* that module by the content of the since-last-visit-new module (GREAT functionality, BTW), in other words, "don't show Last Changes anymore, but show Since Your Last Visit with clickable links".

I've tried:
- setting Last Changes to "Anonymous" only (and since-last-visit-new to Registered, of course) => shows for Registered users too :-(
- giving them the same order number => just lines them up one after the other :-(

I've thought about putting the Last Changes in the middle part for the anonymous users, but that seems to involve a bit of coding :-(

Any hints ?
TIA

The code to do that was in comments .... I reintroduced the code in 1.9CVS.
So now you have a new check box in admin/general
"Hide anonymous-only modules from registered users:"
Don't forget to uncheck
"Display modules to all groups always:"
after having assign all the modules with the appropriate groups

Thx sylvie!
For now (workaround) I've just sent it to the bottom of the column (position 49), looking forward to upgrading to 1.9 when it's stable...

For now, to separate Anonymous group from other groups, you can apply this hack from alt.thetinfoilhat.com to tikilib.php and userslib.php (as quoted from that page — not sure if that site is still online or not, but I want to give credit):

Both in tikilib.php and userslib.php the Anon group gets added to a user's list of groups; around line 1030 (Tiki 1.8.2) in tikilib.php:

Copy to clipboard
$ret[] = "Anonymous";


Replace this line with a conditional statement (otherwise Anonymous group won't work) (lines 1031-1033):

Copy to clipboard
if(count($ret) == 0) { // This could be an option in the admin menu $ret[] = "Anonymous"; }


And in /lib/userlib.php,
Same change as in tikilib.php, at around lines 732-735 (Tiki 1.8.2).

I use this at a couple of sites and it works fine, with no problems.
