Hide Blocks From Guests

[AylaAsperger]

I was wondering if it is possible in any way to hide certain blocks from guests. I know the blocks containing news and announcement only have content when the user is logged in and has the permission to see the messages, but I would like to see something similar (i.e. hide the block or at least the content of it) for other blocks like Most Posters, New Members, Team, etc. I hope anyone can help me out!

You can make a switch around the block like this:

Code: Select all

<!-- IF S_USER_LOGGED_IN -->
         <!-- INCLUDE portal/block/xyz.html -->
      <!-- ENDIF -->

Thank you very much, that ought to do it! Could you please also tell me in which file this has to be done?

You will have to do this in the HTML files portal_left.html, portal_center.html and portal_right.html, depending on where the blocks are being shown.

Thank you very much! As the blocks were in an IF clause already I updated the existing IF clause with "and S_USER_LOGGED_IN" instead of adding an extra IF clause. And it worked perfectly!
