I'm probably missing something really obvious here, but....
I want to have my featured article showing on the front page to guests. I've got it showing fine when a user or Admin logged in, but as soon as I log out and become a guest, it disappears and all I'm seeing in a log in screen and a message saying that guests are not allowed to access this section.
What am I missing here? What setting do I need to change to make my article show for guests as well?
Thanks
You are so right about that. Permissions and then we have the permissions again, and if you want, we can talk about them a third time again ;D
OK, G6 thanks for the reply, which I'm assuming was meant to be either a bit sarcastic or cryptic in some way.
So, I'm real dumb when it comes to Tiny Portal. :idiot2:
Actually, I'm trying to learn from scratch, by trail-and-error and assumed - maybe wrongly - that I might get some help in this forum.
Can anyone give an answer to my question please, preferably step-by-step. Thanks
Guests should be able to view the articles by default as far as I remember. Just checked it on my site and it worked. Have a link so we can see your site?
Oh, and yes G6 was being sarcastic with you. Once you get to know her you'll realize that. :)

Sure, http://rethinkingchurch.net/index.php
I'm seeing the blocks on the left OK, but none of the articles can be shown, nor the featured article viewable.
All I see is a login page.
Unless I'm mistaken, everyone can see articles, however only selected membergroups can "submit" them?

Yeah.... the question is 'why?' :)
Access your boards in Admin/Forum/Boards
Then edit the categories and boards you have. Check the boxes for the membergroups youwant to be able to see the boards.
It seems like you have closed the entire forum for guests, and if TP have the settings to go directly to forum index, the frontpage is locked to.
Thanks G6
I've been and set all the boards to be viewable for guests and it is still showing only a login screen both for the main TP page and the forums.
Very strange
Any ideas?
Admin > Features and Options > Allow guests to browse the forum: checked.
Thanks Ich Bin. That appears to do it.
Trouble is that I actually don't really want guests browsing the forum, but I do want them to see articles.
I've now got guests able to see just one forum - a site announcements forum, with the rest becoming visible to members. Not exactly what I was hoping for, but it will have to do :)
I'm going to have a lay down now :o
Keep the settings IchBin posted but change the permission to view the boards ( the step i told you) Edit the boards one by one to set what membergroups you want to see the boards, if you uncheck all of the boards, they will only see the portal and articles.
