I need to allow guest and any registered user to see the eblog component and its posts but leaving the entire site offline as it is.

Any Suggestion?

eBlog users login through the front page assuming that you or the admin has setup the user.
Users are not allowed to setup their own eblogs on the site.

Check this solution for my previous question:

It needs to modify the source code in 3 files:
index.php
index2.php
includes/systemplates/login.php

By default Elxis allows only super admins (group id = 62) to login that way. You have to enter the id of the other group too in the source code.

Setting the website in this way you allow more that one group of people to access the page after login.

Actually the eblog accept only super admins. I don't know if is related or not to the main configuration reported above.

I am interesting in allow guest to see the blog. Actually the site is setted as offline but if you have a kind of account you can access but only when you want to comment or interact to the eblog or website that you need an account.

Thanks!

The eblog users are not only super admin, they are assigned by you or the admin. Please see this http://www.elxis-downloads.com/downloads/documentation/4.html (http://www.elxis-downloads.com/downloads/documentation/4.html)

As I say, what sense does it make to set the site offline and then modify acl permissions to allow visitors to see the site?

If you do not want someone to be able to login then all you have to do is to disable the user login module.
If you do not want someone to see a portion of the site, then unpublish whatever section or category that is not ready.

Post by: Davide on May 28, 2012, 12:10:54: Thank you for the link to the guide but it wasn't very usefull.
I will try to explain better again my problem, i will use my real situation and website for better understanding.

- www.petbooking.it > offline (offline page modified)
- www.petbooking.it/eblog > online, only this section, to show articles > if any action by guest > return to offline page.

The previous thread linked was solved by modify the login group inside the code where elxis check if the registered guest is allowed or not to interact.
In this case I need to modify the code where eblog check if GUEST are allowed to intereact before login/registration procedure.

Understand what I mean? Thanks.
