Question Registered users - use only forum

Hey there,
I hope you are doing well.

I have one small bug.
My forum is accesible but guests and register users at the moment.
The thing is that i only want it to be accesible only by registered users.
When i change the settings/options in order to be accesible by registered users only it dispalys a 404 error (website not found) when a guest visits the forum.

How can i make it instead ofshowing 404 error page to display the registration form for guets?

Thanks in advance

Can you please create a configuration report?

yes sure

Only quick view... At least that your menu link is for guests and register... change that for registered only?
screencast.com/t/lXq2m7mQT

or what you mean? You can made forum, that guest can see, but have to be registered user to post in, too

or so that the guests will have access to home, but requires registration?

Please update J! 3.3.4 for 3.3.6 www.joomla.org/announcements/release-new...-3-3-6-released.html (it looks work now on my testings :) ) backup before any changes ;)

I want the forum to be visible for all users. But i want it to be accesible only by registered members.

For example guests will be able to view the index of the forum but when they click a specific topic the website will direct them to create an account first in order to view the topic.

What i have now is that guest can view any topic. When i change this option and i select the forum to be accesible by registered users the guests can view the index of topic (which this is very good) but when they click a specific topic to open they are directed to 404 article not found and not to forum registration form.

Is this the kind of thing you are after: Teasers - Read list of topics but not be able to view the contents unless you are registered

yes..as i see there is not yet such plugin..right?

That is correct; there is no plugin or feature like this in the standard version of Kunena, no. As far as I know , I am the only person who has successfully built a "teaser feature" for Kunena.

a ok.. thanks for your reply
