I get a very truncated homepage, without the side bar or any of the links,
after I did what you instructed: i.e. inserted $DefaultPasswords['read'] =
'id:*' in my config.php file;
and went to Site.GroupAttributes?action=attr and set @nopass as a 'read'
attribute.
You can go to my site in progress at www.politicaltransformation.org, to see
exactly what I mean.
As evidence that I did the above correctly I copied:
Main.HomePage Attributes
Enter new attributes for this page below. Leaving a field blank will leave the
attribute unchanged. To clear an attribute, enter 'clear'.
Set new read password: @nopass
Set new edit password: (set by site) ****
Set new attribute password: (using edit password)
Set new upload password: (set by site) id:*
Top entries from the config.php file:
$EnableUpload = 1;
#$DefaultPasswords['upload'] = array('id:*');
#$DefaultPasswords['read'] = '@nopass';
$DefaultPasswords['read'] = 'id:*';
$UploadPrefixFmt = '';
include_once("$FarmD/cookbook/wikimail.php");
## Unicode (UTF-8) allows the display of all languages and all alphabets.
include_once($FarmD.'/scripts/xlpage-utf-8.php');
include_once("$FarmD/cookbook/useradmin-authuser.php");
include_once("$FarmD/scripts/authuser.php");
Any other suggestions?
