that is workable... thanks.
what about gotchas with evaluating guests?
my dlm.xml entries...
<dlm:fragment name='frg-guest' ownerID='guest-lo' precedence='10'>
<dlm:audience
evaluatorFactory='org.jasig.portal.layout.dlm.providers.GuestUserEvaluatorFactory'/>
</dlm:fragment>
<dlm:fragment name='frg-welcome' ownerID='welcome-lo' precedence='10'>
<dlm:audience
evaluatorFactory='org.jasig.portal.layout.dlm.providers.AllUsersEvaluatorFactory'/>
</dlm:fragment>
<dlm:fragment name='frg-i-start' ownerID='i-start-lo' precedence='10'>
<dlm:audience
evaluatorFactory='org.jasig.portal.layout.dlm.providers.PersonEvaluatorFactory'>
<paren mode="NOT">
<attribute name="username" mode='equals' value='guest'/>
</paren>
</dlm:audience>
</dlm:fragment>
the frg-welcome and frg-i-start are merged as expected when a user logs
in; however, the frg-guest is not showing up when a user navigates to
the portal page (prior to login).
thanks, tim

I'd logon with 'guest' and delete all tabs I had permission to delete.
So that the ONLY things left on my layout (while I was "logged on" as
guest) were fragments.

i was able to resolve this issue. i made a rookie mistake!
i was using the group evaluator against a user attribute, so i was
able to get this scenario to work.
now, i am curious about some things that chris and drew mentioned
about creating a blank guest user template, then merging in fragments
as appropriate.
i have not been able to get a guest user fragment to show up. are
there any known gotchas here? when you guys talk about an empty
guest user, how "empty" is it actually... does it just have a root
layout node, or does it need more? less?
thanks, tim

the override is not working as i had expected. currently...
1. i have the portal.properties template user set to 'guest'
2. i have a 'guest' user and associated layout that simply shows the
login screen
3. i defined a few fragments in the dlm.xml file that resolve when
username is not 'guest'
4. i created user ids for each of the fragment owners
5. i created layouts for each of the fragment owners
6. i created a 'tcarroll' user
7. i start the portal, and the 'guest' user template shows up with
the login screen prompting for credentials
8. i login with the 'tcarroll' user id
9. i'm expecting to see the fragments that i created, but i see the
'guest' layout with login screen with welcome tcarroll message
any suggestions?
thanks again, tim

Tim,
Typically, the 'guest' user is the account that all unauthenticated
users get.
The 'guest-lo' user is a DLM fragment owner: the 'guest' user will
see the content of the 'guest-lo' user's layout.
You can actually log in as 'guest-lo'; once you do, you can edit
the content of the Guests fragment.
I should think you probably *do* need a 'guest' user account,
though you can name it something else (if you really want to) in
portal.properties.
You can remove the 'guest-lo' user if you want to. If you do, be
sure to remove the corresponding fragment from dlm.xml.

hi all. we are currently cleaning up our data.xml file, and i'm
am curious about removing the guest user and layout.
we are developing under up26 and using dlm.
there is a dlm guest fragment owner (guest-lo), so i suppose my
real question is...
how are the "guest" user template and "guest-lo" fragment owners
used? are they both necessary? if not, how are each used?
i can't seem to find any real clear references to the difference.
thank so much, tim
