I have a political site where the forums and blogs are used. However, they would love to have these areas non-accessible without authentication. There is just no option to allow or disallow access based on user type. I thought about placing the permissions script based on login type, however, there is no place to put this in.

Does anybody have any suggestions on how I could prevent anonymous users from being able to directly browse to the forums or blogs?

Thanks!

For the blog block, just add the appropriate code at this page http://drupal.org/node/64135

For the forum, look into TAC. I have most of my forum hidden from unauthenticated users.

TAC is also useful if you need to be sure important general information (like site downtime notifications) is visible to your entire audience.

I know of the code for blocking the block, just wish there was something to block access to it. :)

Thanks for letting me know about TAC
