Hey all,

I've got my drupal-powered site almost exactly as I want it, apart from one thing. It's going to be registered-users only - I don't want anonymous people to see anything apart from a login box. http://humhum.be is my style of thing. How can I achieve this?

Right now, with all permissions for anonymous turned off, they still see my navigation, footer, a login block as well as the "access denied" post. Can i change all of this?

I uploaded an HTML page that looks like what I want, but when I put it into the field for 403s in settings it didn't work as expected. Or at all, in fact.

All help gratefully received.

PS If you say "write a module", I'll have no idea what you mean. I'm good at clicking buttons, bad bad bad with php, and have never used "CVS". Please be as explicit as poss.

I followed the link, and only see the log-in box now. So it seems you have figured out a way.

P.S. the position of log-in boxes are different when viewing in IE and Firefox, you might want to do something about it.

oops, sorry, should have been clearer: that site is what I'm trying to achieve...

if you check out coacalina.org i took out the login box and just made a new text link block. it links to the login page when not logged in and the users page when one is logged in.

... but you've also got all your other content on display too. I'm trying to have nothing at all on the front page apart from a login box.

I just created/hacked a new module called front_page...allows you to specify a front-page for both logged-in and not-logged in users.

Also allows you total control over the page.

Yes, I was looking yesterday for an option to remove the navigation block for anonymous users, which I didn't find.

I will write my own patch one of this days.

With use of permissions, I have a site (not ready for public viewing) that, for anyone not logged in, sees the logo and the footer, but no menu bar, no navigation menu, just the login.

If you want no logo or footer, though, I think that would require a custom front page.

I am trying to do this too. Ideally, I would like non-logged in users to just see the login block on an otherwise white page but none of the solutions listed above seem capable of this (I don't want to have to create a custom front page).

That kinda is a custom front page....
