Theme by Role

By berenErchamion on 15 Oct 2008 at 20:18 UTC

Hi All,

I was looking for a way to have themes vary by roles, including an anonymous theme. I'm working on a public website and would like to have a way to have a "public" look and then have a look for people that have logged in that is based on roles. I saw that Drupal 5 had a module to help out with this, but there's no work underway yet to port it up. I'll take a look into that, but first wanted to know if there's another solution people have found to this issue.

I was also generally curious how people provide a login function that is available for people that can login, but is hidden to anonymous users of a drupal site. Do you just bury the login block on a page that is not linked to the main site?

Advice would be much appreciated.

the http://drupal.org/project/sections module should be able to do it and iirc there's a d6 release already.

just turn off the login block at admin/build/blocks and instruct your users to login at http://example.com/user
