Component suggestion: Guest account

Johannes Genberg Posted in Component Development 5 years ago

Here is a suggestion for a component: one that create a guest account (or makes it possible to make one out of an existing one) into a guest account; that allows you to log in but not write or edit anything, just read what's there and look around.

I have had plenty of people lately who says they want to have a look before creating an account. So something like this would be hugely appreciated.

I did this for my site... but it is like any other account. I had to remove the delete account function found in the GDPR component so no one could delete it. Seems to work pretty good as a guestbook for the site. Check it out if you will. Username: Guest - Password: 1234pass
The site is located at https://3ncircle.com/N37WORK

i would suggest using the social theme. this at least gives a view of latest members and recent post before login or creating an account.

That's unfortunate. It would be really useful. But thanks for the answer :-)

😊 Not that easy to create guest account i believe. It requires to take care of additional actions to see when its guest account and when not and there are too many actions to look into.
