new topic button for guests on recent page

[MJ]

Guests have on the recent page a button "Log in to post a comment". I want to change it to "New topic" just like logged in users. How do I change it so when a guest clicks on it, the will see the composer and not get linked to the login/register page?

---

Guests see something like this and the go to /login

---

But I want it so that guests see the composer and can start a new topic.

---

Just like when a guest goes to an category page, there he can make a topic in that category.

I assume you have at least one category in which guests can post, yes? If that is the case, then this is a subtle bug IMO. Please report it on Github.

Yes I have all categories (except 1) enabled for guests. I just checked my other NodeBB website and here is the same problem. I have versions 1.10.1 and on the other 1.11.2.

Can you help me, how do I report it on Github, is there a tutorial how to report something on github?

@MJ I'll just create an issue for you so you don't have to worry about it.

For future reference, though:

You go to https://github.com/nodebb/nodebb/issues and click on "New Issue". If you don't already have an account it will ask you to create one, then you can report an issue.

The new issue: https://github.com/NodeBB/NodeBB/issues/7300

closed Recent page has a "Log in to post" button even when guests can post #7300
