Remove login button

[JaredBusch]

Is there an easy place to remove the login button from being seen?

Using NodeBB for a small project with only a couple people posting but many public users that will never have login capabilities.

@jaredbusch you could try something like this in your custom css in the ACP:

a[href="/login"] {
  display: none !important;
}

The only idea I have is to remove the login button in the template.

The only problem what I see is that the login ist bound to many buttons ins the template eg on the categories view Login to post a topic, ...

So maybe you could replace the login button in the login.tpl.

I search in ACP for "login" but I couldn't find any setting to disable login global on the forum.

Easiest way is probably too hide it with CSS.

Yeah, there never has been.

That is what I was assuming I would need to do. Was hoping though.

Any pointer on the best way to handle it, that will survive upgrades, before I try and break things?

so as a quick test, a little searching in the persona theme source login, I found I could refine it to this.

https://github.com/NodeBB/nodebb-theme-persona/search?q=guest+login

Then I added a quick inline style command to hide it in those 6 returned locations.

Then there were two place in /templates/partials/menu.tpl that referenced /login. I did the same there.

Would this be simple enough for a theme setting? Obviously not as an inline style.. that was simply the easilet/quickest way to see if hiding those elements worked.

Rebuilt and gone.

That did it.
