Can someone explain FREE MODE

I have searched the site and documentation on this. I am trying to have a complete members only site. I want people to have to register to gain access. I thought that was what Free Mode did, but since I disabled it, I have seen NO change in the way the site operates. Can someone explain it to me.

thanks,

tom

You have to set all option for Guest level off to get visitors register. 
Go to admin - settings - membership levels ...  and click on non-member of the standard leveles to see what to may do on your site.

Also into Builders - naviagtion - menu blocks (set for guests/members)

I hope it helps you further...

OK, i went ahead and turned off everything for non members in the membership settings and the site is set not set on Free Mode. The issue is that if I turn off all the navigation items from displaying for non members, then it doesnt look as attractive to signup. What I was hoping for is the ability to have the nav still show everything but then prompt uses for a registration if they are not logged in.

mod Page Access Contro

that would help :)

insert this into the pages you require security...check its not there first if it is set the member_auth to false...it will tell them they have to login.

//Stop non members seeing pages you dont want them to
if ( !( $logged['admin'] = member_auth( 1, false ) ) )
{
if ( !( $logged['member'] = member_auth( 0, true ) ) )
{
if ( !( $logged['aff'] = member_auth( 2, false )) )
{
$logged['moderator'] = member_auth( 3, false );
}
}
}

Thanks, thats a cool mod, but not exactely what I am looking for. I would like people to be prompted to register when they try to access an area, not be told their membership level isnt sufficient. Is this not something that I can do in dolphin out of the box. Its seems this Free Mode would do it, but it doesnt do anything that I can tell.

Kosmic,

thanks for the code, that did the trick.
