Hi Hrushikesh,

You can remove the sign-in and register links by removing the code below from your skin's layout.master file.

<portal:RegisterLink id="RegisterLink" runat="server" RenderAsListItem="true" />
<portal:LoginLink id="LoginLink" runat="server" RenderAsListItem="true" />

The links will not be on any page as the site doesn't know if the user is an admin until after they login and then there is no need for a sign-in or register link. Admins will have to know the path to the login page (/secure/login.aspx).

Hope this helps,
Joe D.

Hi Hrushikesh,

After the admin is logged in the Register and Sign-In pages will not work because the user is logged in so there is no need to show those links to a logged-in user, regardless of whether or not the user is an admin.

To remove the links from the site, you must edit the layout.master file that is used by the skin you have chosen for your site. Site skins are located in \Data\Sites\[sitenumber]\skins. In a single site installation, your sitenumber is 1.

Thanks,
Joe D.

I recommend do not add any <script runat="server in the layout.master page, it may break functionality of the code behind class that layout.master inherits from.

Better to just create a UserControl, embed the UserControl in layout.master and then move those link controls out of layout.master into the UserControl and put the same code in the PageLoad for the user control.

In the UserControl you would not need the contentplaceholder, the code in PageLoad could be just

if (
    (WebUser.IsAdminOrContentAdminOrRoleAdmin)
     || (
         (WebConfigSettings.UseRelatedSiteMode)
         && (WebUser.IsInRoles(siteSettings.SiteRootEditRoles))
         )
    )
   {
    this.Visible = true;
    }

else
{ this.Visible = false;}

Best,

Joe

Good points Joe. I sat in the corner with a dunce cap on for 15 minutes and then I followed your advice and created a user control for this. Let me know if I missed anything. I agree this solution is purely cosmetic but I think Hrushikesh isn't after much more than that.

Create two files, AdminOnlyLinks.cs and AdminOnlyLinks.ascx.cs. Save these files in \Controls\Custom (you will have to create the Custom directory).

AdminOnlyLinks.ascx

<%@ Control Language="C#" AutoEventWireup="true" CodeFile="AdminOnlyLinks.ascx.cs" ClassName="AdminOnlyLinks.ascx" Inherits="Controls_AdminOnlyLinks" %>
<portal:SiteMapLink id="SiteMapLink2" runat="server" CssClass="sitelink" RenderAsListItem="true" />
<portal:MyPageLink id="MyPageLink1" runat="server" RenderAsListItem="true" />
<portal:UserProfileLink id="UserProfileLink" runat="server" RenderAsListItem="true" />
<portal:MailboxLink id="MailboxLink1" runat="server" RenderAsListItem="true" />
<portal:SearchInput id="SearchInput1" LinkOnly="True" RenderAsListItem="true" runat="server" />

AdminOnlyLinks.ascx.cs

using System;
using System.Collections.Generic;
using System.Web;
using System.Web.UI;
using System.Web.UI.WebControls;

using mojoPortal.Web;
using mojoPortal.Web.UI;
using mojoPortal.Web.Framework;
using mojoPortal.Business;
using mojoPortal.Business.WebHelpers;

public partial class Controls_AdminOnlyLinks : System.Web.UI.UserControl
{

protected void Page_Load(object sender, EventArgs e)
{
PageSettings currentPageSettings = CacheHelper.GetCurrentPage();
SiteSettings siteSettings = CacheHelper.GetSiteSettings(currentPageSettings.SiteId);
string siteRoot = WebUtils.GetSiteRoot();

if (
(WebUser.IsAdminOrContentAdminOrRoleAdmin)
|| (
(WebConfigSettings.UseRelatedSiteMode)
&& (WebUser.IsInRoles(siteSettings.SiteRootEditRoles))
)
)
{
this.Visible = true;
}

else
{ this.Visible = false;}
}
}

Add the following to your layout.master after the <%@Master.

<%@ Register Src="~/Controls/Custom/AdminOnlyLinks.ascx" TagName="AdminOnlyLinks" TagPrefix="cc1" %>

Add the following to your layout.master in the location you want the links to appear.

<cc1:AdminOnlyLinks id="hiddenlinks1" runat="server" />

Also note:

• The Memberlist and Mypage can be controlled with the "Roles that can view the member list page" permissions under Security in the Site Settings.
• You can also disable Mypage by deselecting the "Enable MyPage Feature" option on the General tab in the Site Settings.
• You can disable registration by deselecting the "Allow New Users to Register" option on the Security tab in the Site Settings.

HTH,
Joe D.
