How to enable links for non-logged in Confluence users?

David Harms

I use Confluence for a subscription-based web site, and at present if users aren't logged in any links to subscriber content are disabled. This is sometimes confusing for my non-logged in users. I would like to enable the links at all times so the users are prompted to log in when necessary. Is this possible?

Thanks,

Dave

While not the idea solution, the following is the best option I've come up with so far. I added the following Javascript in Custom HTML at the end of the page. It looks for URLs that end in # (Confluence's convention for hiding inaccessible URLs) and replaces them with one of two publicly-accessible pages on my site, depending on whether or not the user is logged in.

<script type="text/javascript">
AJS.toInit(function ($) {
        for (var ls = document.links, numLinks = ls.length, i=0; i<numLinks; i++){
            if (!!ls){
	        var l = ls[i].href;
                if (l.indexOf("#") + 1 == l.length){
                    if (AJS.params.remoteUser == ''){
                        ls[i].href= "insert login-required URL here";
                    } else {
                        ls[i].href= "insert not-covered-by-subscription URL here";
                    }
                }
            }
        }
});
</script>
