I think that this would be fine, then.
We can change the default look for all pages except for the discussion boards page.
I think that we can use the look that you created on beta with the administration link at the bottom.
For the discussion boards, then, we should some kind of more obvious login mechanism if we actually want people to post questions.
Yours,
Christian

Christian-
I am copying James Ward on this email to double check my response. (He is not in the office otherwise I would have him check it prior to sending!!!) I also figure you will forgive me if I am wrong.
Relative to your first comment: We wouldn’t have to necessarily use a different skin. The login module can be implemented into one of the side navigation columns or into a different content area of the page relatively easy. Either that, or we just make the existing login link only accessible here. We could play with positioning and hierarchy. We have done similar things…for different purposes, with other AG clients.
Relative to the second question, this should do nothing to impact anyone’s ability to log into AG one way or the other…that I am aware of. The one caveat to this I will say is that this assumes that James/Cathy/Mary have not agreed to a change in the site that would prevent this from happening and I have not been informed. Hence, the reason I am copying James on this email.
FYI…I have passed the URL’s you shared with me on to the team for conversion of the pages. Hopefully, the issue will be completely resolved (finally) tomorrow.
Thoughts?
Darren

Hi, Darren,
If we did that, we’d need to use a skin different from the one we’d be using on other pages.
I don’t really have a problem with that.
What will happen when we start having people sign into AG via the NEST after the admit stage? Will they no longer be able to log in via AG?
Yours,
Christian

Christian-
Have you considered allowing the login only on the message boards page as a way to address this? It is standard on message boards that users have to identify themselves, so it shouldn’t be seen as a barrier to users.
Thoughts?

Hi Christian,
In regards to your questions below:
1) Unfortunately, the Forums module doesn’t support allowing unauthenticated users to post messages at this time.
2) The stretching problem has been corrected. We believe the user: tshidaki <https://admissions.creighton.edu/CULive/MessageBoards/tabid/341/ctl/UserProfile/mid/850/userid/62890/Default.aspx> was logged in when starting to reply to the post but took too long to reply and was logged out in the meantime. When he submitted the post he was prompted to log back in before posting and the site lost who the poster was. Again this has been corrected and is now showing correctly.
Please let me know if you have further questions or concerns on either of the above.
Thanks,
Bryon Kuehn

Hi, Bryon,
I wanted to find out a couple things about the message boards: https://admissions.creighton.edu/CULive/MessageBoards/tabid/341/Default.aspx
- Right now, users have to be logged in to post a comment. But if we get rid of the login for any non-administrator user until they reach admit stage, that means they can’t post a message. Can we make it so that they don’t have to be logged in?
- For some reason the module is looking strange, stretched too far horizontally. Can that be fixed?
Thanks and have a great weekend.
Yours,
Christian
