How to create a custom banner to alert users they must login to interact with content?

I haven’t done that, but it’s on my list. 

I have done the opposite with the help of support. They created a third-party script to hide a few HTML widgets I wanted to just show to logged-in users:

These are both form-based apps I don’t want to expose to the world. And guest visitors don’t need to know about. 

Their third-party script identified the widget by it’s name, I believe, so I’m guessing they could help you target that to show to only unauthenticated users. 

Here’s the third party script in the Before </Body> section

<script>
  // script to display CUSTOM POINTS html widget for registered users

 if (inSidedData.user.role == 'roles.guest') {
	document.getElementById('custom_points_widget').style.display = "none";
 }

</script>

My HTML widgets have code to specify the name of the element

<div id="custom_points_widget">

Can you use the other widgets like the topic banner? Probably. If you can identify the element ID, they should be able to build a similar script to hide it for roles that are logged-in.

Isn’t that already built into inSided? What I see when I visit our community and not logged in and then try to interact with content is a pop up prompting me to log in.

@Scott Baldwin, yes that is the setup. I was looking for something further than that so they know they must create an account if they are a new user. (trying to make it as clear as possible as we have received feedback that it’s not)

And/or also a phrase that let’s them know they need to activate their notification email to make the approval process go faster.
