Description
Scenario: I want to force users to log in before doing anything on site. However, I'd also like visitors to directly access some guest-enabled courses without having to sign in as a guest. Under Moodle 1.6 this was possible and indeed this was how it worked on our Moodle.
However, under Moodle 1.8.2+ when torcelogin and autologinguests are both enabled the regular Moodle front page displays to any user who has not yet logged in. It seems that they are automatically logged in as a guest and forcelogin is bypassed.
There is therefore a bit of a conflict between these two settings that maybe needs ironing out. Maybe forcelogin should trump autologinguests, or maybe autologinguests can be granularised so that it can be applied to course contexts (and can therefore be removed from the front-page course)?
A similar report to this: http://moodle.org/mod/forum/discuss.php?d=74901
We have the same problem here and can confirm the conflict.
We have previously and would like to continue to have both forcelogin and autologinguests enabled
