      Make sure that forceloginforprofiles and autologinguests are both on.

      You will need two users. One user who just needs to exist (and thus have a profile) and another who you will actually use to test.

      Check that your user has the ability to view the other person's profile.
      ----------------------------------------------------------
      Log out.

      You are going to test two URLs. N == the ID of the user whose profile you are going to access. X == a course ID.

      user/view.php?id=N&course=X

      user/profile.php?id=N

      Access a URL. You should get a message saying that you cannot access profiles as guest.

      Click continue and log in. You should be sent back to the URL and now be viewing a user profile.

      Log out and repeat with the second URL. It should behave the same.

    Description

      /user/profile.php and /user/view.php handle a guest user accessing profiles differently when forceloginforprofiles is turned on.

      One was improved in MDL-47238 but for some reason the other was neglected.
