Login Mod

Once you select Require Login, all users are required to log in. However, you can work around this somewhat by creating a guest account with something like username: guest, password: guest. You can place some text on the front page and/or login.php page that gives them the guest login information. Then assign user guest to your public tree.
For example, you could place the following in login.php about line 55:
<table width="316" border="1"> <tr> <td width="306"><p class="style1"><strong>For Guest access enter</strong>:</p> <p style="margin-bottom: 0;">USERNAME = guest </p> <p style="margin-top: 0; margin-bottom: 0;">PASSWORD = guest </p> <p style="margin-top: 0; margin-bottom: 0;"><em><span class="style2">The guest account has access to tree but not documents and photos. For full access, please select Register for a User Account on menu to the left. </span></em><span class="style4">I've had to limit access due to problems with guest users.</span> </p></td> </tr> </table>
Also, you can save guests the trouble of typing in the username and password by pre-filling the login form fields in login.php:
Replace
<input type="text" name="tngusername" size="20" />
With
<input type="text" name="tngusername" size="20" value="guest" />
AND
Replace
<input type="password" name="tngpassword" size="20" />
With
<input type="password" name="tngpassword" size="20" value="guest" />
