I have successfully enabled the toboggan present login form on access denied (403), however am not sure how i can set my links to be visible to anonymous users. I used views to create the pages and limited access to users with view published content privileges. Problem is if i do not allow anonymous users to view published content in the permissions section the links will not show.

I have tried content access and ACL but they allow anonymous users to view the content. And i can't use the path /?q=user in the text field, titled, Page Not Found 403(access deneid). Any suggestions?

Summary -: I want to show main menu links to pages (e.g. articles) to anonymous users but i want them to be redirected to the log in page when they click the links.

  • I don't understand what it is that you want to show, and what you do not want to show, to your users.

First you need to install the Chaos tool suite (ctools) module, and enable the Page Manager module, and go to admin/structure/pages

Then we need to wrap whatever we are linking to in a Page, handled by the Page Manager. Exactly how we do that will differ a little bit depending on what we are linking to. The page manager contains many options, and I cannot describe all of them in detail here. You may want to watch this video introduction if you have never seen page manager or panels before. Videos 1 to 3 together are less than 30 minutes, and are likely necessary to make sense of the instructions below.

For nodes: Enable the node template.

For Views: Click "Add custom page", add the View in that page instead, and save.

For Module defined pages: Use Page manager existing pages to hand them over to the page manager.

For Something else entirely: Comment on the answer and tell me what it is, and I'll add instructions.

Now, in the Page manager interface for the page you enabled/created above do the following

  1. Create a variant of type "HTTP response code".
  2. Set the response code to 301.
  3. Set the path to /user
  4. Go to "Selection rules" in the left menu
  5. Add "User:role" == "anonymous user"
  6. Save
