Lock topic content for logged out users

AI-generated summary

The topic centers around a request for a feature to lock specific content within a Discourse topic, making it visible only to logged-in users. Cam_Logical initiated the discussion, noting similarities between Discourse and Flarum – specifically mentioning Flarum’s locking and sticky features (https://github.com/flarum/lock, https://github.com/flarum/sticky) – and inquiring about similar functionality in Discourse. They seek a function to hide content from guests until they register, and clarify that the “Guest Gate” plugin doesn’ exactly meet their needs (#9).

Serakoi asked for a screenshot of the topic view, while awesomerobot stated that Discourse doesn’t have a plugin for locking specific content within a post, suggesting a theme component for protected category previews (https://meta.discourse.org/t/category-previews/155296).

if you want to tell me about guest gate plugin, It still bug and It not What I am looking for.

Flarum is the first true competitor to Discourse (not to mention that it is free). XenForo was sort of just a modernized version of vBulletin.

I cannot wait to see what the future holds! :left_speech_bubble: :grin:

We don’t have a plugin that locks specific content within a post. The closest thing we have at the moment might be this theme component that allows you to show a preview of a protected category.
