Is it possible to "autologin" as a Guest, but then have a "log in" button on everypage?
I would like my guest seeing the data, but not bothering to know that they have a protected area. <img src='https://asprunner.com/forums/file.php?topicimage=1&fieldname=question&id=8149&image=1&table=forumtopics' class='bbc_emoticon' alt=':)' />

thanks.

Usual process when user sees a Login/password area and then beneath sees the Login as guest, does not appeal.
I would like to have a default guest login.

Just point Guest users directly to the list or menu page. They will be logged in automatically.

hi, thank you for this great suggestion, but the problem is now a bit different.

  1. you reach the setup guest user screen without actually building a table with paswords and logins.
    what I meant by that:
  2. let's say you are on a security screen


and enter the admin data
2. you cannot simply reach the screen where it asks you to use check mark to allow guest logins.
you can only have this enabled if you did setup a special password/login table (but I want only hard coded 1 admin and that'is it, no additional tables)
see?

in the picture below once I have created a special table I was able to reach the security screen options previously unavailable.


and only the reach the add login as guest


could you add the option login as guest at the very 1st screen please, or show me the other way please?

Guest login is only available when you use database-based security.

This behavior is by design. Add a simple login table to your project and you'll be fine.
