Then there must still be a page referenced that Everyone don't have access to.

Well, I have checked all the pages on the "Set access rights" page and verified that all pages have full access rights and everyone has read access.

I first removed "news". This worked okey. "News" was removed from the menu. After removing "Events" and "Documents" (unchecking read for Everyone and check for "Apply settings for sub pages" and "Add selected rows and delete unselected rows") I found that the login page appeared even though I did the same procedure for "News" first.

Did you apply the "Apply for subpages" when you switched the access right back on? If there's a reference to a sub page without everyone - read, you will get the logon screen.

Yes, actually I checked all pages that comes in the public installation and checked that all pages showed all rights for administrator and read for everyone.

I did a new test today on my core public template site.
This is what I did:

- First I unchecked Everyone for the "News" menu and checked "Apply settings for sub pages" and "Add selected rows and delete unselected rows". I also checked  "Select all" for both everyone and "Administrators". Testing this was okey. The page appeared

- Then I did the same for "Documents". Page appeared.

- Then "Events". Page appeared.

- Then "Examples". And then the loginpage appeared.

Is this a default installation, or have you done some modifications? Eg. do you have a settings-section on a page that everyone does not have access to?

The installation is a plain public site with no modifications.

Is this a clean Public Templates install, or have you moved/edited some pages? Here's a short checklist if you get the login dialog:

1. You forgot to give the group "Everyone" read access to the web page.
2. The web page has expired (Stop Publish date has passed).
3. The web page has been deleted to the Recycle Bin (where Everyone/anonymous users don't have read access).
4. The web page contains a link to (or is configured as a shortcut to) a page that has been deleted.
5. The web page contains an image or document from the file archive where the anonymous user doesn't have read access.

Go to admin mode, access rights, click on Examples and tell me what everyone looks like

Examples - only administrator

    Privacy - only administrator

    File Explorer - only administrator

    Login - only administrator

    Registration - only administrator

    Subscribe - only administrator

    Demo - only administrator

    Sitemap - only administrator

    Search - only administrator

    Contact - only administrator

Hi Arild! :)

1. You forgot to give the group "Everyone" read access to the web page.

                    Everyone have access to "Start" and "RSS"

      2.    The web page has expired (Stop Publish date has passed).

                       Well, the site was installed yesterday, I don't think any of the pages have expired yet, but I'll check.

      3.    The web page has been deleted to the Recycle Bin (where Everyone/anonymous users don't have read access).

                 No pages have been deleted. It's a pure public installation.

     4.     The web page contains a link to (or is configured as a shortcut to) a page that has been deleted.

                I don't think this is included in a public site installation, but I'll check.

    5.     The web page contains an image or document from the file archive where the anonymous user doesn't have read access.

                   Perhaps. I would guess that "Everyone" should have access to all that is present on the front page.

Actually when I turned of "News" and "Events" I thought that I should get the loginpage because the startpage/front page shows a list for both news and events, but when these pages are turned for for "Everyone" the lists disappear on the front page which is okey.

What I find strange is that loginpage appears after some menuitems have been turned of for everyone.
What I find even s t r a n g e r is that turning back read access for everyone on each menuitem doesn't show the frontpage.
I just reversed what I did and the loginpage still appears.
To make it work normal again I have to inherit all the rights from startpage ("Apply settings for sub pages" on startpage).

The demopage under examples shows a shockwave/flash file, but security settings for this file in file explorer is disabled.
I'm therefore not sure if the problem is related to this file.

Same goes for Sample document.doc on the menuitem "Test doc" under "Documents" menuitem. Security settings is disabled.

The startpage have references to: Privacy, Contact and Site map (Under site configuration)

If you remove access right on those pages, you will get the logon screen. Create a new page Example2 and move the three pages there, your front page appears without login again

That helped a lot.

But I still don't understand why the frontpage didn't appear after reversing the access rights modifications.

What I mean is that I gave "Everyone" read access for all menuitems below startpage and checked for subpages and "Add selected rows and delete unselected rows" again, but the login screen was still showing.
Perhaps it was a caching problem.

Well - I think I'll leave it at that. Thanks for all contributions, and happy coding everyone! :)

Have a nice weekend!

I still don't understand why login page appeared after applying access rights to "Everyone" again.

I verified that "Everyone" had access rights to all pages on the public installation, but the only thing that made the page appear at once,

was to inherit access rights from startpage.
