How do I restrict anything being viewed by unregistered or banned users?

[MdSWolfy]

I know there is some if condish that let you control different things based on usergroups, <if condition="is_member_of($bbuserinfo, X)"></if>, something like that. I am wondering how to hide all elements of my site, header content, menu, footer, login box etc.

Basically so if a guest visits the site, they can ONLY see a message or an image.

Can this be done?

Under: Admin Control Panel - Usergroups - Usergroup Manager

You need to Edit Usergroup "Unregistered / Not Logged In" and set Can View Forum to "No".

This may give you what you want as far as just showing a link to register. It will not hide everything though.

You can also surround any code with this to allow only members to see:

<vb:if condition="$show['member']"> ... </vb:if>

I was able to figure this out, thank you very much.
