Module only for guests

Hey there,

i try to configure a module that is only visible to users who are not logged in.

i set the acess for the module to guest, but that didn't work, still everybody could see the module.

Then i googled the problem and found a tutorial that said that it's not that easy, as usergroups are not exclusive, so everything a guest can see, is also visible to registered, admin and so on, so it's easy to assign a minimum access level, but difficult to allow something to a guest, but not to registered users, admins etc.
Anyway, it was said i have to make a new usergroup called "gäste" (parent public), a new access level called "gast" where only "gäste" have viewing access, and put that new group as guest user group in Users: options in joomla, and finally set access for the module to that new usergroup.

It still didn't work.

I asked for help, and that guy said problem may be connected with community builder.

I have no clue why that guy thinks CB could cause the problem, but anyway,
has anybody had a similar problem or an idea how i could have my "only for guests module"?

CB can not override ACL. It has no control over Joomla modules. The only way CB can control module access is with CBSubs and even then it does not take over ACL, but can only hide modules after ACL has been checked by Joomla. See the below Joomla tutorial on how to properly setup Guest access.

docs.joomla.org/J3.x:Access_Control_List_Tutorial#Allowing_Guest-Only_Access_to_Menu_Items_and_Modules

mhh...made it exactly that way shown in your tutorial, still doesn't work.

It is not our tutorial. It is Joomlas. That feature has nothing to do with CB and is entirely Joomla. Post on the Joomla forums below if you've issues with Guest ACL.
