Be a nice feature if the user login block was automatically hidden when active.

I'm not sure this makes sense. You can give the permission to login to lots of people in which case hiding the block would be a problem.

There are lots of things, like removing permissions to post content/comments for anonymous users or hiding the login block, where they already have admin interfaces and I don't want to duplicate those interfaces.

Title: User login block » Make it easy to hide User login block

We should just make it easy to hide the block by providing a link to the blocks admin page.

It seems we either need to provide a whole list of links, or none. Something like:

You may also want to

  • Configure the User login block
  • Configure comments
  • Adjust other permissions
  • Set a Permissions Mode [only shown if Mode module installed]
  • etc

Do we want something like this on the Maintenance Helper settings page? It sounds more like a help file to me.

Hey Jason,

The short answer is go to Administer->Site Building->Blocks (admin/build/block in Drupal 6 -- not sure in 7) and remove the User Login block.

However, that's not a Maintenance Helper question and isn't this issue -- please post support questions as new "support request" issues instead of hijacking bug reports with questions. Thanks, and good luck!

OK, I probably should have mentioned that I am in Drupal 7.

I can do that, but if I log out, it's really bad. It takes a while to get back in.

I should say that my dad is the computer administrator and he finds a way to log me back in. Any help?
