hide knowledgebase article but allow non-logged in users to view

[sol2010]

Hello

 

I would like to find some way (code in the template or otherwise) to allow a non-registered user to visit a specific knowledgebase URL (they receive in email etc), but not have that knowledgebase article visible on the site to the public.

 

I've played with all the functions, but can't seem to find a way to do it, except the "Hide" function which then requires users to log in - but the article I want to share will be targeted at non registered users, so I don't want them to log in.

 

More than happy to just add some kind of exclude statement in knowledgebasecat.tpl file - so that I can simply hide it from the category page, but what code would I use? Is their a simple exclude function that I could use in the foreach argument?

 

The category ID is 9 and the article ID is 51. (would prefer top just hide the category if possible)

 

Here is my idea for code from knowledgebasecat.tpl - tested but not working

Any one can help me please?

 

<div class="control-group">

{foreach name=kbasecats from=$kbcats item=kbcat}

{if $kbcat.id ! = "9"}  // added this in but not working

<div class="col4">
       <div class="internalpadding">
           <img src="images/folder.gif" /> <a href="{if $seofriendlyurls}knowledgebase/{$kbcat.id}/{$kbcat.urlfriendlyname}{else}knowledgebase.php?action=displaycat&catid={$kbcat.id}{/if}" class="fontsize2"><strong>{$kbcat.name}</strong></a> ({$kbcat.numarticles})<br />
           {$kbcat.description}
       </div>
   </div>
   {/if} // end of my added in code


{if ($smarty.foreach.kbasecats.index+1) is div by 4}<div class="clear"></div>{/if}
{/foreach}
</div>
