Log in as guest - Githubissues

ihh commented 6 years ago

[ ] Add "Continue as guest" option to login page. Creates guest account, logs in
[ ] Guest accounts never claim ownership of symbols they create. Message compose window for guests does not show message header (recipient & title) or send button in subnavbar, allowing only tweets (#53). Changing any config detail about a guest account converts it to a regular account
[ ] By default, log in as guest the first time the page is visited
[ ] Display a welcome/help message for guest logins

Or, just create a single @guest account with password guest, that client logs user in as by default, and whose password or 'guest' status cannot be changed. Cheaper solution (no proliferation of guest accounts from one-time visits) When client is logged into a guest account, it hides inbox & follow buttons in navbar, along with name/bio customization buttons on config page Guest accounts don't save drafts

Or, just relax some of the ClientController method policies in config/policies.js, specifically for the methods that retrieve/edit/expand symbol definitions (getOrCreateSymbolByName, getSymbolsByOwner...) and the autosuggest methods (suggestTemplates, suggestSymbol), and ensure that all those methods can operate and function sensibly without a playerID

Then modify the UI to allow the status, compose, grammar pages to function just fine when playerID is not set, and make settings page change 'Log out' text to 'Log in' when playerID not set, and also hide mailboxes tab; and then 'Continue as guest' just means 'continue with playerID not set'
