In some scenarios, you may want to maximize engagement by allowing anonymous users to submit posts or vote on existing ones without encountering the login prompt. By default, Sleekplan will trigger a login popup when a user performs an authentication-required action.
For use cases where anonymous posting and voting are the goal, this login prompt can feel like an unnecessary barrier that discourages participation.
👉 The following workaround uses a bit of custom JavaScript to automatically “skip” the login prompt whenever it appears. This creates a more seamless anonymous experience and can help increase user engagement.
The Code Snippet
Copy and paste the following script into your site or app
window.document.addEventListener('sleek:init', () => { $sleek.on('user_auth_required', function () { setTimeout(() => {
const iframe = document.getElementById('sleek-widget');
const link = iframe?.contentWindow?.document.querySelector('.login-skip > a');
if (link) { link.click(); }
}, 100);
});
}, false);
How it works
This snippet does three main things:
👉Waits for Sleekplan to Initialize
window.document.addEventListener('sleek:init', () => { ... });Ensures the script runs only after the Sleekplan SDK is fully loaded.
👉Listens for the Login Prompt Event
$sleek.on('user_auth_required', function () { ... });Hooks into the user_auth_required event, which is triggered whenever a user attempts an action that normally requires login.
👉Automatically Clicks "Skip"
const link = iframe?.contentWindow?.document.querySelector('.login-skip > a');
if (link) {
link.click();}
Finds the "Skip" link inside the Sleekplan widget and programmatically clicks it, bypassing the login prompt for the user.
Notes:
⚠️Unofficial Hack: This is not an officially supported Sleekplan feature. It’s
a workaround intended for specific use cases where anonymous engagement is the goal.
🔒 Authentication Disabled: With this in place, users will not be required to log in. Make sure this aligns with your community strategy and moderation needs.
🚀 Benefit: A smoother, barrier-free experience for users who only want to post or vote anonymously.
