Category Protect

1º - Javascript:
Placement: In home page

Code:

[panda=js]        $(function() {
        if (document.getElementById('logout') == null) {
        var sCategory = 'POSITION OF THE CATEGORY';
        $('.main-content:eq(' + sCategory + ')').addClass('protect');
        }
        });

[ic]var sCategory = 'POSITION OF THE CATEGORY';[/ic] - 'Position of the category' change with a number of category. For example: If you have only 2 categories (general and off topic) and you want to protect off topic from guests write [ic]var sCategory = '1';[/ic]

2º - CSS:

Code:

[panda=css].protect:after {
              background: none repeat scroll 0px 0px rgba(255, 255, 255, 0.7);
              bottom: 0px;
              content: "Members Only";
              font-size: 30px;
              left: 0px;
              line-height: 300px;
              position: absolute;
              right: 0px;
              text-align: center;
              top: 0px;
              z-index: 10;
        }
        .protect {
              position: relative;
        }
