Cobalt templates are great, but I have a feeling some of its functionalities are not highlited to end user and end user wont know about it until they login. To let user know the functionalities which will enable them to register, I have this proposal for Sergey:

Can we have some control on the backend to show Bookmark, Follow and Compare button to be shown by default on Fronend without Login.

When guest user click Bookmark or Follow, then they will directly either redirected to login page, or show a tooltip saying "please login to have this functionality" or a popus appears for login

For compare , it does not need any login

We also need a better button which clearly displays these functionalities.

I know Sergey is very busy with developments, but having this fature will distinguish cobalt from the rest.

If this is not possible, can someone advises how to do it?

Appreciate a reply at the earliest.

Because nothing will happen and it will confuse user. He clicks and now what? Where to go? What to do? How to select another article? In the list he see box with compare articles basket. And that guide user.

Of course I can add basket to article full view page. But that is already an idea/feature request.

Sergey: we should leave it to end user to find out what he needs to do. For example if you have compare on that record page, and if you have a tab called nearest properties or author's other properties, then you could use compare to compare two records. We should always think of flexibility when before we enforce this restriction.

I agree that compare button in the full article view would be good. I simply try to explain that with how compare works right now it is not possible. Perhaps I'll be able to advance it in Cobalt 9.
