Describe the feature you'd like

Would it be possible to have the setting options to hide/display Footer Links (set in Settings-->Customization) in Log-In page?

Describe the benefits this would bring to existing BookStack users

It would be of great help to have the option to display only Log-in functionalities for closed/semi-closed site(s).

Can the goal of this request already be achieved via other means?

No.

Have you searched for an existing open/closed issue?

I have searched for existing issues and none cover my fundemental request

How long have you been using BookStack?

0 to 6 months

Additional context

No response

Hi @wxrl,
I generally try to avoid any settings that add visual variation like this. Combined with this being a relatively unique request, It's likely not something I'd look to add.

Can the goal of this request already be achieved via other means?
No.

The visual theme system can be used for this. You could override the footer view, and update the first line to be the following:

@if(count(setting('app-footer-links', [])) > 0 && signedInUser())

Since I wouldn't look to add this specific option, as per my comment above, and since there's been no further discussion, I'll close this off.
