Show Ribbon always to Visitors

Question

Is there any way to show Ribbon for visitors, in all pages, by default?

Normal Page View for Visitors: (No Ribbon)

Normal Page for Editors:

I am looking for a solution to display the ribbon for Visitors by default (even though only alertme and Email a Link will be enabled)

Editor's view of Page with Web Parts :

Editor's view of Page with Web Parts when a webpart is selected :

Visitors View of the page with Multiple Web Parts (No Ribbon)

As you can see even if I select the Web Part, Ribbon will not be displayed.

Ribbon will be shown if the visitor visits the document library page. For example

I am looking for a solution by which I can display the ribbon always for all users.

Answer 1

Used Ribbon.CommandUIVisible property. I wrote code to set its value as True for everypage load.

public void ShowRibbon()
{
    SPRibbon current = SPRibbon.GetCurrent(this.Page);

    if (current != null && this.Page.Request.IsAuthenticated)
    {
        current.CommandUIVisible = true;
    }
}

What would you like the ribbon to show, when clicking the web parts?

What i'm trying to say is that the ribbon depends on context. If you have the appropriate rights, it will show you Item and List tabs in a list, but only when you are on the list forms pages, since that is the context that triggers the ribbon to show.

When looking at Xml List view web parts representing lists and libraries, you do not get a ribbon, unless you are in edit mode or clicked "Show Ribbon" from Site Actions (and this button only shows up if you enabled "Show Ribbon" in http://yourSite/_layouts/AreaNavigationSettings.aspx). When you do see the ribbon, what you see will again depend on context: if you are in edit mode and select a row in a list view web part, you will see Web Part Tools > Options, Page Tools > Insert and List Tools > Items | List.

If you are on a published page you should only see List Tools > Items | List` which i guess is the one you want? Just remember that you need to click on the list item to get the ribbon, since it works in context of what you select.
