[UltraFanatics]

Panic over!

I found the old code still in my template for some reason so must have affected it majorly. PHEW!

Now working perfect so thanks mate, a truely superb mod but remember everyone to delete your old code.

Quick question - This doesn't affect spiders and vbseo looking at the hidden posts does it?

[KURTZ]

Dismounted comes onto 3.7.x ... :D

[7lanet]

Does this affect the work of archiving search engines? ex / google : yahoo ???

If you were to make it show for search engines and not guests, that would be bad for seo anyway.

This shows that people don't read the ReadMe file ;).

See below. SEs will penalise you for doing that. I believe that some will even remove your listing. Posts in the archive are not "hidden", so they will still be indexed anyway. I am looking in to having an option to "hide" posts in the archive as well.

nice mod, thanks

[verino]

Thank's mate *installed* :D

Nevermind, need to disabled it for certain forum :D

ehehe slowly and painless ... :D

ps. thx for the update ;)

[Mecho]

This is one of my favorite mods . using for along time and i'm happy to have it .

Great update Dismounted , just one suggestion :

to make it easier for us make an admin option that we can put the forums id and exclude the forums that we want , instead of go to each forum and set them one by one :D

Thanks man

[unicorn2433]

Does this affect the work of archiving search engines? ex / google : yahoo ???

wondering same thing.
Will the search engines still be able to do their thing?

[Dismounted]

The reason I won't do this is because it is not "non-geek" user friendly. vBulletin has the functionality to set things on a forum basis via the Admin CP, that is what I will utilise.

Please read the thread ;).

[jorgejgm]

In old versions was modifying the postbit template to introduce new columns with code of adsense. Since I can do it in this version?

Thankyou

[UltraFanatics]

I didn't realise that this affects search engines and vbseo, I guess I will have to uninstall it :(

Damn my favourite mod too

You can do anything to your postbit template - the new version does not even touch it.

[jorgejgm]

I do not find the code in the postbit:

<!-- Start Guests First Post Only Hack -->
<if condition="$memid == 1">
<br />
<table class="tborder" cellpadding="$stylevar[cellpadding]" cellspacing="$stylevar[cellspacing]" border="0" width="100%" align="center">
<tr>
<td class="tcat">Welcome!</td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td class="alt1">To see more of this thread, please login or <a href="register.php">register</a>.</td>
</tr>
</table>
</if>
</if>
<!-- End Guests First Post Only Hack -->

you use a new code?because de mod work

Thankyou

[UltraFanatics]

Does anyone actually know how bad this affects engines and vbseo?

I really dont want to uninstall this mod but if it realy does affect them then I think I will have too :(

Thankyou
Please read the ReadMe carefully. If you are installing a new copy - read the "Installation" section. If you are upgrading from 1.4/1.3/1.2/1.1, read the "Upgrading from Pre-1.5" section. If you are upgrading from 1.5, read the "Upgrading After 1.5" section.
Does anyone actually know how bad this affects engines and vbseo?
The only thing that happens is that SEs don't see your second, third, etc. posts, only the first. Therefore, they will only index the first post of a thread.

[jorgejgm]

Hello,
In the readme.html does not say anything, ultimately investigating I have seen that is necessary to modify postbit_gfpo for the last version.

Regards.

[Dismounted]

You should have said you wanted to modify the message. You seemed like you were upgrading and couldn't find the old code to remove.

You can modify the phrases "gfpo_login_or_register" and "gfpo_welcome" to change the messages. These phrases are used in three places (postbit_gfpo, printthread_gfpo, and in the archive).

[jorgejgm]

Sorry, my english bad bad bad

[Koroku]

Is there a way of installing this so that by default, all forums are visible?

I have a single forum that I would like to use this on, and about 100 that I don't... so I don't really want to have to go and manually edit the 100 others. >_>

Otherwise, this sounds like a great mod :D

[Dismounted]

One moment, everyone wants it all on by default, the next, everyone wants it off. :D

In the XML, find:
$db_alter->add_field(array(
'name' => 'gfpo_enabled',
'type' => 'smallint',
'attributes' => 'unsigned',
'null' => false,
'default' => 1
));
Replace With:
$db_alter->add_field(array(
'name' => 'gfpo_enabled',
'type' => 'smallint',
'attributes' => 'unsigned',
'null' => false,
'default' => 0
));

Find:
$forum = array_merge($forum, array('gfpo_enabled' => 1, 'gfpo_enabled_archive' => 0));
Replace With:
$forum = array_merge($forum, array('gfpo_enabled' => 0, 'gfpo_enabled_archive' => 0));

[glenvw]

I have a lot of trouble getting people to register. Do you that use this find this helps?

Also, does this prevent the search engines from spidering?

[Koroku]

One moment, everyone wants it all on by default, the next, everyone wants it off. :DThanks!

Maybe you could do something like have two versions of the mod - one with it on by default, one with it off. :DAlso, does this prevent the search engines from spidering?Read the thread~

[G-man]

Just installed this on forums, but it does nto seem to function. Is there a place I can check what usergroup ID I need to have the guest group AKA unregistered/notlogged in set at?

BTW I DID read the instructions, thanks...

[Dismounted]

You shouldn't have to set anything, except for enable/disable it for each forum.

[westward]

Ok, so I have everything installed. As per this request (https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/showthread.php?t=185947) - what should I be looking for so that only paid subscribers can view the entire thread - and only non paid subscribers can view the first post.

Thanks!

[Dismounted]

What is the usergroup ID of "non-subscribers"?

[westward]

the subscribers to one forum is 9 and another forum is 10

[kofoid]

love it - thanks!

[Deepdog009]

Dank U!

[Dismounted]

the subscribers to one forum is 9 and another forum is 10
What is the usergroup ID of "non-subscribers"?
That is, the IDs of usergroups who should see the message.

[westward]

got it, okay so for one it would be "1,2,3,4,8,10"

and the other would be "1,2,3,4,8,9"

Did I understand the question correctly?

[Dismounted]

And the respective forum IDs?

[westward]

the former is 52, and the latter is 53

[Dismounted]

Use this product XML instead of the normal one (note that it will override any forum settings set for the modification).

[westward]

Thanks, I'll give it a try - Should I un-install the original first?

[Dismounted]

No, I don't think you will have to.

[westward]

The mod works as long as the user's primary usergroup is set, but not if the user is in the additional usergroup setting.

I looked at the xml code to see if I could make the modification to include users that are in the additional usergroup setting - but am very new to vb code - could you point me in the right direction?

thanks,
westward

[Dismounted]

It should work for both - I don't see any reason why it wouldn't.

[UKBusinessLive]

Excellent Mod, and soooooo easy to install.

A Credit to you Sir :)

Thanks

[john102774]

This is indeed one of my favorite Mod.. Great stuff! :)

[AmexBlackG5]

Great Mod :)

[Traxdata]

Description:
This mod only shows the first post of a thread to guests. After it displays the first post, it then displays a message telling the guest to login or register.



also possible for some usergroups and not for guests only?
thank you

[Dismounted]

Nearly anything is possible ;). You'll have to edit the plugins yourself as it is not default functionality and is not intended to be.

[mechanist]

Excellent Add-On
Thank you !

Installed without any Problems ! :)

[JonnyC1802]

Great MOD, but I have the same problem as above

I need the subscribed users (usergroup 9) to be able to see the full posts in forums 6 ,7, 8 and 9 but registered users only see the 1st post

Please can you point me in the right direction as to what i need to alter as I may need to add other forums to the above list

Thanks in advance

[Dismounted]

You'll need to edit most of the plugins for the product. Change the guest checks into usergroup checks.

[JonnyC1802]

You'll need to edit most of the plugins for the product. Change the guest checks into usergroup checks.

Thanks for the reply

I understand how to edit the plugins for the products, but am unsure how you mean to change the guest checks into usergroup checks, please could you explain this

many thanks

Jon

[Dismounted]

Change the conditionals that check if a user is a guest into one for usergroups...

[JonnyC1802]

Thanks for the reply

I changed in the product xml file every entry of

$show['guest']

to

"is_member_of($bbuserinfo,1,2,3,4,8)"

I then reimported the product

but now even subscribed users (9) or Admins (6) cant see any replies

Have I replaced one somewhere I shouldnt ???

any help is greatly appreciated

Thanks

[ahuf]

I recently installed 3.7.4 and then found this mod and it got me very interested. However everything works to plan as far as the install. but then when I logout myself and try to see if it worked. it gives me this message There are no posts in this forum.

could it be vb 3.7.4?

Thank you

and great mod idea

[Dismounted]

I will look into it as time permits. However, I have not seen anyone else report this problem. Try disabling any modifications you have running.

MySQL Error : Mixing of GROUP columns (MIN(),MAX(),COUNT(),...) with no GROUP columns is illegal if there is no GROUP BY clause

I used this mod on 3.6 and loved it. Haven't been able to get it working on 3.7. I've removed the template edits, removed the xml file, etc. No avail. Anybody have a clue what's going on?

[Dismounted]

That error does not seem to be caused by this modifications. Judging by the error, it looks like it is caused by PhotoPlog.

[benstillman]

That error does not seem to be caused by this modifications. Judging by the error, it looks like it is caused by PhotoPlog.

Odd that photoplog is (and has been for a while) disabled. This error only occurs when I enable this mod. As soon as I disable it, the error goes ago. Also, the error only appears for guests. For logged in users the page loads fine without error.

[benstillman]

Weird as hell.....

I went ahead and tried it again just now and it worked. I'll keep an eye on it and see if it happens again. Weird.

[drsli]

Will this work on vb3.8?

[Dismounted]

Most likely.

[drsli]

Thanks for the assessment. I installed it onto my vb3.81-live-forum and as far as I can see, it works flawlessly! :)

[210665]

Hello

There is also this addon for vb 4.02 or there is nothing planned.
Would something like looking for my board, maybe you can help me.
Thanks

xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx

hallo

gibt es dieses addon auch für das vb 4.02 oder ist da nichts geplant.
Würde so etwas suchen für mein Board, vielleicht könnt ihr mir weiterhelfen.

Danke

[KURTZ]

hi Hanson, any upgrade for the 'suite'?

[Dismounted]

Real Soon Now (tm)

At least I hope I can do it in that timeframe... :p

[Wilfred1]

Is there a 4.0.4 version of this yet mate? I can't go live as my users don't want all their posts to go public so this mod is the only one now holding me back

[Bro_Joey_Gowdy]

Installed on vB3.8.0 - appears to work properly.

Curious, on the first post why did it align all text to the left ?

http://www.joeygowdy.net/forum/showthread.php?t=1&referrerid=1

[res6cue]

I need this mod so badly for vB4. There's a mod that claims to do what yours does, but it has serious shortcomings and gave a false sense of security. I generally don't like to beg, but I'm going to have to make an exception here and beg you to please recode this for vB4...thanks mate!

[mholtum]

Works great thank you..

[Davey-UK]

Any news on this for VB4.1?
I would have a go myself, but there is a little bit too much altering of database tables for me to tackle. :D

Its a great mod, and hopefully it will be updated. ????

[adom7]

I guess, no plan on this great mod for future (vb 4.10)

[Bro_Joey_Gowdy]

Seems to be working fine for 4.0.0 PL8 at the moment.

[Bro_Joey_Gowdy]
