Guest can't see links.

[Alexey?]

OK, lately i made a little template modification that make guests register before they can see any link on the website.

Here is what you need to do to active it and use it in your Forum.



Go to AdminCp>Plugin & Products > Add New Plugin

then do this:




Hook Location : postbit_display_complete
Name : what ever you want
Execution Order : 5
Plugin PHP Code :
if ((!$this->registry->userinfo[userid]) OR (is_member_of($this->registry->userinfo, 1, 3)))
{
$this->post['message'] = preg_replace("!<a[^>]*(http|www)(.*)</a>!siU", $vbphrase[nolink], $this->post['message']);
}
Plugin is Active : Yes


After you complete all the fields just press on SAVE button and you are done.

Insteand of 1,3 you can change the numbers to a diffrent groups you want.
but 1 and 3 is the Default groups that not allowed to see links in posts.

Worked fine to me and should work fine for you.
Have Fun.

aaa, now i get it.


just do this:

<b><font color="red">To view the link you have to <a href="register.php">Register</a></b></font>

[elenh]

Go to Admincp / Language & Phrases and then create new phrase
and add:
<b><font color="red">To view the link you have to <a href="register.php">Register</a></b></font>

Then go to the plugin and replace the
$vbphrase[nolink]

With your own phrase.

[Alexey?]

Yes this is another way.

[enemy@fps]

works

Hello,

It is possible for exclude internal link of the HIDE?.

For example if my board domain is www.testdomain.com and an user post in a thread www.testdomain.com/showthread.php?t=11853 can be excluded from the HIDE and show to guests?.

Thanks!!!

Now i see what you mean.
i will check it out and see what i can do.

[itsblack]

There was a similar addon, "hide links from guests". Just too old, it is for vb 3.6.

https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/showthread.php?t=123415

[Alexey?]

Ofcurse there is another MOD for this but what i posted here is without installing any thing.
so it is more simple to use.

[itsblack]

No offense, but I think a MOD with install script is more simple than yours. Whatever, that's not the point.

I posted the url for that, maybe you can take some ideas from that old one.

At least your method is incomplete, if the guest switch the page to the print mode, than your solution will not work.

[Alexey?]

I know i made it up quickly so the guest can't see it only from posts.
ofcurse it is possible to do it for the arhive and signature and all the other stuff

[andrew67]

Exactly what was needed , thanks works a treat.

[luan7749]

So, I have two questions :
1. Images 're hide for guests ? I Want images can be displayed for guests
2. I want that Google , Yahoo and other Search Bot can see link ?

[Waqas Anwar]

in steand of "$vbphrase[nolink]" you may write what ever messege you want.
did it help you?
It did not help me :erm: Could it be due to version difference? I am using 3.8.3
When I replace it this message is not visible but link become visible. Without doing this links hid but then all guests start sending email to ask where are links?

Go to Admincp / Language & Phrases and then create new phrase
and add:
<b><font color="red">To view the link you have to <a href="register.php">Register</a></b></font>

Then go to the plugin and replace the
$vbphrase[nolink]

With your own phrase.

It didnt work either :(

[Alexey?]

2. I want that Google , Yahoo and other Search Bot can see link ?
1. Yes the images are hidden too.
2.No one can't search it, it like a hide mode so no one can't see the URL\s

It did not help me :erm: Could it be due to version difference? I am using 3.8.3
When I replace it this message is not visible but link become visible. Without doing this links hid but then all guests start sending email to ask where are links?

You have to REEPLACE this "$vbphrase[nolink]" In the text you want to.
i'm using 3.8.2 and there is no problem.
soon i will upgrade to 3.8.4 and see if there is any bugs or isuse

What do you mean it failed?
what happen?

[alfanexus]

Thanks, this is soooo great, better that nofollow to keep spammers out.

But has anybody an idea on how to do the same for vbulletin blogs???

[cormee]

What a great little piece of code. :D

Yesterday my register page wasn't even in my top 25 pages visited today it's 3rd most visited.

What would be fantastic would be if it could set by membership type - ie. only paying members can see them. Would also be great if it could be for mailto: links also.

[Alexey?]

I'm happy you liked it :)

cormme you can make a vip group and you can add to this line
if ((!$this->registry->userinfo[userid]) OR (is_member_of($this->registry->userinfo, 1, 3)))

the id of groups that can't watch the links, and the vip group id don't add there and they will able to watch the links,For the mails i don't know how to do it.

[jkun666]

Hi, what 'Hook Location' do I use?

[Alexey?]

[RedDevil]

I did it slightly different it wouldnt work on 3.8.4 pl1

I created a phrase in phrase manager called registerlink then added this as its as the phrase content

<b><font color="red">To view the link you have to <a href="register.php">Register</a></b></font>then changed the $vbphrase[nolink] to $vbphrase[registerlink]

[Alexey?]

Well, did i work fine?

[RedDevil]

Well, did i work fine?

works perfectly cheers - marked as installed forgot to earlier

[Alexey?]

Tnx dude.

[robbiefritz]

OK love the idea. It works great for non-coded links. Is there a way to include links contained in the code tags? Thank you.

[Alexey?]

I don't think so :(

if i'll do an upgrade to this i will try to do it

[robbiefritz]

Well, vb.org is probably uses another kind of a hide hack that only members with license like a special user group can see al the hidden content.

I can't access to you forum, I'M getting an error "PAGE NOT FOUND"

[MylesM]

Doesn't work with C-Logic SEO? When ever I go to a post it says "Page not found" :S

[FreeResellers]

if ((!$this->registry->userinfo[userid]) OR (is_member_of($this->registry->userinfo, 1, 3)))
{
$this->post['message'] = preg_replace("!<a[^>]*(http|www)(.*)</a>!siU", $vbphrase[registerlink] , $this->post['message']);
}

That did work for me with 3.8.6. Patch Level 1.
But I would still like to see that there is a link... I mean, now people just don't see anything.
Not even a messege that they have to register to see the links.

[Silmarillion]

Is there a way to use this code in subforum xy only?

[datoneer]

My vbulletin version:3.8.3
my code:
if ((!$this->registry->userinfo[userid]) OR (is_member_of($this->registry->userinfo, 1, 3)))
{
$this->post['message'] = preg_replace("!<a[^>]*(http|www)(.*)</a>!siU",
<b><font color="white">To view the link you have to <a href="login.php">Login</a> or <a href="register.php">Register</a></b></font>, $this->post['message']);
}

And i get this error when i open post as guest:
Parse error: syntax error, unexpected '<' in /home/datoneer/public_html/includes/class_postbit.php(294) : eval()'d code on line 90

Help please??

When you say the latest vbulletin, do you mean the latest vb 3.8, or the real latest 4.x?

If it's 4.x try changing this line from:
$this->post['message'] = preg_replace("!<a[^>]*(http|www)(.*)</a>!siU", $vbphrase[nolink], $this->post['message']);

to:

$post['message'] = preg_replace("~<a[^>]*(http|www)(.*)</a>~siU", $vbphrase[nolink], $post['message']);
