TW7S - Hiding Posts From Guests

[LifesGreatestGift]

This Will Hide EVERY post on the thread from Guest's

Open postbit_legacy or postbit (Works with both)

Find:

{vb:raw post.message}


Replace With:

<vb:if condition="$show['member']">
{vb:raw post.message}
<vb:else />
<br /><br />
<div style="text-align: center;">
Please login, or <a href="./register.php"><u>register</u></a> to view message content.
</div>
</vb:if>



This will JUST hide the threads PRIMARY (FIRST) post of the thread, and show the rest of the posts (replies to first post) to the guest's

Find:

{vb:raw post.message}


Replace With:

<vb:if condition="$show['member']">
{vb:raw post.message}
<vb:else />
<br /><br />
<vb:if condition="$post[postcount] == 1">
<div style="text-align: center;">
Please login, or <a href="./register.php"><u>register</u></a> to view message content.
</div>
<vb:else />
{vb:raw post.message}
</vb:if>
</vb:if>



This will SHOW the threads PRIMARY (FIRST) post of the thread, and HIDE the rest of the posts (replies to first post) to the guest's

Find:

{vb:raw post.message}


Replace With:

<vb:if condition="$show['member']">
{vb:raw post.message}
<vb:else />
<br /><br />
<vb:if condition="$post[postcount] != 1">
<div style="text-align: center;">
Please login, or <a href="./register.php"><u>register</u></a> to view message content.
</div>
<vb:else />
{vb:raw post.message}
</vb:if>
</vb:if>

Hey, this looks very tidy and I am looking for a hack like this to install on my site, but I'd only like to hide certain bits of posts. There was a hack about for previous versions I'm sure and I wonder if anything like this could be done?

Any light shed on this would be awesome!!

Is it possible to exclude some forums from this?

[angelimnot]

Ok.. so I would like to hide some information on my site from certain user groups...

we were using bb code before text here
but i cant seem to make vbulletin 4 hide that coding.. any help?

[Kolbi]

^^ such a function I need too.

I?m using :)

[Muggz562]

Works perfectly. Thanks.

Sorry for the slow reply, not been anywhere near a PC for some time!! I'm looking for just some BBCode really, so that I can hide bits of posts from guests/not logged in. Something like [hide] would be awesome. They have been on previous versions of vB3 but I can't find any that work on vB4 so it's a big shame!!

[Manoel J?nior]

Please,

screens...

[steve1966]

brilliant thank you

[giorgino]

What about spider indexing? :)

[LifesGreatestGift]

That would be a slight downside, Im sure you could make a specific group for spiders so that they can bypass the hide code with a simple IF statement, but then people would emulate bots with their browsers. :\

[giorgino]

Thank you :)
I don't want sacrifice my indexing...

[kozzie]

Hi I want to show just main forum and sub forum titles not posts can this be done?

Sorry to butt in here but you didn''t make it xhtml valid either :)

The align center on div has been depricated.

So this:

<div align="center">
code here
</div>

should be instead:

<div style="text-align: center;">
code here
</div>

[LifesGreatestGift]

Thanks for the update ;)

[borbole]

No problem :)

[xsamet]

Thank you.

Would you like to do in the forum.

[shuett]

Great mod. Thanks so much.

[merk_aus]

I am not picky and not wanting changes to this - it works currently as designed and as described.

It is perfect for what I was after, I am currently going through and installing all of your modifications as they are what "real" administrators need to install to improve their websites they are fantastic.

Thank you for taking the time I truly appreciate it.

[ozzy47]

This worked great been looking for a way to prevent guests from seeing posts but not changing perms, so the latest posts in marquee would work. Great job!

[ozzy47]

Ok I have 1 issue now. If I am logged in and click a thread on my marquee, I get the register, message, and when I try to log in on post page it brings me back to the register message?

Ok I figured it out I needed to remove the www from path as it is not in my forum home that way

[RonH.]

I like this piece of modification. Thanks. Works like a charm.

[8thos]

Hiding posts from Guests should be an option that members can individually choose themselves so that only their own posts be hidden. How would this be done?
