Guests See First Post Only (updated that it doesn''t affect spiders)

[borbole]

I made this mod after being requested at my forum by a user and thorught to share it here as well in case other users will find a use for it as well

http://www.forumservices.eu/showthread.php?25-Convert-this-hack-from-Ipb

ANyway this hack will allow you to show the first post to guests and hide the rest. You can enable and disable from the Acp where you can add the message that you want to be displayed to guests instead of the post. You can also choose forums to be excluded from the hide post limit.

The mod is not supported.

A new version that shouldn''t afefct spiders can be downloaded at my forum. Support for the mod is also provided there.

http://www.forumservices.eu/vb/showthread.php?8-Guests-See-First-Post-Only

The mod is free. However registration is required to download it.

Ofcourse o.O

Nice addon, i will use this.

[Liquid1ce]

is google still able to see the posts ?

[daveaite]

Google will not see the posts...could hurt SEO tremendously as you'll be losing a good percentage of all your posts indexed.

[KURTZ]

just tagged, thanks for sharing ;)

You are welcome :)

[Wilfred1]

This would be an extremely great mod if it could be coded to not hurt SEO

I would much prefer to use this mod instead on another however the spider thing is what stopped me.

One thing though with enabling spiders that you say you have done. A Google spider may see post #2 or 3 and it gets listed in Google search but when a person clicks on the Google link they can't see the post, only the first one. This could cause your site to be black banned by Google...am I correct in assuming this?

[ged]

Does this work with VBSEO?

[sulasno]

updated to include spiders
thanks

I don''t see how that is possible. At least from what I know this won''t cost the site to be black banned by google of by any other search engine.

Does this work with VBSEO?

Yes, I added the option that the spider egnines shouldn''t be affected.

Thank you for the translation. The file is added at the first post.

[Brew]

Would it still work with SEO if only the second post in a thread were seen with the message?

Having a long list of posts in a large thread seems like a lot of hits on the DB when just one message displayed with the message would do.

[Dr.osamA]

Excellent

so its reduce query? like a thread hs 10 post need 15 query to database. so when its show to guest thread show only one post it reduce totall query?

How about making the new version available here, for members who are not on your forum?

How about if I install it at your forum and configure it for you as well while I am at it, so you won''t have to do anything at all?

I didn't have any problems in registering and getting the other mod from your site;

[Liquid1ce]

errr i would like to download it here also, i dont feel the need to register with your site which ill never use

No need to be a smartass. Not everyone wants to register at multiple forums just to be able to download some mods. That is the whole reason for vbulletin.org.

It is one thing to use your own forum as a means of support, but another to state that we must go there just to download a mod.

I never asked you to install or configure...just to put it here so members who like it can install it, but do what you want. I don't care..I don't have to use it.

I wasn''t being a smartass. You don''t have to register anywhere you don''t want to. But like you that don''t want to register somewhere to get something, I don't want to reupload the second mod here as well. And I ain''t forcing you or anyone else for that matter to register at my forum to download anything btw.

I also wouldn''t care less if you downloaded, installed or used it. If you think that I am breaking the rules by not uploading here the second mod then report this thread. But stop being so selfish pal, will you?

[GeorgeB85]

But stop being so selfish pal, will you?

If being selfish, is simply asking for you to upload the newly updated part of this mod here so that members who enjoy it can download it, and update the mod, then I am guilty as charged.

You are free to do what you want, but not wanting to upload the mod here which I am sure takes less than a minute to do, and require people to register to your site in order to download, then that is being selfish.

However, I am done with it. You obviously could care less about doing something nice and simple, so have a nice day.

If a mod wants to delete this, feel free too.

BYE.

Talking about being selfish, if you check my post history here you will see that from 34 mods, I uploaded only one to my forum. And 90% of my posts are in the support forums helping other users with their issues. That is how selfish I am.

On the other hand, if we check your post history, it is the other way around. 90% of your posts are how I can do this, that or how can I get this and that. You want everything handed to you ready so you don''t have to do anything yourslef. And when it comes that you need to register somewhere to get something for YOURSELF, then you start to complain and moan. So who is selfish now?

Anyway, bye and have a nice day yourself too.

That is because I didn't create none of those mods. So obviously if I have an issue, or looking for an option that the mod is supposed to have, and I cannot find it any where, or I upload the files, and get an error, then obviously I would ask for help. 8 times out of 10 the developer/creator of the mod has experienced the issue, or someone else has and told the creator about the issue and how they fixed it/

Asking questions is the only way to find anything out. Plus, a lot of it, I figure out on my own, and after doing all the resources, I cannot get a solution, then I ask for help.

You have had me and atleast 1 other member in this forum ask you to kindly upload it to vb.org so we can download and use the new update part of the mod, and you simply refused and basically said you don't feel like doing it twice. That is being selfish.

If I created a mod and put it on here, then came up with a update, and said go to xyz.com to download the update, you would say the same thing we all did...what is the point on registering at any site to download 1 file, and then never go back to it again?

You can call me selfish all you like, but I am not the one who created a mod, then came up with an update, put it on my site, and then flat out tell people, either download it from my site now, or be stuck with a mod that works great against non registered members trying to view content, but sucks when it comes to spiders/crawlers that help get your site on search engines. That is selfish.

I thought you were done with this thread :D

That ain''t selfish at all. I created that mod originally for someone who requested it at my forum and then I uploaded it here as well to share it with everyone else. Now a new version has been released at my forum. So whomever wants to download it, all it takes is a minute to register. If you don''t want to, then don''t. No one is forcing no one to register no where. But if you want that mod then you must register to download it.

You can''t expect me to upload it here as well because you can''t take one minute to do something for yourself. Sorry to say this but you sound like a spoiled brat that wants everything handied over, without having to do nothing at all. And when they don''t get it their way, then they begin to whine, complain and moan. If that ain''t selfish, then I don''t know what is.

P.s. If you see in other mods, most coders do that as well when they release another version with more features. They place it for download at their own forums, some paid and some free.

Then you shouldn't offer a mod here that is not fully workable. The file that is currently listed, is one that allows both individuals who are not signed in to only view the content of the first post on each thread page, but NOT spiders. So therefore, this mod is broke.

But if you rather do that, instead of uploading a fully functioning mod, that is your choice.

To call me a spoiled brat is very childish and just shows your level of maturity. You know nothing about me except for what type of replies I put on a forum. I work very hard every day of the week to support my family. Some hard labor and some not.

I work for everything that I get.

As I mentioned before, I DON'T create these mods, so I only know how they work and function based on what the creators of the mod tell members how it is supposed to work. When I ask them for help or "how do you do this" type of questions, it is mainly sometimes because I get an error message that I have no clue of what it means, or what is causing it to show up.

Or I ask a question if the mod is supposed to do something specific and it doesn't.

To me, you making people register at your forums to download your mod is just an excuse to get members to join, but I rather have members join who will participate rather than members who only join to be smoochers and never participate.

But it is your choice, and I will respect it. Like I said, you do make some good/decent mods, and this was one of them, but since your not willing to upload a fully workable version, then I guess some of us never will know.

Take care.

[sulasno]

<sigh>

Developers of Mods are owners of the respective mods and have certain rights;
As far as I can see, the original mod was revised to exclude spiders;
and the Developer has made it very clear to get the revised mod from his board;

From a personal point view, if I want the revised mod, I would have to register in order to download the revised mod; I had no problems with the registration; I wish to add that I registered at another 2 boards in order to download something but alas after I registered I found that there were certain conditions that I had to fulfill.

Developers are creating mods for free here (at least not all wants to be compensated in one way or another); If I wanted the revised mod but do not want to get it from his/her board, I would PM the developer, stating valid reasons and request nicely whether he/she would be kind enough to send it to me

The mod works fine. It is not broke at all. Anyway, I am sorry if I offended you with that spoiled brat comment, but you sounded very much like that. Look at how you asked me to upload the second version of my mod here:

How about making the new version available here, for members who are not on your forum?

Like I owe it to you or something. No please, no nothing. If you can''t or don''t want to register at my forum to get it, then you should have posted in a different way, asking me politely and I would have uploaded it here. But not like that.

And I work as well and sometimes 2 jobs to support my family. And yet, I still find the time to help others around here as much as I can. SO you are not the only one that works :)

Take care as well.

Exactly. But as you saw it yourself the asking was not made kindly, far from it.
Thank you for the understanding btw :)

Borbole:

I was making the comment for all members who might like to download the mod and use it on their forum in a full working version. If you have one version here, and the other version located solely on your forum alone, and that one works slighty better than the one here, that that is NOT a fully working mod.

However, view it however you wish. I was just getting a point across. I learn more and more each day that goes by when it comes to technical stuff. Some I am still learning, and others I have mastered for years now.

It is your mod and you are welcome to do with it what you wish. I simply won't register at a forum that I may or may not ever use again. All together, my information is probably on well over 50+ forums for a variety of things, and the sad part is, I don't even visit but just a slight few. That is all our point.

I have used and still use some of your other mods since they do work all together.

Whenever you decide if at all to upload it here, then I will use this one as well, since it was quite useful, and helped to avoid "lurkers" not turning into members.

So now you are users representative? :D You should speak for yourself and let the other users speak for their own selves.

Anyway, this discussion is getting a bit annoying, no offence meant. The thing is very simple, if you want to download the mod, you know where to do so. If you don''t then don''t. What can I say? But let us not discuss about this anymore.

[GeorgeB85]

They did, and you were rude to them as well.

[Wilfred1]

and now for something different...:D, about the mod

I have always been led to believe that if Google indexes your site and adds the posts to their search, if a person clicks on a link in a Google search and get a "You can't see this" on your site then eventually Google will find out and black ban your site...I have heard this happening many times.

I use to use a "Guest first post only mod" on my 3.8 site without spider access and it hurt my Google ranking something chronic. Allowing spiders without allowing the post to be seen by a guest via a search engine link has been discussed many times at VBSEO and here on vb and every time it has resulted in "Don't Do It".

So can you advise why it would be different with this mod...thanks

[sas forum]

Hey bro, can the mod be changed to allow the first x number of posts to be seen versus justt he first one? I have not downloaded the mod yet, but would be willing to go to your site to do so if it can be set to allow another number of posts to show.

Personally, I don't have an issue going to your site, but if an update is released to a mod here, I get an email about it so I can grab the latest version. Not to beat a dead horse, but that is why I prefer to get mods here, but am not against getting them elsewhere as I have done so in the past many times.

Thanks for the time taken creating this mod. I am looking forward to implementing it on our boards.

[borbole]

They did, and you were rude to them as well.

Don''t lie now. You were the very first one to ask. And after you ,only another user asked about this as well and I was not rude. I simply told him that I wouldn''t upload it here. What is rude about that? Or when doesn''t care to your needs pronto then that is rude. Well, we got different definition about that.

That is a first I hear about google ban for such a thing. I am using this mod in several forums of my clients who use google adsense and none of them until now has been banned from google adsense.

The thing is that atm I am a little busy and don''t have much free time. But later on when I will have some more free time, I will look into this :)

In the meantime find this part at the mod file:

!$post['isfirstshown']


And change it to:

$post['postcount'] -2


Replace 2 with whatever number you want. That number represents the number of first posts that will be shown to guests and hide the rest of them.

[Liquid1ce]

bah just change your user agent to
Mozilla/5.0 (compatible; Googlebot/2.1; +http://www.google.com/bot.html)

[BirdOPrey5]

I hate to be the barer of bad news but what Wilfred1 said is completely correct- this is the definition of "cloaking" - that is sharing different info with google then you do with a regular visitor and it is 100% against Google's most sacred rule. If someone reports your site YOU WILL GET BANNED FROM GOOGLE- and you may never get back on, if you do it will take at least 1 year. There is no appeals process, there is no debate- when Google confirms cloaking you are removed... period... the end.., Honestly everyone would be using this if that wasn't the case. Imagine if you had to register on every site you ever found in google before seeing the info you wanted.

Ask a "SEO Expert" if you don't believe me but this is common knowledge on the 'net.
http://www.google.com/support/webmasters/bin/answer.py?answer=66355
http://www.google.com/support/webmasters/bin/answer.py?hl=en&answer=35769

If anyone cares about Google I strongly urge them to read the links above, search for "Google Anti-Cloaking Policy" and stop using the updated version of this mod immediately. You can not show different content to googlebot then you do any other visitor.

[8thos]

So... I can use the 'Download now' version at the bottom of the first post.

but the 'updated one' that I'd have to join his site to download would get me in trouble with Google?

That's what it looks like to me... I'm sure you could use the other version too so long as you don't configure it for googlebot.

FYI- This is how I report sites that use 'cloaking' when I find them:
http://www.dailytechnologytips.com/2008/08/how-to-report-website-or-blog-to-google.html

And it's not google "ad sense" you have to worry about. no one gives a hoot what adsense sees- it's googlebot for searches- that is what will get you banned from google search listings. Adsense is not the issue.

Well, that is up to you really.

[BirdOPrey5]

Hey I found this about experts-exchange.com, a site that appears to cloak content from Google but in fact it really doesn't:
http://www.google.com/support/forum/p/Web+Search/thread?tid=2f0a6b5a175293ce&hl=en

There's a lot to read but basically it says Exoerts-Exchange puts up a message that makes it looks like you need to be a member to see the answers (posts) but in fact if you scroll down to the bottom of the page the answers are there. So maybe this mod could be adjusted so guests see a message saying they need to register to see posts but in fact still display posts well below that message as most people don't bother looking past such a message but this is still within Google's terms of service.

Also another thing experts-exchange does is only show these answers (posts) if you followed a link from google... if you follow a link (get referred) by any other site the answers (posts) don't display at all...

So if this mod could be changed to:
1) Show all posts if the referring site is Google...
and
2) Add a large obnoxious "You must register to see posts" message above all the additional posts to 'trick' people into registering...

I'm still not sure I agree with the theory behind tricking people into register to see content but at least you wouldn't be de-listed from Google.

You made me check. Yes it appears not to be working since my upgrade to 4.0.8.
I re-imported/overwrote the .xml and it is working properly now on 4.0.8.

how is the registration effect ? more registrations ?

same google ranks as before ?

This mod has the right idea, but unfortunately it's quite flawed in practice.

For starters, it doesn't seem to actually query the usergroup ID when deciding when to restrict post viewing, instead it seems to check whether or not the vB 'guest message' is being displayed. Ideally it would query the usergroup ID, this way viewing could be definitively restricted by either allowing or denying a list of valid usergroup IDs (i.e. deny the default ID 1 for Unregistered / Not Logged In)

Because it doesn't check the usergroup ID, you can easily bypass it by looking at the print view of the thread, or the archive view if enabled. Even the Threaded/Hybrid view gives you big chunks of the messages.

Hopefully these shortcomings can be addressed, otherwise they should be clearly noted in the description so no one has a false sense of security. As far as registering on your site for support, well it would be nice if your site were actually online so we could do just that.

tried lurking into my forum and found mod working in 4.1.2 but first post of each thread in different pages are shown while the rest are hidden; is this by design ?

Would it be possible / easy to change it so that guests can see the first 2 or 3 posts...

I realy like this mod, but i think if a guest comes along to search for an answere, he would get more interested in the forum if he saw a few replies.
Most of the time the top 3 replies are questions about the issue in the post of the topic starter.

So my question is: could you (or I with your help) modify this mod in that way?

[RichieBoy67]

now the site is defunct :p :p

That is why I never install mods from devs who are requiring a registration just to download and use a "free" mod.. I mean this is a Vbull mod site..Release it here.

[Stefan118]

Any news about updates?
Website referred to does not exist.

I have a problem that my forum is still completely visable in the printable version.
