Hide all but first post for usergroup

[Davey-UK]

Hello all.
I am looking for a mod that hides all but the first post to a specific usergroup in a specific category of the forum.
See screenshot & thanks in advance. By the way, i am not too bothered about the search engine side of it, as it will only be implemended on a small section of the forum.

You could try limited guest viewing.

Ive already tried that, but doesnt fit my needs unfortunately.
I just need to hide thread content after the initial post, unless in a certain usergroup. Even if it means hacking into a default template, that would be fine for now. :(

You could put a condition around the template (postbit or postbit_legacy, whichever you are using) and say "if !( (is_member_of($bbuserinfo,x) AND $thread[forumid] == y) AND ($post[postcount] != 1) )" (not totally sure that is correct, but you can play with the logic of it).

You've only gone and cracked it Lynne!
Here is what it finally took to get it to work if anyone else is interested.

<vb:if condition="in_array($thread['forumid'], array(1,2,3)) AND ($post[postcount] != 1) AND !is_member_of($bbuserinfo, 1,2,3,4,5)">
Show a block message
<vb:else />
Show the full post
</vb:if>


You're a diamond, thankyou. :up:

Now to work on tweeking it even more.
