How can I eliminate postbit links for guests?

[joeychgo]

I want to make it so the username in the postbit, is not clickable for guests...

How can I do this?

[Barcham]

On my board, I have configured the GUEST user permissions so that they cannot view member profiles, or use the search function or view who's on line, etc... So while they can click on a handle and see the drop menu, clicking on any of the links simply brings them to a no permission log in screen that tells them they have to log in or register to see this page. Works fine for me.

[joeychgo]

its still a link that takes someone to another page. That's not what I want. I want it to not be a link at all for guests.

Then you need to go through all templates and wrap conditions around the <a>-Tags. That dropdown does not only show up in postbit.

Find in postbit template:

{vb:raw memberaction_dropdown}

Replace it with:

<vb:if condition="$show['guest']">{vb:raw post.musername}<vb:else />{vb:raw memberaction_dropdown}</vb:if>

[joeychgo]

that worked except all formatting is gone for the username.

[ozzy47]

What is happening by doing it that way is removing some of the classes needed for the display. Undo the above edit, then open your memberaction_dropdown template, and find the following:

<ul class="popupbody popuphover memberaction_body">

Above that add this:
<vb:if condition="$show['member']">

Then find the following:
</ul>

And below that add this:
</vb:if>

[joeychgo]

Hmmm.. That kind of worked Ozz --

The link to the profile is there but doesn't work unless you right click and open in a new window.



Ideally - it wouldn't have a link at all.

[ozzy47]

Ok give me a minute, stay tuned.

[ozzy47]

OK find this line:
<a class="username {vb:raw memberinfo.online} popupctrl" href="{vb:link member, {vb:raw memberinfo}}" title="{vb:rawphrase {vb:raw memberinfo['onlinestatusphrase']}, {vb:raw memberinfo.username}}"><strong><vb:if condition="$memberinfo['musername']">{vb:raw memberinfo.musername}<vb:else />{vb:raw memberinfo.username}</vb:if></strong></a>

And change it to this:
<a class="username {vb:raw memberinfo.online} popupctrl" <vb:if condition="$show['member']">href="{vb:link member, {vb:raw memberinfo}}"</vb:if> title="{vb:rawphrase {vb:raw memberinfo['onlinestatusphrase']}, {vb:raw memberinfo.username}}"><strong><vb:if condition="$memberinfo['musername']">{vb:raw memberinfo.musername}<vb:else />{vb:raw memberinfo.username}</vb:if></strong><vb:if condition="$show['member']"></a></vb:if>

[joeychgo]

if you meant in addition to the earlier.. Ive done it.

now all text in the first post is subject to hover / ul

[ozzy47]

Hmmm, ok back to the drawing board.

[joeychgo]

the goal here is to minimize links off page for guests.

[ozzy47]

Ok was your member action dropdown customized before, or was it stock?

[joeychgo]

stock I believe

[ozzy47]

Ok then replace the entire contents with this:

<div class="popupmenu memberaction<vb:if condition="$page_class"> {vb:raw page_class}</vb:if>">
<vb:if condition="$show['guest']">
<span class="username" style="font-size:{vb:stylevar font.fontSize}{vb:stylevar font.units};
font-weight:bold;" title="{vb:rawphrase {vb:raw memberinfo['onlinestatusphrase']}, {vb:raw memberinfo.username}}"><strong><vb:if condition="$memberinfo['musername']">{vb:raw memberinfo.musername}<vb:else />{vb:raw memberinfo.username}</vb:if></strong></span>
<vb:else />
<a class="username {vb:raw memberinfo.online} popupctrl" <href="{vb:link member, {vb:raw memberinfo}}" title="{vb:rawphrase {vb:raw memberinfo['onlinestatusphrase']}, {vb:raw memberinfo.username}}"><strong><vb:if condition="$memberinfo['musername']">{vb:raw memberinfo.musername}<vb:else />{vb:raw memberinfo.username}</vb:if></strong></a>
</vb:if>
<vb:if condition="$show['member']">
<ul class="popupbody popuphover memberaction_body">

</li>
</vb:if>

<vb:if condition="$show['viewblog']">

</vb:if>

{vb:raw template_hook.memberaction_dropdown_items}
</ul>
</vb:if>
</div>

[joeychgo]

That worked almost perfectly. only thing is the username is a little smaller then before....

[ozzy47]

Not that I can see on my site, there should be no reason it does that on yours. Since the css is in there:
style="font-size:{vb:stylevar font.fontSize}{vb:stylevar font.units};
font-weight:bold;"

[joeychgo]

see

[ozzy47]

Hmmm, that is strange, care to give me a admin account so I can debug it on your site, as I can not replicate it on mine?

[joeychgo]

sure, stand by for a pm

[ozzy47]

Okie dokie.

[ozzy47]

Under normal circumstances the above would have worked for you, but you had a edit in your additional.css that was over riding the class, so I changed, font-size:{vb:stylevar font.fontSize}{vb:stylevar font.units}; to the following, font-size:20px;

So the final is this:
<div class="popupmenu memberaction<vb:if condition="$page_class"> {vb:raw page_class}</vb:if>">
<vb:if condition="$show['guest']">
<span class="username" style="font-size:20px; font-weight:bold;" title="{vb:rawphrase {vb:raw memberinfo['onlinestatusphrase']}, {vb:raw memberinfo.username}}"><strong><vb:if condition="$memberinfo['musername']">{vb:raw memberinfo.musername}<vb:else />{vb:raw memberinfo.username}</vb:if></strong></span>
<vb:else />
<a class="username {vb:raw memberinfo.online} popupctrl" <href="{vb:link member, {vb:raw memberinfo}}" title="{vb:rawphrase {vb:raw memberinfo['onlinestatusphrase']}, {vb:raw memberinfo.username}}"><strong><vb:if condition="$memberinfo['musername']">{vb:raw memberinfo.musername}<vb:else />{vb:raw memberinfo.username}</vb:if></strong></a>
</vb:if>
<vb:if condition="$show['member']">
<ul class="popupbody popuphover memberaction_body">
<li class="left">
<a href="{vb:link member, {vb:raw memberinfo}}" class="siteicon_profile">
{vb:rawphrase view_profile}
