Hide Links From Guests
 

I know that there are a similar hack more simple and elegant (https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/showthread.php?p=827815) but this is more powefull and adecuate for me.

• Guests Not see links in Post
• Guests Not see links in Archive
• Guests Not see links in Print Version
• Guests Not see links in Reply

Description:
Most guests browse the forums without becoming registered. And why should they, everything?s lying and waiting just right before their fingertips - written informations and the most important: hyperlinks.
This plugin hides link from guests until they became registered !


If guests are browsing the forums, all they?ll see is a link like this

[Only Registered Users Can See Links.Click Here to Register]

Step 1. Import the following product:hide_link_from_guests_v1_0.xml
Step 2. ENJOY THE HACK

thanks...great hack :)

question say you wrap something in quotes will this block it? kinda like if your not logged in here you can see the code or quotes?

Yes!

That's what i really needed. In order to enable a high page rank you must not have many links spidered by google.

So that's it!

where did you get this info from? cause on some sites with high page rank they have links every where...:confused:

Your links are like votes given to other sites. So, if you use them too much your pagerank may decline. I learned this info when i tried to learn about PR.

Yes, You're right: some sites with high page rank they have links every where. Yet, they are big sites, getting many links ;) Maybe, if they hadn't give links, their pagerank would be higher now.

For example, seochat.com & daniweb.com which are related to seo & pagerank don't use automaticly parse urls to [ url ] code. Thus they don't give external, clikable links ;)

Excellent hack I've installed it.

Very nice hack, installed.

Does this extend to [img links too or not?

Installed - great idea.

Dear Sir, Hi

How can I use the plugin " Hide Links From Guests "
for a special link (only one link) not for all of them.

Thanks

Does it ignore Links in Signatures ?

whats the difference between this and the other hacks?

Hello, when a member replies in a thread that has links, in Topic Review (Newest First) part, the links are not shown, but instead there is [Only Registered Users Can See Links.Click Here to Register]] in every link!
Why is that happening? Thanks! :)

1. It shows still the Links on vbAdvanced and any other Portal !

2. And yes it is ignoring Signatures.

When I install it works, but my Post Reply screen is blank. When I remove the mod the Post reply screen is back.. any Ideas?

thanks great hack

Thank you very much, I've been waiting for a hack like this. I installed on 3.5.3 and it works great.

I need this hack for Vbulletin 3.6.0 Beta 4

Yeah does not work in 3.6 RC1 either can we get an update!?

yeah and update for 3.6 would be so great :)

Hi

For 3.6. compatibility:

1. Open file hide_link_from_guests_v1_0.xml
2. Search for <phrasetype name="global">
3. Replace with <phrasetype name="GLOBAL" fieldname="global">

If guests "Can Reply to Others' Threads" they can use the quote button instead the reply button and the links are visible for guests. :(

We need to disable the quote button for guests, how (hack, plugin?)?



Regards, Stoebi

Great Hack - but I would be really happy about a Search Bot detection, so that links are visible to google etc. This Hack is good for Guests to hide Links, but bad for Search Engines, because no/less Links visible = Lower Page Rank!

Exelent little hack, much better than sticking nofollow on your links.

For some reason this hack is also blocking the view of my registered users, in particular an extra group I created (mod / staff group). Any ideas? Cheers :)

I installed the hack but the user-login isnt workin and newreply.php, its loaded as a blank page wit no html/php in it

I just installed it and had the same exact issue. Reading above it seems to be a common issue thats not been addressed. I uninstalled it and everything went back to normal. Luckily this is a very slow time for posting.

Great hack!

Thankssss, now it works ;):up:

No, not working because, other users can not quote. Became an error.

Had the same problem...Installed..Reply stopped working...Uninstalled and it did.. This will stay uninstalled until resolved.

thanks natro very nice mod :) İNSTALLED*

Same issue here too. Installed it and newreply.php won't work (advanced reply, quote)

Any way to fix that?

When I hit advanced reply I get the following error message

Fatal error: Using $this when not in object context in C:\Inetpub\vhosts\eveek.com\httpdocs\forum\newrepl y.php(969) : eval()'d code on line 35

ALSO

I've got another plug in on the forum that converts the site to WAP so if my users access the site from a mobile device, it displays everything in simplified version. The problem is, even if you're signed in, the message still there and the download links are not visible.

Can you fix that please?
Other than that, awesome hack!!!!

Does this hack work with post caching at all? Or does it turn it off?

I remember installing a hide links from guests hack a while ago and it slowed down the board a lot - so I uninstalled it, not sure if it was this one though :-/

Anyone?

some one can tell me how can i disebel download link for guest without replay the thared ..plzz

advance thnx for replay the post :D

installed and doesnt show register to view link thing.. sad. =/
