Enjoy this fine update. :)

Guests always seen hidden links, if this addon activated. You can't exclude guests and include group ids. Non-excluded Forums are depend by the made options in vbulletins-options.

You'll find different versions in the archive. "product-Hide_Links_From_Guest_v132_36x_english.xml" is the newest one.
36x in filename means, product for vBulletin 3.6.x only, not downward-compatibly
354 in filename means, product for vBulletin 3.5.4.

This Addon works fine with the "Post Replacement" addon from Larrysw.
You need only to change the "Execution Order" from 5 to 4 in "Plugin Manager" -> Guests will not see links in posts (Hook: postbit_display_complete)

For german members of vBulletin, please click here for install. Thx :)

Have Fun

Regards, Stoebi

Sorry for german screenshots

Thx for installation. :)

Yes, but the link is not visible, or?

Edit: I see the problem, now.

Regards, Stoebi

https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/

this is what logged in users see, the small little blue button next to the user name is creating the problem.

Hack is useless as the old Version.
On vBadvanced and any other Portal or CMS all Links are still visible.
:(

for ppl who dont use any cms this hack is WORKS unlike all other hide hacks

I am using it and works great so far.
Test it here:
http://www.cpfools.com/forum/showthr...4788#post14788

*UPDATE*
I did find this mod to work great. However, it was descided by our staff that it is more a detrant for guests to get them to register.
I removed this mod from my site but think it was a good mod non the less.

thank u very much veryy good hacks !!!

thanks , install :)

can we keep Sig's links allowed ?

Thank you :)

Yes. In Plug-ins you need only to deactivate the "Guests Not see links in Signature" plugin.

Will bring another enhancement. User in groups 1, 3 and 4 will not see links, too. Based on a idea
from the user JonnyF (www.vbhacks-germany.com).
Anyone interested?

Regards, Stoebi

Why not a simple Hide Hack which shows links after a users replies.
all other hide hacks are either too complicated or simply doesnt work.

A usefull addition to this would be to also be able to hide email addresses in posts from guests.

Sounds like a good idea :) especially if it was done so you could also choose which forums had links hidden and which had links shown. Then you have all bases covered!

My programming language are not so great. I'm a beginner, but i think about a spoiler (not visible in printable version etc.) and hide hack.

Okay, it's on my list, but the next update brings everything tunable first.

Bit more difficult for me. I think about it, thanks.

Regards, Stoebi

Hi Stoebi - thanks for a great hack!

Any chance of a very simple variation without all the extras please? Just a simple one really that does not show links to guests but everyone else can see them :)

I really don't need all the other features but cutting down on plug-ins is a must for larger boards so we'd really appreciate a streamlined version of this hack if you get two minutes. Please :cool:

Cheers :)

Wow, what a quick update! Well DONE sir, absolutely fantastic. Give yourself a pat on the back. :D

Hi @all

@Razasharp

I hope, the new update interest you, because everything is optionally configurable.

Thank you TygerTyger :)

Regards, Stoebi

How do you exclude forums. ?

Edit: i found it. :laugh:

Thanks mate thats brill! :cool:

Bug : It applies in Private Messages !

INSTALL Clicked.

Idea : You can insert a field for changing TEXT of converted links (configurable by site manager) or even a popup message.
(like this)

Nice idea :)

The next version will hide links from guests in profiles and if anyone interested, i can public a patch for vbadvanced and vbeasy.

Whats the way to make it compatible to vBadvanced ?

Open modules/news.php

Seach for (arround line 200):

Code:

                                        $news['message'] = $bbcode_parser->do_parse($news['pagetext'], $mod_options['portal_news_enablehtml'], $news['allowsmilie'], $mod_options['portal_news_enablevbcode'], $mod_options['portal_news_enablevbimage']);

                                }

Add underneath:

Code:

                                if ($vbulletin->options['hlfg_global'])

                                {

                                        $groups = explode(',',$vbulletin->options['hlfg_groups']);

                                        if (!$vbulletin->userinfo['userid'] OR (is_member_of($vbulletin->userinfo, $groups) OR $groups[0] == 0))

                                        {

                                                $news['message'] = preg_replace("!<a[^>]*(http|www|mailto)(.*)</a>!siU", $vbphrase[nolink], $news['message']);

                                                $news['message'] = preg_replace("!mailto:(.+\.*.)!siU", $vbphrase[nolink] . '<', $news['message']);

                                        }

                                }

More to come (optionally activate/deactivate - additional addon (next days))

Regards, Stoebi

I've inserted Registered Users Group (number 2) in the field Hide links from groups.

now when Registered Users open their Private messages, they can not see links.

Sometimes we don't want our Registered Users to see links in one forum. ;)

Hi

Fixed in next version. Thank you very much for your feedback.

Please deinstall and the reinstall this addon, please. Sorry.:(

Regards, Stoebi

thanks man... works!

Got same DB error, so I removed instead, then installed and it worked (hadn't seen post above yet). Just to confirm that this is what happens.

Great hack though, and great support :up:

Installed, working fine :)

*installed ;)

EDIT: Can somebody please guide me how to exclude some forums from hiding?

and any way to make it NOT to hide linked pics?

Pfffft, 5 star hack.

Is it possible to be able to override usergroups that will see the links? By that I mean...for instance Guests will not be able to see posted links unless an Administrator has posted the link, which they can see?
