Register to reply button in postfoot for guests
 

This is just a simple little edit that changes the reply with quote button, to a register to reply button that points to a register page instead of a no permissions page.

INSTRUCTIONS: Open postbit or postbit_legacy template depending on your forum setup.

Replace "YOUR FORUM URL" with your forum path, save template and you should be all good to go.

I am by no means an experience coder, but can find my way around php. If you have any problems please let me know and I will do my best to help. Enjoy.

You can see it working here: http://forums.epczone.net

Actually, a good idea, I've done this before (similar) but did not think to share so hats off from Supes :D.

Edit: Not marking as installed but I did vote, 5 stars for concept and implementation ;).

I actually agree as its very simple and the fact that its "under the nose" can often be reason someone will register and reply.

Well thought..... less is more

tnx installed

Agree w/TheLastSuperman. I'm not running vB4, but 5 stars for a great idea and share.

Would this work for all 4.x.x versions?

cant see why not its straight forward code

Hi, I saw you were running 4.0.2 so I tested it and there is one little change in the code you need to search for, I'll put all the instructions here.

You should be all good to go after that.

Also, thanks for all the kind words guys :)

reserved thank you

Great simple idea. Thanks!

Great idea.. I noticed a lot of new visitors don't understand these things and get mad when they get the notice (you don't have permission blah blah blah)

Thanks

Yes, great idea. Anyway to add a new phrase instead of editing the phrase in template?

I wish I could help you there, but it will require somebody more experienced in php and vbulletin, I'm just learning as I go along and thought I would share a simple mod I did.

I tried with 4.06 and searching for them lines isn't found in the templates

Neat and useful. Thanks. :)

I see, the code is there but I think I know why you're not able to find it.

The second part of code you need to find is actually 2 lines, and vbulletin will not find the code when entered all together.

Do a search for:

Look to the next line in your template and you will see that it is </vb:if>. Start a new line directly under that and enter the code I specified in the first post.

Hopefully I've explained it well enough for you, but if you need any additional help, please don't hesitate to ask :)


Thanks, glad you like it :)

Thanks anyway. I hope you get skillfull soon enough in vB to help me out in this.

installed on 4.0.6 and not working i try with postbit_legacy and postbit but not working
here's the link

I can't read your source code because you have right click disabled, and firebug isn't showing anything in the postfoot div. Although I have been having some issues with firebug lately.

Would you be able to PM me your postbit_legacy or postbit template code?

It's hard to troubleshoot when I can't see the code.

I am also using 4.0.6 and new to VB though not to php (came a long way from phpBB)...so I wanted to ask whether I should edit postbit or postbit_legacy as I can find the code in both of 'em

I came from phpbb to vbulletin aswell, but I'm learning most of my php coding in vbulletin.

The file you edit depends on which postbit you use for your forum.

Options -> Style and Language Settings

If you have "Use Legacy (Vertical) Postbit Template" set to yes then you need to edit the postbit_legacy template, if not you need to edit the postbit template.

Thanks, it works now.

This does not seem to work with 4.1.1 as it removes the reply and does not show the Register to Reply, revert it back and get the Reply button back. Anyone have this working on 4.1.1 at this time?

Got it to work, it was in a mesage below that I followed and it work.

Look to the next line in your template and you will see that it is </vb:if>. Start a new line directly under that and enter the code I specified in the first post.

works great on 4.0.8 p1

Thanks So Much Installed

Installed and working great on 4.1.2. Thanks a lot!

I'm wondering if there is a way to get the "+ Reply to Thread" button to do the same?

Running on 4.1.2, all is good.
Thank you for this!

I followed post #8 of this thread, and all is doing great.
THANKS! :)

Cheers see if this improves my sign up rates

Installed with thanks ... :)

Note .. using vbulletin 4.04pl1 and used mod install instructions as outlined in Post #8. :up:

Nevermind, figured it out. Working on 4.1.1

Thanks!

nm it works

installed no issues - thanks for taking the time, I just put register.php in the code rather than our entire forum domain and still works a treat.

Me too thanks!

installed and working on 4.1.3 good job
