How can I eliminate postbit links for guests?

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

How can I do this?

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.

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:

HTML Code:

{vb:raw memberaction_dropdown}

Replace it with:

HTML Code:

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

that worked except all formatting is gone for the username.

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:

Code:

<ul class="popupbody popuphover memberaction_body">

Above that add this:

Code:

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

Then find the following:

Code:

</ul>

And below that add this:

Code:

</vb:if>

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.

Ok give me a minute, stay tuned.

OK find this line:

Code:

        <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:

Code:

        <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>

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

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

Hmmm, ok back to the drawing board.

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

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

Ok then replace the entire contents with this:

Code:

<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 class="left">

        </vb:if>

</div>

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

Not that I can see on my site, there should be no reason it does that on yours. Since the css is in there:

Code:

style="font-size:{vb:stylevar font.fontSize}{vb:stylevar font.units};

            font-weight:bold;"

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?

sure, stand by for a pm

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:

Code:

<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}

                                </a>

                        </li>

                        

                        <li class="right">

                                        {vb:rawphrase view_forum_posts}

                                </a>

                        </li>

                        

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

Not a problem, glad to help. :)

<a href="https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/showpost.php?p=2488399&postcount=5" target="_blank">This</a> is a tried and tested code, it did not work due to customization in other templates. Anyways problem has been solved.
