Testing

I have tested this on my Offline vBulletin 2.2.8 Board...

In theory, this should work for all vB 2.2.x versions, but my advice is to backup your files just in case;)

Screenshots

See the post below;)

The instructions are attached in a .txt file:)

Cool :)

This is by far is cool.. a must install...

I needed this, where have you been all my life?

I got users who don't understand that they have to reg. before they can post/reply and I have it in big red letters on forum home and yet still :)

thnx mate

I guess you just made a new friends hs :)

easy budd :)

Lol...

I just coded it cos I got bored, and it was easy to do;)

Glad you all like it;)

Satan

Can you make a lot of other hacks like these? Enough people will use them, I don't know, just make anything :p

Lol...

I do and probably still will;)

Satan

Noticed it already, how many Hacks did you already release the last 2 Weeks? ^^

Good Work :up:

Probably about 4:D

Thanks:)

Satan

Excellent idea:)
Installed. Thanks for the hack.

You forget that the Unregistered Usergroup is also for Not Logged In. So why would someone that already registered and doesn't use cookies, logged out last visit, or deleted his cookies(and other things) want to be redirected to the Register page :P But other than that nice hack.

Well, I don't think it's the point if the Users wants or doesn't want to. I guess this Hack is morely for all this stupid Users you got on every Board, and send you PN's like "I cannot post, can you help me?" or something nerving like this. I tried lots of ways, standart PN to every new member and stuff like that which reduced PN's already from about 30 / day to 5 / day. There cannot be enough Hacks to guide these n00bs.

Cool idea but im not going to use it :D

Hmm...

I had the same thought as [D]Vincent...

But then I thought - Why would they try and reply, post a new thread, or goto their usercp if they know they arent logged in???

Satan

Well sometimes I get logged out of my forums when I'm trying to post for no reason :P only every now and then though.

Weird...

Perhaps you need to change your Cookie Timout value;)

Satan

why don't you just change your forum options to prevent unregistered users from posting. It's a built in vB feature. ;)

you missed the point mate

they can't post.. they just don't always understand that they can't and even writen in big red letters in main page.. they still attemp to post/reply

maybe this hack when it takes them to the river, they just might swim ;)

this the hack could use some improvent, how bout adding a note saying " and for you [D]Vincent need to relog in "

just teasing nothing else :)

I understand that...

Users rarely seem to understand the "Register" concept;)

Satan

VERY useful

is there any way to redirect this from showthread? i.e. when they try to view a post?

Hmmm...

I shall look into that for you:)

Satan

I think I might use it, but mod if to point to the global login page hack from another post...

Yep, you can. I added the USERCP code of this hack to the SHOW THREAD section of the showthread.php and it works like a charm.

love this!
