Prevent guests from viewing 2nd page and higher in a thread
 

I made this just because it was requested.

This little plugin shows a no-premission page to guests that attempt to view the 2nd (or greater than 2) page of a thread.

Notice however that guests can bypass this by looking in the archive or the printable view of the page. :nervous:

Please, don't forget to click install if you use this. :)

I like this idea. Seems like a good way to encourage registration.

As stated in the first post it wasn't my idea :)

Also, it can easily be bypassed as I said. Can you think of a way to prevent that? :nervous:

I'm not sure, but from looking at archive/index.php you might be able to use the archive_process_start hook to change $vbulletin->options['archive_postsperpage']

Yes but the thing I should use in the plugin for the archive should be the variable for the pagenumber, not the on for posts per page :)

i may use this :P fantastic!

Thank you :)

Just installed this hack. Thanks.

Hello,

Any way to show a custom message opposed to the default? I would like to use a custom message for this feature since we are allowing them the right to read the first page of posts.

I am unsure how to do this.
It shouldn't be very difficult.
You can try searching in modification tutorials :)
