Hide New Thread and Reply Buttons from Guests
 

Hello again. I was wondering if this would be possible. I have noticed that when viewing my site as a guest, I can still see the Post Reply and New Thread buttons. Is there any way to hide these from guests?

Now the kicker...I do have 1 forum that I allow guest posting in. So for that 1 forum only, I would like the buttons to remain.

Possible? How would I do it?

Thanks.

was looking for this too if anyone can help me.

You could edit your showthread template and find the code that displays the "Post Reply" button, then surround that code in a template conditional:

<if condition="$show['member']">
{original code here}
</if>

That will show the code (the post reply button) only to people who are members (not guests).

If you need to get fancy and do this only in certain forums then look up the article on conditionals in the vb3 articles section here and you will see more conditions you can use to limit the code per forum.
