Emergency
 

If someone could help me please I need to know how to enable a feature where as to make it where no one can view a thread unless they are logged in or registered. If they are not i need the you need to register an account to pop-up so I can get more members to register.

I'm releasing some exclusive stuff that will attract new people and i dont want them taking and not registering if you know what i mean.

HELP IS GREATLY APPRECIATED

To make a certain forum open to guests, but they can't view thread content...

Go to your forum permissions (ACP > Forums and Moderators > Forum Permissions) and find the forum that you want to do this for, edit the "Unregistered / Not Logged In" group and set the following:

Can View Forum = Yes
Can View Thread Content = No

This will mean that they'll be able to see the titles of the threads (in the forumdisplay), but they won't be able to view what's inside of the threads. This will do this for the entire section though not just one thread. I'm not sure if you can do it for just one thread. There might be a plug-in for this, but I don't know.

As for the pop-up, if i understand you correctly, you could set up a notice in your Admincp.

Admincp > Notices > Add new notice

In the html box include a message and link to your registration page. Then tick the boxes:

-User belongs to usergroup: Unregistered / Not Logged (change from the dropdown)
-User is browsing forum: (select the forum here).

Usergroup Manager > Unregistered Users (perhaps even Users Awaiting Email Conf and COPPA users) > Can View Thread Content > No

Also, check these settings out in Forum Permissions for each forum and usergroup.

it worked. Thanks Lynee very much
