Enjoy this fine update.


Guests always seen hidden links, if this addon activated. You can't exclude guests and include group ids. Non-excluded Forums are depend by the made options in vbulletins-options.


You'll find different versions in the archive. "product-Hide_Links_From_Guest_v132_36x_english.xml" is the newest one.
36x in filename means, product for vBulletin 3.6.x only, not downward-compatibly
354 in filename means, product for vBulletin 3.5.4.

This Addon works fine with the "Post Replacement" addon from Larrysw.
You need only to change the "Execution Order" from 5 to 4 in "Plugin Manager" -> Guests will not see links in posts (Hook: postbit_display_complete)

For german members of vBulletin, please click here for install. Thx


Have Fun

Regards, Stoebi

Any idea?

[mertiliuss]

You can hide the links to records? and reveal the answer it?

thanks.

I understood that is my fault. I have been installed a plugin https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/showthrea...ghlight=nolink. The issue belongs to it. No problem with Stoebi's "Hide Links From Guests" plugin

There is not a problem, it's my opinion.
