About Developer · **Released**: 08-17-2010

I made this mod after being requested at my forum by a user and thorught to share it here as well in case other users will find a use for it as well

http://www.forumservices.eu/showthre...-hack-from-Ipb

ANyway this hack will allow you to show the first post to guests and hide the rest. You can enable and disable from the Acp where you can add the message that you want to be displayed to guests instead of the post. You can also choose forums to be excluded from the hide post limit.

The mod is not supported.

A new version that shouldn''t afefct spiders can be downloaded at my forum. Support for the mod is also provided there.

The mod is free. However registration is required to download it.

I re-imported/overwrote the .xml and it is working properly now on 4.0.8.

This mod has the right idea, but unfortunately it's quite flawed in practice.

For starters, it doesn't seem to actually query the usergroup ID when deciding when to restrict post viewing, instead it seems to check whether or not the vB 'guest message' is being displayed. Ideally it would query the usergroup ID, this way viewing could be definitively restricted by either allowing or denying a list of valid usergroup IDs (i.e. deny the default ID 1 for Unregistered / Not Logged In)

Because it doesn't check the usergroup ID, you can easily bypass it by looking at the print view of the thread, or the archive view if enabled. Even the Threaded/Hybrid view gives you big chunks of the messages.

Hopefully these shortcomings can be addressed, otherwise they should be clearly noted in the description so no one has a false sense of security. As far as registering on your site for support, well it would be nice if your site were actually online so we could do just that.

tried lurking into my forum and found mod working in 4.1.2 but first post of each thread in different pages are shown while the rest are hidden; is this by design ?
