Hide links from guests · **Released**: 11-01-2005

Description:
Most guests browse the forums without becoming registered. And why should they, everything?s lying and waiting just right before their fingertips - written informations and the most important: hyperlinks.
This plugin hides any link from guests until they became registered !

If guests are browsing the forums, all they?ll see is a link like this

Quote:

( No link? )

with an alternate text "Please register first or login"

Installation:
Install the XML-file as Plugin.

Credits:
Andreas (KirbyDE) for porting the previous alpha code-modification over into a Plugin.

Notes:
In one of my meanwhile heavily hacked forums I wasn?t able to bring this Plugin to life. It seems that something messed up with the usergroup-settings.
On a fresh install I can?t report any bugs or errors.

Versions:
Tested in 3.5.0 and 3.5.1

Update:
November 02, 05 - File format corrected (Version 1.0.1)

Click "Install":
Please click the Install-Link, if you use this Plugin.

Because of this proposal I disagree that anyone is using parts of this code to build a commercial hack upon. Everyone who wants to use parts of this code in his hack/plugin/product has to release it following the rules and terms of the General Public License (GNU) to the open source community!

Thanks for the hack.

Is it possible to convert NO LINK to a phrase?
I tried this myself without success.

I created a global phrase called no_link and exchanged the text in the plugin with $vbphrase[no_link].
Now its showing this instead of the phrase content

How can I make a phrase out of this?

Hi all, I applied this plugin and it all seems to have installed ok but when I go to the site as a guest browser I can still see and click on web links in posts.

Any ideas what may be wrong?

We are on 3.5.0 with the 3.5.1 patch applied.

Cheers :up:

I just wanted to show you how this has improved my registration rates. I added welcome headers on Dec. 3, and I got about 20 more registrations a day. Yesterday, Dec. 7, I added this hack (hide links from guests) and my registrations more than doubled! I added this hack yesterday in the middle of the day, so I'm expecting a higher registration rate today

It is not a VB3 engine, just a parsed copy!
