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.

Note: Some copyrights reserved

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!

Is there an option to turn this on and off for certain usergroups in the admincp?

That would rock.

lordofgun · #4 11-02-2005, 06:57 PM

Oh, and maybe for a future version...allow internal links option.

Not yet - but I?m also not planning to add this feature. If you want to rewrite this Plugin & release it, feel free to use this code.

Is this compatible with vBulletin Post Cache?

No, it isn?t. Otherwise guests could see links or vice-versa registered users couldn?t - depending upon who created the cache.

akanevsky · #9 11-02-2005, 08:20 PM

That means it IS compatible. Good job

No plus no=yes ? Argh, who cares..

I can?t take the credit for that - I just did the hard-coded alpha part. It was Andreas who came up with the cache.

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