A big thank you goes out to natro for allowing me not only to translate the plug-in, but also to publish/release this with

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

I have *Installed* and works great as far as I know and I've gone through and tested and tested again =0) vB 3.6.5

Just one thing... If I am understanding the screeshots provided.. there is an option when makng a new thread or post to hide or unhide links?? I do not have that option.. did I do something wrong?

Even so - I love the hack as is... very useful! And was very easy to install and understand (other than what I mentione above) Thanks a bunches!

Does anyone know how I can get links in threads to be hidden from members until the they reply? I have a hide hack but the link comes up as plain text and can not be clicked on. Any suggestions?

Thanks
