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

Doesn't seem to appear to be working for anything in the posts themselves. Looks like it works good now in signatures with that fix posted above.. Any ideas on how to do it in posts with/without the www in the link?

[glennybee]

I've just upgraded to 3.7.0 and was looking to see if this plugin was compatible.

I see there's mixed results but it seems to be working ok for me.

Live demo can be seen here... http://www.digital-kaos.co.uk/forums...ead.php?t=2523

[maidos]

[BiZiMDiYaR]

[maidos]

[DaninMS]

Installed on 3.7 and it works for me. Thanks for the mod.

[Rajdeep]

not working when we code the links

For example -

http://www.vbulletin.org

This mod is useless for me, if it doesnt hide the coded links..
Please help me

Thanks

[mrkhm]

just to let you know this works absolutely beautifully for 3.6.8 pl2 and is probably one of the mos useful mods available

ta!

I've tried it in 3.7 and 3.7.1 and later in not working properly.

What you can see running on http://www.sabiosdelpc.net

As you can see not hidden links to visitors.

I am very interested in using it.

You can update it?

Thank you
