This is a step closer to what I had in mind for a 'save post, then register' mod...

Great mod, but there is a complication with photoplog as when guests click today's posts, it sends them to the register.php, but since it is a search button, it adds:

Code:

&photoplog_searchinfo=1

making it a broken link. Any ideas around it without me using template edits?

i'm getting confused.... is this working with member bots hack or not?
In other words, if i have installed member bots, will search engine bots still be recognized as members, or will be redirected to the register page?
thanks

If you have searching enabled for guests then this hack will redirect the guest from search.php to register.php. Simple workaround - disable Guest Search Redirect under plugin manager.

Followed the install instructions, here's the message:

This file appears to be a Product, not a Plugin. Please use Manage Products to add this file.

I then tried from the manage products/plugins manager and it installs.

But it doesnt work.

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