Show Thread Enhancements - Show First Post Only

Overview:

This product will allow you to restrict users to seeing only the first post in a thread, (and their own posts so that they can review/edit). There are settings that allow you to exclude usergroups from this restriction and to choose in which forum(s) and thread(s) this restriction will apply.

You can set additional CSS for the message shown to users, alerting them that they are being restricted to seeing only the first post and their own posts.



In order for the restricted users to see only the first post and their own in the "Topic Review," you will need to install my Enhanced Thread Review.



In order for the restricted users to see only the first post and their own in the "View Forum Posts" search result list, you will need to install my Enhanced View Forum Posts (search results)

Updates:

Version 1.1:

• Affected users denied access to printable thread.

Version 1.2

• Now fully compatible with "Hide BBCodes/Signatures From Guests/Users."

Version 1.3

• Forum and Usergroup selection updated to use multi-select scrollable menu.
• Message shown to user can be customized via CSS in the settings, and the message itself is now a vB phrase.
• Individual threads may now also be set as restricted.

Version 1.4

• Added support for both "postbit" and "postbit_legacy" templates.

To Install:

1. Download and extract the attached .zip file.
2. Upload the contents of the "upload" folder to your forum root. If you have already installed my "Enhanced Thread Review" product (ver. 2.2 or higher) or you do not wish to install it, then you may skip this step.
3. Follow AdminCP ► Plugins & Products ► Manage Products ► Add/Import Product.
4. Click on "Choose File" and browse to the product xml file that was packaged in the .zip file.
5. Click "Import"
6. Set the product settings.

It prevents guests from seeing all but the first post of threads on both my vB 4.2.x dev sites. You didn't happen to check the checkbox associated with "Unregistered / Not Logged In" did you? Those checkboxes are to exclude usergroups from the actions of the product, which would allow them to see all posts.

If not, I would be happy to come to your site and take a look later tonight when I am in for the evening.

If you are okay with that, send me a PM with your site URL, and the login credentials for an admin account.

Okay, I believe I have the issue resolved. I had to declare $vbulletin as global in the plugins. Please let me know if everything is now working to your satisfaction.

Thanks for help! Now works fine.

Just test it Mark, thanks.
What about if there is an option to put thread id, so all rules goes to those threads only.

And last one, how can I make this:
"(All Posts Except The First and Yours Are Hidden From View)"
non clickable, it is near the title of the post inside the thread and it has the url of the thread.
Hope I give you to understand

That message is appended to the thread title, so it becomes part of the link. I agree that's not ideal, and I will look into changing this.

I will also look into allowing the definition of a comma-delimited list of threadids as well.
