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

Maybe it should say "Links should also be hidden from these groups. Separate each group with a comma."

[dai-kun]

This works great, especially since I have download links up but I want adsense to crawl my site and not have guests download links.

[jasculs]

Anyway I can get this to work with this mod:

It's an AJAX mod where the forumdisplay threads have expandable/collapsible first posts. The posts that expand show the links.

No, it creates more problems than it solves. and I have a virgin board, no hacks. Hack needs to be updated.

Great mod!!!

Running 3.6.5 and no issues...

Would like to know if this can be updated to include any links displayed in the Shoutbox.

Or if someone knows what should be editted in the XML to reflect this.

Thanks

hope we can have it for 3.6.8?
