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

Thanks

I have been using this hack for a good while. I had no problems when I upgraded to 3.6.8
I am also running over 40 hacks.

This an excellent hack however how can i remove the tag "you have made the right decision" completely after clicking on the link as a guest.

One important addition would be to hide the links in "quotes" and code boxes also.

Works on my board.

Well.. it works.. but even though I have correctly verified the settings... it will also hide links for my registered users, and even myself.

Go back into the settings and check:

Separating each group ID with a comma, those links are shown hidden for guests.

For example:
0 for all groups
-1 for no groups

Only put in the usergroups that the links are not shown to!! So do not put in the usergroup(s) of which you are a member.

[Julio]

Yes.. that works. For some reason I had it changed to 0.

The instructions are misstated. They should say somethng like "Enter the usergroups that cannot see links." Then you enter in those groups.
