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

It's Works 100%

Thanks

[thedark1]

it would also be a cool feature if you could add a rel="nofollow" attribute to all links, or exclude some domains from this. that's very useful for SEO.

There is the problem 3.6.8 PL 2 link not hide.

See you.

See you.

yes you are right, all links still visible in 3.6.8 and 3.7.0 versions

[thedark1]

No, there's no problem in 3.6.8 pl2, it works perfectly.
just make sure you set the options properly and pay special attention to :

Show links from groups - all links posted from these group id's will show.....
Show links from users - same as above but for individual users......

make them both blank and then try it out....

also make sure Hide links from groups - is 1 for guests(unregistered)

if it still doesn't work, then you have another plugin which is interfering...
