Show Thread Enhancements - Show First Post Only To Unregistered User / Guest

Ported from: https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/showthread.php?t=181462

Thanks to ryans

Fully tested on 3.8.1 - probably works the same on 3.8.2+

This is just a simple hack that will show the first post to unregistered users / guests. The rest of the posts in the thread will ask them to login or register. This is a template hack. Of course you can edit your own message.

Additions / Changes / Ideas are welcome.

In Postbit Templates edit the postbit_legacy or the postbit template depending on which one you use.

Find:

<!-- message -->
<div id="post_message_$post[postid]">
	$post[message]
</div>
<!-- / message -->

Replace With:

<!-- message -->

<if condition="$show['member']">
		<div id="post_message_$post[postid]">
                $post[message]
		</div>				
		<else />				
		<if condition="$post[postcount] == 1">
		<div id="post_message_$post[postid]">
                $post[message]</div>
		</if>
		<else />
		<if condition="$show['guest']">
		<if condition="$post[postcount] != 1">
		<br><br>You Must be a registered member and logged in to view this response.  To Register <a href=register.php>Please Click Here</a>
		<br><br>
		</if></if></if>

You could try:

Show First Post Only

and exclude all usergroups except "Unregistered / Not Logged In".

I tried it, but it doesn't work. I can see the message "All Posts Except The First and Yours Are Hidden From View" , but scrolling down i can see all the posts without login. I tried both setting "all" in the active forum option, and selecting specific forum. It doesn't work..

Are you using the "postbit" template, and not the "postbit_legacy" template? I meant to add support for the "postbit" template, but forgot...I will do that today.

I tried with both templates, no way. All posts showed to unregistered users.
