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


Sorry for german screenshots

a great addition would be to allow links from the domain the board runs on to be displayed. Internal linking is an important SEO factor.

Hi,

use the option Exclude links (globally) in AdminCP -> vBulletin Options -> Hide Links From Guests

New Update available:

Update: 28-10-2006

• Guests won't see links in SHOWPOST (Post and Signature) (new)
• Supports my new hack Show Post In Printable Version (new)

My new hack Show Post In Printable Version needs a translation in english and will be released next week. It supports the new Template Modification System from Andreas also known as KirbyDE.
With TMS installed, no templates changes are necessary. Import my hack and have fun. No templates edits necessary. Great for developers, but please have patience.

i am thinking of installing this mod but one question. is it hides all the links for guests. i am using vbseo and tracbacks. what if it hides the tracback url's. This would be a very bad factor.

You can define which urls should not be hidden:
use the option Exclude links (globally) in AdminCP -> vBulletin Options -> Hide Links From Guests

For example:
localhost;vbulletin

all urls with localhost or vbulletin are not hidden for guests.
