pre-sales Q: 'guests first post only' mod question

[westward]

Hello,

I am still in the pre-sales mode, and very close to purchasing.

I have a question about the 'Guests First Post Only' mod by Dismounted.

Can this mod be also used to display the first post in threads in forums that are paid subscription based?

So that only paid subscribers to a particular sub-forum can view the entire thread? but other registered users, guests, and SE's can view the first post?

thanks.

I'm not sure about per forum, but I'd assume it'd be possible for only paid users since it currently likely uses usergroups, so you'd just change the usergroups allowed to see from members to paid subscribers.

Thanks for the response,

Is there a way I can confirm this?

My guess is that when/if you are licensed, ask the modification author.

Thanks again,

I was hoping to have this question answered before purchasing the license - I will do more research for sure.

Thanks for the quick responses.

[Dismounted]

I am the author - and it is possible, but not without modification to the modification.

Thanks Dismounted for the answer straight from the source...

Woud this modification to the modification be difficult to make by someone with little experience with the vbulletin platform?

Or is there another mod already available that would accomplish this task?

[Dismounted]

Most likely, I would be able to guide you through editing it yourself. "Find and replace" .

Thanks Dismounted,

I'll take you up on that, as soon as I get it installed.
