///////////////////////////////////

Description: This simple product will allow you to enable guest posting for certain forums, then redirect guests to register.php after the post is made.

Why Made: I've seen it asked for numerous times.

Install instructions:

More information will be released soon

To use this modification, you must allow guest posting new threads in atleast one forum, or else it is of no use to you.

I assume that if the guest does not register, then the post is still there?
Please consider to keep the post invisible for members until the member registers.

If the member registers, then is the post connected to the member's account?

That might be a bit difficult Alfa.
However, i like the mod.
Good job FRDS.

I wouldn't even now where to begin with that. I have my forum set to moderate the post automatically to prevent spam, then after I verify it isn't spam i just manually approve it.


If the member registers, after he makes the post it won't be connected to his account, unless he used the same username in to make the post as he register with.

I'm not sure if this is a practical way to go about it, or even if it's possible, but could you hold the "Guest" post in the registration page process?
So the "Guest" would type in their thread/post and hit the submit button and be taken to a page that says "hello, would you like to register on XYZ forum or just make this post?"
If they decide to register they fill in the registration form and their post is tied to the username they select immediately, still following the usual post moderation and user moderation guidelines.
If they opt not to register you could either have an option that lets them post it as a Guest or even disallows Guest posts entirely, just to lure people in...

Just a thought, like I said I have no idea if that's practical or not.

This would be perfect! I can't use this mod as it stands right now but it sure looks promising.

does most of what i would like - but is there any way to increase the number of posts a guest makes before the register message

thanks

if the guest does not register then the post stays in moderation for you to approve or delete.
