How can I eliminate postbit links for guests?

[joeychgo]

I want to make it so the username in the postbit, is not clickable for guests...

How can I do this?

[Barcham]

On my board, I have configured the GUEST user permissions so that they cannot view member profiles, or use the search function or view who's on line, etc... So while they can click on a handle and see the drop menu, clicking on any of the links simply brings them to a no permission log in screen that tells them they have to log in or register to see this page. Works fine for me.

its still a link that takes someone to another page. That's not what I want. I want it to not be a link at all for guests.

Then you need to go through all templates and wrap conditions around the <a>-Tags. That dropdown does not only show up in postbit.

Find in postbit template:

{vb:raw memberaction_dropdown}

Replace it with:

<vb:if condition="$show['guest']">{vb:raw post.musername}<vb:else />{vb:raw memberaction_dropdown}</vb:if>

that worked except all formatting is gone for the username.

What is happening by doing it that way is removing some of the classes needed for the display. Undo the above edit, then open your memberaction_dropdown template, and find the following:

<ul class="popupbody popuphover memberaction_body">

Above that add this:

<vb:if condition="$show['member']">

Then find the following:

</ul>

And below that add this:

</vb:if>

Hmmm.. That kind of worked Ozz --

The link to the profile is there but doesn't work unless you right click and open in a new window.



Ideally - it wouldn't have a link at all.

Ok give me a minute, stay tuned.

OK find this line:

	<a class="username {vb:raw memberinfo.online} popupctrl" href="{vb:link member, {vb:raw memberinfo}}" title="{vb:rawphrase {vb:raw memberinfo['onlinestatusphrase']}, {vb:raw memberinfo.username}}"><strong><vb:if condition="$memberinfo['musername']">{vb:raw memberinfo.musername}<vb:else />{vb:raw memberinfo.username}</vb:if></strong></a>

And change it to this:

	<a class="username {vb:raw memberinfo.online} popupctrl" <vb:if condition="$show['member']">href="{vb:link member, {vb:raw memberinfo}}"</vb:if> title="{vb:rawphrase {vb:raw memberinfo['onlinestatusphrase']}, {vb:raw memberinfo.username}}"><strong><vb:if condition="$memberinfo['musername']">{vb:raw memberinfo.musername}<vb:else />{vb:raw memberinfo.username}</vb:if></strong><vb:if condition="$show['member']"></a></vb:if>
