Show Thread Enhancements - Register to view all text

Register to view all text
By Adrian at Development Chat
Tested on vB3.6.1, should work on 3.5.x/3.6.0 i think. : )
Version 1.0.1

Hey,
This is a simple little "trick", to think guests are only viewing part of the text.

All this does is add "Register to view all the text in posts. : )" under the actual post text.

All the post text is shown however, the message is "fake", but will hopefully trick your users into thinking it's real and therefore encouraging them to register.

It should look more convincing via the "..." at the end of the posts, to show the text has being cut off.

Installing
Import the product-rtv.xml file.
Go to Options > Thread Display Options (showthread).
Enable "Register to view all text" (Should be enabled by default)

Template changes
Open Postbit > postbit/postbit_lagacy
(Whichever you use, the template edit is the same for both templates)

Find:

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

Replace with:

<!-- Post extension -->

	<if condition="$vboptions['rtv_enabled'] == 0">

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

<if condition="$vboptions['rtv_enabled'] == 1">
	<if condition="$show['guest']">
		<div id="post_message_$post[postid]">$post[message]...</div><div class="smallfont"><a href="register.php">Register</a> to view all the text in posts. :)</div>

<else />

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

<!-- / Post extension -->

Save, Done.

Upgrading
If you are upgrading from 1.0.0.
Import the .xml file.
Make the following template edit

Find:

<!-- Post extension -->
		<if condition="$show['guest']">
		<div id="post_message_$post[postid]">$post[message]...</div><div class="smallfont"><a href="register.php">Register</a> to view all the text in posts. :)</div>
		
		<else />
		
		<!-- message -->
		<div id="post_message_$post[postid]">$post[message]</div>
		<!-- / message -->
		
		</if>
		<!-- / Post extension -->

Replace with:

<!-- Post extension -->

	<if condition="$vboptions['rtv_enabled'] == 0">

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

<if condition="$vboptions['rtv_enabled'] == 1">
	<if condition="$show['guest']">
		<div id="post_message_$post[postid]">$post[message]...</div><div class="smallfont"><a href="register.php">Register</a> to view all the text in posts. :)</div>

<else />

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

<!-- / Post extension -->

Upgrade Done.

I m very interested in this mod, but not to trick them.

Isn't it possible to really only show a max number of characters or lines of a post for quests?

Thats why the limit guest viewing mod is a better option.

Okay... I have a question. I'd love this hack but where I am suppose to add the first template edit I have:

<!-- message -->
<if condition="$post['field26'] != '' OR $post['field27'] != ''">

<font style="font-family:$post[field27]; color:$post[field26];">$post[message]</font>

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

I have this because I have a hack that allows my users to chose their font/color in each posts. Is there a way I can do this without messing up that hack ???

Thanks in advance!!!

[PinkDaisy]

Anyone know what I can do ???
