Show Thread Enhancements - Show First Post To Unregistered User

This is just a simple hack that will show the first post to unregistered users. The rest of the posts will ask them to login or register. This is a template hack

In Postbit Templates edit the postbig_legacy

Find

<div id="post_message_$post[postid]" class="overflow_parent"><div class="overflow_child">$post[message]</div></div>

and replace it with

<if condition="$show['member']">
		<div id="post_message_$post[postid]" class="overflow_parent"><div class="overflow_child">$post[message]</div></div>
		
		
		<else />
		
		
		<if condition="$post[postcount] == 1">
		<div id="post_message_$post[postid]" class="overflow_parent"><div class="overflow_child">$post[message]</div></div>
		</if>
		<else />
		<if condition="$show['guest']">
		<if condition="$post[postcount] != 1">
		<br><br>You Must be a registered member and logged in to view this response.  To Register <a href=register.php>Please Click Here</a>
		<br><br>
		</if></if></if>

-Enjoy.

It's totally different.

This modification only shows the first post in every thread viewable to guests.

The Limit Guest Viewing modification only allows each guest to view a x number of threads viewable to guests.

Guys,
Keep in mind this will only work if you're using the legacy postbit, NOT the traditional postbit!

For traditional postbit, you want something like the following:

In the postbit template, look for:

$post[message]

and replace with:

<if condition="$show['member']">
			$post[message]
					<else />
							<if condition="$post[postcount] == 1">
							$post[message]
							</if>
							<else />
									<if condition="$show['guest']">
		<if condition="$post[postcount] != 1">
		<br><br>In order to view this response, you must be a <b>registered member</b>. You may register <a href="register.php">here</a>, it's quick and painless!
		<br><br>
		</if></if></if>

Of course that's just my own markup of it (wording), but it should work fine for you.
