Show Thread Enhancements - Register to reply button in postfoot for guests

This is just a simple little edit that changes the reply with quote button, to a register to reply button that points to a register page instead of a no permissions page.

INSTRUCTIONS: Open postbit or postbit_legacy template depending on your forum setup.

Find:

<vb:if condition="$post['replylink']">

Replace with:

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

Find:

<vb:if condition="$show['multiquote_post']"><span class="seperator">&nbsp;</span></vb:if>
</vb:if>

Add After:

<vb:if condition="$show['guest']">
<a id="qrwq_5837" class="newreply" href="http://YOUR FORUM URL/register.php" rel="nofollow"><img id="quoteimg_5837" src="clear.gif" alt="Reply With Quote" />  Register To Reply</a>
</vb:if>

Replace "YOUR FORUM URL" with your forum path, save template and you should be all good to go.

I am by no means an experience coder, but can find my way around php. If you have any problems please let me know and I will do my best to help. Enjoy.

Great idea.. I noticed a lot of new visitors don't understand these things and get mad when they get the notice (you don't have permission blah blah blah)

Thanks

Yes, great idea. Anyway to add a new phrase instead of editing the phrase in template?

I wish I could help you there, but it will require somebody more experienced in php and vbulletin, I'm just learning as I go along and thought I would share a simple mod I did.

I tried with 4.06 and searching for them lines isn't found in the templates

I see, the code is there but I think I know why you're not able to find it.

The second part of code you need to find is actually 2 lines, and vbulletin will not find the code when entered all together.

Do a search for:

<vb:if condition="$show['multiquote_post']"><span class="seperator">&nbsp;</span></vb:if>

Look to the next line in your template and you will see that it is </vb:if>. Start a new line directly under that and enter the code I specified in the first post.

Hopefully I've explained it well enough for you, but if you need any additional help, please don't hesitate to ask

I can't read your source code because you have right click disabled, and firebug isn't showing anything in the postfoot div. Although I have been having some issues with firebug lately.

Would you be able to PM me your postbit_legacy or postbit template code?

It's hard to troubleshoot when I can't see the code.

I am also using 4.0.6 and new to VB though not to php (came a long way from phpBB)...so I wanted to ask whether I should edit postbit or postbit_legacy as I can find the code in both of 'em
