Show Thread Enhancements - Show First Post Only To Unregistered User / Guest

Ported from: https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/showthread.php?t=181462

Thanks to ryans

Fully tested on 3.8.1 - probably works the same on 3.8.2+

This is just a simple hack that will show the first post to unregistered users / guests. The rest of the posts in the thread will ask them to login or register. This is a template hack. Of course you can edit your own message.

Additions / Changes / Ideas are welcome.

In Postbit Templates edit the postbit_legacy or the postbit template depending on which one you use.

Find:

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

Replace With:

<!-- message -->

<if condition="$show['member']">
		<div id="post_message_$post[postid]">
                $post[message]
		</div>				
		<else />				
		<if condition="$post[postcount] == 1">
		<div id="post_message_$post[postid]">
                $post[message]</div>
		</if>
		<else />
		<if condition="$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>

Just wondering if it is possible to show it in specific and not all subforums?

[Simon Lloyd]

Just add conditionals to exclude the forums you don't want it to work in

Can anyone test it on VB4?

I can't find the code to replace in postbit or postbit_legacy.

<if condition="$forum[forumid] != XXX"></if>

Thats because in vb4.x you don't use <IF you use <vb:If ...etc

[Traxdata]

Im on vb3.7...

[Simon Lloyd]

try this:

<if condition = "$thread['forumid']==x">

where x would be your forumid

[Traxdata]

no way. have tried several codes but no one worked so far.

[Simon Lloyd]
