Hide links from guests · **Released**: 11-01-2005

Description:
Most guests browse the forums without becoming registered. And why should they, everything?s lying and waiting just right before their fingertips - written informations and the most important: hyperlinks.
This plugin hides any link from guests until they became registered !

If guests are browsing the forums, all they?ll see is a link like this

Quote:

( No link? )

with an alternate text "Please register first or login"

Installation:
Install the XML-file as Plugin.

Credits:
Andreas (KirbyDE) for porting the previous alpha code-modification over into a Plugin.

Notes:
In one of my meanwhile heavily hacked forums I wasn?t able to bring this Plugin to life. It seems that something messed up with the usergroup-settings.
On a fresh install I can?t report any bugs or errors.

Versions:
Tested in 3.5.0 and 3.5.1

Update:
November 02, 05 - File format corrected (Version 1.0.1)

Click "Install":
Please click the Install-Link, if you use this Plugin.

Note: Some copyrights reserved

Because of this proposal I disagree that anyone is using parts of this code to build a commercial hack upon. Everyone who wants to use parts of this code in his hack/plugin/product has to release it following the rules and terms of the General Public License (GNU) to the open source community!

Does anyone know how I can get links in threads to be hidden from members as well as guests until the they reply? I have a hide hack but the link comes up as plain text and can not be clicked on. Any suggestions?

Thanks

will this work for 3.6.8?

Does this hack work with post caching at all? Or does it turn it off?

I remember installing a hide links from guests hack a while ago and it slowed down the board a lot - so I uninstalled it, not sure if it was this one though :-/
