Disallow guests to view threads, must register first

Yes I know that there is already a a feature to stop guests from viewing threads, but then this also shows all the posts and threads counters to zero, and under Last Post it will say never (which sucks ). But, with my hack, it just asks guests to either login or register when viewing a thread and still shows all the right numbers

Instructions

Open archive/index.php and find

PHP Code:

    $title .= ' - ' . $foruminfo['title'];
}
else
{
    $do = 'index';
} 


Below, add

PHP Code:

if ($bbuserinfo['userid'] == 0 AND !preg_match("#(google|slurp@inktomi|yahoo! slurp)#si", $_SERVER['HTTP_USER_AGENT'])) 
{ 
    print_no_permission(); 
} 


Open showthread.php and find

PHP Code:

globalize($_REQUEST, array('perpage' => INT, 'pagenumber', 'highlight' => STR, 'goto')); 


Below, add:

PHP Code:

if ($bbuserinfo['userid'] == 0 AND !preg_match("#(google|slurp@inktomi|yahoo! slurp)#si", $_SERVER['HTTP_USER_AGENT']))
{
    print_no_permission();
} 


Open template threadbit and find:

PHP Code:

<td class="alt1Active" id="t$thread[threadid]" title="$thread[preview]"> 


Replace it with

PHP Code:

<td class="alt1Active" id="t$thread[threadid]" <if condition="$show['member']">title="$thread[preview]"</if>> 


Done!

Exactly, it seems that it's allowing the Googlebot but disallowing [Slurp] Yahoo.

I'm using this line:

PHP Code:

preg_match("#(googlebot|slurp@inktomi|yahoo! slurp|lycos|ask jeeves|scooter|fast-webcrawler|turntinbot|msnbot|webcrawler|Infoseek|W3C_Val|Googlebot)#si", $_SERVER['HTTP_USER_AGENT']

I searched the file and it said 'not in this document' worked fine when i was running 3.0.3 but am now at 3.0.7

[Marco van Herwaarden]

This line now reads (in 3.0.3, 3.0.6 and 3.0.7):

PHP Code:

globalize($_REQUEST, array(
    'perpage' => INT,
    'pagenumber' => INT,
    'highlight' => STR,
    'posted'    => INT,
    'goto'
)); 


In 3.0.1 the 'posted' line was not there.
