Show Thread Enhancements - Show First Post Only

Overview:

This product will allow you to restrict users to seeing only the first post in a thread, (and their own posts so that they can review/edit). There are settings that allow you to exclude usergroups from this restriction and to choose in which forum(s) and thread(s) this restriction will apply.

You can set additional CSS for the message shown to users, alerting them that they are being restricted to seeing only the first post and their own posts.



In order for the restricted users to see only the first post and their own in the "Topic Review," you will need to install my Enhanced Thread Review.



In order for the restricted users to see only the first post and their own in the "View Forum Posts" search result list, you will need to install my Enhanced View Forum Posts (search results)

Updates:

Version 1.1:

• Affected users denied access to printable thread.

Version 1.2

• Now fully compatible with "Hide BBCodes/Signatures From Guests/Users."

Version 1.3

• Forum and Usergroup selection updated to use multi-select scrollable menu.
• Message shown to user can be customized via CSS in the settings, and the message itself is now a vB phrase.
• Individual threads may now also be set as restricted.

Version 1.4

• Added support for both "postbit" and "postbit_legacy" templates.

To Install:

1. Download and extract the attached .zip file.
2. Upload the contents of the "upload" folder to your forum root. If you have already installed my "Enhanced Thread Review" product (ver. 2.2 or higher) or you do not wish to install it, then you may skip this step.
3. Follow AdminCP ► Plugins & Products ► Manage Products ► Add/Import Product.
4. Click on "Choose File" and browse to the product xml file that was packaged in the .zip file.
5. Click "Import"
6. Set the product settings.

Did you implement Alan's suggestion into the mod, without including it in the update log?

I'm a little confused regarding ^that description.

Wouldn't this be valid:
Hence the product is not "effectively disabled", is it?

Did you re-install the product? The section for configuring the forums shouldn't be there if you did. I ditched that idea.

Uninstall it and then install it again...somehow that setting got in there by mistake.

You ditched it :O

I guess coding for it would take a long time/ is difficult...

And yeah, I just re-installed it and saw that it was gone

Oh well, I hope you do it in the future...
