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!

Thankyou for the hack-- and it certainly works, but all forums become restricted unless the user is logged-in. Is there a way to make it so you can show the postcount to the restricted forums, but not restrict all the forums? (still allow anonymous access to the other forums).

Thanks
