Show Thread Enhancements - Register to view all text

Register to view all text
By Adrian at Development Chat
Tested on vB3.6.1, should work on 3.5.x/3.6.0 i think. : )
Version 1.0.1

Hey,
This is a simple little "trick", to think guests are only viewing part of the text.

All this does is add "Register to view all the text in posts. : )" under the actual post text.

All the post text is shown however, the message is "fake", but will hopefully trick your users into thinking it's real and therefore encouraging them to register.

It should look more convincing via the "..." at the end of the posts, to show the text has being cut off.

Installing
Import the product-rtv.xml file.
Go to Options > Thread Display Options (showthread).
Enable "Register to view all text" (Should be enabled by default)

Template changes
Open Postbit > postbit/postbit_lagacy
(Whichever you use, the template edit is the same for both templates)

Find:

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

Replace with:

<!-- Post extension -->

	<if condition="$vboptions['rtv_enabled'] == 0">

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

<if condition="$vboptions['rtv_enabled'] == 1">
	<if condition="$show['guest']">
		<div id="post_message_$post[postid]">$post[message]...</div><div class="smallfont"><a href="register.php">Register</a> to view all the text in posts. :)</div>

<else />

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

<!-- / Post extension -->

Save, Done.

Upgrading
If you are upgrading from 1.0.0.

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

Replace with:

<!-- Post extension -->

	<if condition="$vboptions['rtv_enabled'] == 0">

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

<if condition="$vboptions['rtv_enabled'] == 1">
	<if condition="$show['guest']">
		<div id="post_message_$post[postid]">$post[message]...</div><div class="smallfont"><a href="register.php">Register</a> to view all the text in posts. :)</div>

<else />

Interested in this, but I would want it to actually show limited amounts of the Message Text, rather than lying about it ... Anyone get that to work?
