Make sure the plguin for the memberlist is enabled. Or try reuploading the plugin and reinstalling.

Nice mod!

I have some questions though:

1) Will this work on 3.6.x ?
2) Will this work also with showthread ?

I have no problem about search engine bots, since i have member bots mod which makes them act as a member...

This is good because I have the hack that doesnt allow guests to view links. ^^ That is a whole lotta redirecting to registration.

i cant use it as plugins, only products.

1. It should work on any 3.5+ vBulletin

2. Not by default, to do that, install the product, then click "Add New Plugin" use these settings:

Product: Guest Redirections
Hook Location: showthread_start
Name: Guest Redirect showThread
Execution Order: 5
plugin code:

PHP Code:

if ($show['guest']){
$vbulletin->url = '' . $vbulletin->options['bburl'] . '/register.php';
standard_redirect();
} 


Active: yes

that will redirect any not logged in/guest users to register
