Links for Registered Users Only

Very simple hack, as requested here.

What does it do?
All links can only be viewed by registered members.

Time to install: 5 minutes, if not less
Files to edit: 1

Open up includes/functions_bbcodeparse.php, and find:

PHP Code:

return "<a href=\"$rightlink\" target=\"_blank\">$text</a>"; 


Replace with:

PHP Code:

global $bbuserinfo;
if ($bbuserinfo[userid] != 0)
{
return "<a href=\"$rightlink\" target=\"_blank\">$text</a>";
}
else
{
return "Guests cannot view links. You must <a href='register.php'>register</a> to see links.";
} 


Thats it .

NOTE:
If you are using Floris' standard URL hyperlink opening in same window, the first step is:

Find

PHP Code:

return "<a href=\"$rightlink\">$text</a>"; 


If you are using Postcache, you might need to rebuild it.

Please click install if used!

}  
else  
{  
return "Guests cannot view links. You must <a href='register.php'>register</a> to see links."; 
}

Do you also happen to know what the condition would be to only allow people in a usergroup higher than, say 6?
