Get rid of "register" option if you have registered

I'm logged in to your board... so why is there still a link at the top of your board asking me to "register"?

I'm not logged in... so why is there a link to my "control panel"?

This bit of code will remove the pointless links from your forum, leaving it looking neater and using (a bit) less bandwidth.

Details: Two template edits, that's all.
Demo: http://forums.mediauk.com
Use Username: vbulletinorg Password: vbulletinorg so you can see both states. We use text rather than the standard graphics, but you'll find the graphic code enclosed in the hack documentation.

Any answer in the hack working with vbportal?

After buying vBulletin last december, I seriously got suprised that this wasn't 'default' in vB (especially because we are up at version 2.2.2 by now).

As a guest, I was wondering why some buttons appeared on the menu, since some have been set to 'disabled' for guests through the admin control panel.

As a registerd user, I was wondering why buttons like login or register were showing up on the menu, when I was logged in.

As a admin/supermod, I was wondering why I kind of missed a link to the admin/mod section.

I really hope freddie does implement this all (or partially *g*) into version 3. I would really appriciate this (and I think more members will do).

>>brainstorm>> Maybe it is nice to have this as an option in the admin control panel > Forum options.

Show link on frontpage to the admin [x] and/or moderator [ ] back-end ?

Show link on menu to 'register' [ ] and/or 'login' [x]

or something near that.

I don't get the Register/CP buttons on vbPortal's home page, either. Did you have any luck resolving this? I put the code into vpbincludes.php as suggested.
Thanks

The hack works for vBPortal 3 on the Forum home page, but not for the vBPortal Main Home page (following the vBPortal instructions above). Which is a big hassle. I'll see if there's a way around it.

There is a small bug in the installation instructions:

In phpinclude part, the code:
-- cut --
//Make control panel appear if user is logged in, otherwise offer them the chance of registration
if ($bbuserinfo['userid']<"1") {
//they're a guest
$register_or_controlpanel = "<a href=\"register.php?s=$session[sessionhash]&action=signup\"><img src=\"{imagesfolder}/top_register.gif\" alt=\"Registration is free!\" border=\"0\"></a>";
} else {
//they're registered
$register_or_controlpanel = "<a href=\"usercp.php?s=$session[sessionhash]\"><img src=\"{imagesfolder}/top_profile.gif\" alt=\"Here you can view your subscribed threads, work with private messages and edit your profile and preferences\" border=\"0\"></a>";
}
-- cut --
does not parse session variable so I suggest taking it outside like that:

-- cut --
//Make control panel appear if user is logged in, otherwise offer them the chance of registration
if ($bbuserinfo['userid']<1)
{
//they're a guest
$register_or_controlpanel = '<a href="register.php?s='.$session[sessionhash].'&action=signup"><img src="{imagesfolder}/top_register.gif" alt="Registration is free!" border="0"></a>';
}
else {
//they're registered
$register_or_controlpanel = '<a href="usercp.php?s='.$session[sessionhash].'"><img src="{imagesfolder}/top_profile.gif" alt="Here you can view your subscribed threads, work with private messages and edit your profile and preferences" border="0"></a>';
}
-- cut --

BTW nice idea and good hack...

Thanks for that. I'll update the hack.

[hoops]

thanx! was easy enough..

I followed the direction on the txt file for VB2.2.5 but didn't work. I also have vbportal version 3.0 installed. What other changes would I need to make? Thank you.
