Limited Guest Viewing -- Motivate Guests to Register
Developer Last Online: Nov 2020
With vBulletin, forum guests are able to view endless amounts of content without being directly asked or forced to register no matter how many times they come back. The purpose of the Limited Guest Viewing System is to drive in registrations [or membership upgrades] by limiting the number of threads guests [or certain membergroups] are able to view without interruption.
This plugin offers two options which can be used to drive in more registrations. The first option allows you to show a reminder message or advertisement after a guest has viewed a certain number of threads. The second option puts up a roadblock stopping guests from viewing threads altogether after reaching a certain number of views. Both options work together to encourage and ultimately force anonymous visitors to either register or login but can also be used separately based on your individual needs. Install Instructions: Read the install file. Customize via admin settings & templates. Customizing the content / messages: To customize which messages appear or what they say, go to vBulletin options, select the ?Limited Guest Viewing System? group and configure the options as desired. Each phase can be modified by adding translation text. Through the ACP you can enable or disable each option, specify the number of threads that can be viewed before the option is enabled and input any forums you wish to exclude from being blocked. Search Engine Bots (Spiders): Anything that changes your forum viewing can impact how search engines treat it. The cookie approach used by this modification is bypassed by many bots and, since people can still view posts, cloaking should not apply. Users with IP logging may face more restrictions although a filtering system lets defined spiders pass. This plugin is intended to limit repetitive viewing and not restrict people from single views. For a full explanation of the impact on bots read the install file before asking questions. Usergroup Limitations: Version 2.1 introduces basic usergroup limiting with the same rules & messages guests get. Based on demand this may be extended to a per-usergroup level restriction and messaging in the future. Change Log: - 7.21.2012 - Update to 2.1.0 which adds usergroup limiting, fixes mySQL 5.5 support, removes the need for template editing, cleans up install guide. Upgrading is optional. Mod Philosophy -- Drive Your Own Success: All of my mods are inspired by my work in the digital industry and are designed to drive registrations, interaction or other engagement activities the core platform does not address. Each is designed to fit a general need by providing a starting point but it's on you to decide how to make things work to their best possible outcome. Don't stay in the box. Download Now

Working a charm for me on 4.0.1, thanks! Nice to see good punctuation in the messages too.

W00000000000t!
I was desperately waiting for the vb4 version of this great addon. To me this is one of the top 5 addons of all time. Great job, I really appreciate your work. |

Sounds like you've had some bad experiences with writing in other modifications, hopefully none were from me!

For those that say working like a charm - did they actually test it? I can not get the mod to do anything while viewing as a guest and I've followed the instructions...
Edit: Should the hook location for lgv_plugin be itself? I think that's why I'm having the problem - it's not recognizing the hook location. I tried putting debug=1 to see what it'd do but then I realized I can't save the plugin because the hook location seems to be invalid. Attachment 111061 Attachment 111062 |

Yes it's been tested, I don't release a mod without testing one.
Please view your site as a guest and insure that the cookie lgv is getting set and increased. |

Again - is it normal that the hook location for lgv_plugin is lgv_plugin? How can one edit the plugin if the hook location doesn't exist? I can't save it or make any modifications because the hook location comes up blank when I click "Edit" |

So I'm perfectly clear are you seeing either the message or the block warning? Or do neither show when enabled. |
