Show First Post Only To Unregistered User / Guest · **Released**: 04-28-2009

Ported from: https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/showthread.php?t=181462

Thanks to ryans

Fully tested on 3.8.1 - probably works the same on 3.8.2+

This is just a simple hack that will show the first post to unregistered users / guests. The rest of the posts in the thread will ask them to login or register. This is a template hack. Of course you can edit your own message.

Additions / Changes / Ideas are welcome.

In Postbit Templates edit the postbit_legacy or the postbit template depending on which one you use.

Find:

Code:

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

Replace With:

Code:

<!-- message -->

<if condition="$show['member']">
		<div id="post_message_$post[postid]">
                $post[message]
		</div>				
		<else />				
		<if condition="$post[postcount] == 1">
		<div id="post_message_$post[postid]">
                $post[message]</div>
		</if>
		<else />
		<if condition="$show['guest']">
		<if condition="$post[postcount] != 1">

Here is another version which puts a nice graphical box around the "Please Register Text"

Upload Warn.png to images/misc/

Add this CSS code to Additional CSS :

Code:

.warning-box,
{
	color: #000;
	border: 1px solid #000;
	-moz-border-radius: 5px;
	background-color: #defee3;
	padding: 6px;
	text-align:left;
}

.warning-box img,
{
	float:left;
	margin-top: 10px;
	margin-right: 5px;
	vertical-align:middle;
	border: 0px;
}

.warning-box h2,
.warning-box p,
{
	padding: 0px;
	margin:  0px;
	margin-left: 60px;
}

.warning-box h2,
{
	padding-bottom: 4px;
	font-size: 14px;
	border-bottom: 1px solid #000;
}

.warning-box h1,
{
	padding: 0px;
	margin:  0px;
	margin-left: 60px;
	font-size: 12px;
        font-weight:normal;
}

.warning-box h6,
{
	margin:  20px;
	padding: 0px;
	margin-left: 60px;
	font-size: 12px;
        font-weight:normal;
}

.warning-box
{
	background-color: #FFCCCC;
}

.warning-box ul,
{
	margin-left: 30px;
}

In Postbit or Postbit_Legacy

find:

Code:

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

replace with:

Code:

<!-- message -->

<if condition="$show['member']">
		<div id="post_message_$post[postid]">
                $post[message]
		</div>				
		<else />				
		<if condition="$post[postcount] == 1">
		<div id="post_message_$post[postid]">
                $post[message]</div>
		</if>
		<else />
		<if condition="$show['guest']">
		<if condition="$post[postcount] != 1">


<div class='warning-box'>
<img src='images/misc/warn.png' alt='Warning' />
<h2><strong>Warning</strong></h2>

Interesting Raptor, I like the custom CSS and the included image. One quick question though. How will this affect search engines indexing one's site??

Raptor · #4 04-29-2009, 07:13 PM

I would think that most of the time the OP is what's important to a search engine.

Search engines crawl as guests so they wouldn't see the responses iirc

Black Tiger · #5 05-01-2009, 11:04 PM

Tagged this one for now.
Search engines crawl as guest but as a certain user agent:
http://www.pctools.com/guides/registry/detail/799/

People can imitate that, but maybe there is a way to change you mod and make a filter so the mod does not affect search engines.
I presume there are also user agent statements voor yahoo and others.

If it can be fixed that search engines still can crawl, I would be happy to use this mod.

I would be happy to use this mod. If you can a way that allows search engines to crawl,

sdavis2702 · #7 08-13-2009, 02:24 PM

I agree. Search engine access and I REALLY like this one.

Gersfan · #8 08-16-2009, 05:53 PM

Is there anyway to show only the first post and total hide all other posts?

Thank you
