Show Thread Enhancements - Register to reply button in postfoot for guests

This is just a simple little edit that changes the reply with quote button, to a register to reply button that points to a register page instead of a no permissions page.

INSTRUCTIONS: Open postbit or postbit_legacy template depending on your forum setup.

Find:

<vb:if condition="$post['replylink']">

Replace with:

<vb:if condition="$post['replylink'] AND $show['member']">

Find:

<vb:if condition="$show['multiquote_post']"><span class="seperator">&nbsp;</span></vb:if>
</vb:if>

Add After:

<vb:if condition="$show['guest']">
<a id="qrwq_5837" class="newreply" href="http://YOUR FORUM URL/register.php" rel="nofollow"><img id="quoteimg_5837" src="clear.gif" alt="Reply With Quote" />  Register To Reply</a>
</vb:if>

Replace "YOUR FORUM URL" with your forum path, save template and you should be all good to go.

I am by no means an experience coder, but can find my way around php. If you have any problems please let me know and I will do my best to help. Enjoy.

Actually, a good idea, I've done this before (similar) but did not think to share so hats off from Supes .

Edit: Not marking as installed but I did vote, 5 stars for concept and implementation .

[basilrath]

I actually agree as its very simple and the fact that its "under the nose" can often be reason someone will register and reply.

Well thought..... less is more

Agree w/TheLastSuperman. I'm not running vB4, but 5 stars for a great idea and share.

Hi, I saw you were running 4.0.2 so I tested it and there is one little change in the code you need to search for, I'll put all the instructions here.

Find

<vb:if condition="$post['replylink']">

Replace with

<vb:if condition="$post['replylink'] AND $show['member']">

Find

alt="{vb:rawphrase multi_quote_this_message}" />&nbsp;</a> 
</vb:if>

Add After

<vb:if condition="$show['guest']">
<a id="qrwq_5837" class="newreply" href="http://YOUR FORUM URL/register.php" rel="nofollow"><img id="quoteimg_5837" src="clear.gif" alt="Reply With Quote" />  Register To Reply</a>
</vb:if>

You should be all good to go after that.
