The Arcive of vBulletin Modifications Site.

Nathan D. · #1 06-18-2004, 02:21 AM

I would appreciate if someone could make this very simple "hack" for me. I want all guests/non-registered/non-logged in viewers to not even be able to view vBulletin without being logged in. I want them to come to a vBulletin page that will tell them that they must log in before being able to view the forum(s). There is a hack like this for PHPBB but PHPBB sucks lol so I need one for vBulletin. Also include on this page that they come to, an encouraging message to sign up. Anyone want to do this for me? Thanks in advance.

Just set the unregisterd usergroups permission to Can View Forum to No

I want something more advanced/sophisticated than that. Thanks for the suggestion though.

Well let me see...I haven't even tryed this...If I do this, when my site visitors go to http://forums.xxxxxxx.com, if they aren't logged in will they see a page that asks them to login before they can see vBulletin at all or does this just make that categories or those categories not appear?

That's not the case...I edited the "Can View Forum" permission for every forum's/categories unregisted/not-logged-in to No but it still shows the forum, just doesn't show any of the categories...

No, you set it in Usergroup Manager. For usergroup 1 or 4, can't remember which one is for guests.
