Links for Registered Users Only

Very simple hack, as requested here.

What does it do?
All links can only be viewed by registered members.

Time to install: 5 minutes, if not less
Files to edit: 1

Open up includes/functions_bbcodeparse.php, and find:

PHP Code:

return "<a href=\"$rightlink\" target=\"_blank\">$text</a>"; 

Replace with:

PHP Code:

global $bbuserinfo;
if ($bbuserinfo[userid] != 0)
{
return "<a href=\"$rightlink\" target=\"_blank\">$text</a>";
}
else
{
return "Guests cannot view links. You must <a href='register.php'>register</a> to see links.";
} 

Thats it .

NOTE:
If you are using Floris' standard URL hyperlink opening in same window, the first step is:

Find

PHP Code:

return "<a href=\"$rightlink\">$text</a>"; 

If you are using Postcache, you might need to rebuild it.

Please click install if used!

Nice. Wondering about something. If I just want this to show for a select amount of usergroups, like admins, mods and a special usergroup just to view, while non members and regular members can not view, how would I do that please?

You can replace

PHP Code:

$bbuserinfo[userid] != 0 

With

PHP Code:

in_array($bbuserinfo[usergroupid], array(X,Y,Z)) 

Change the x, the y and the z to the usergroupids that are allowed to view the links.
You can add more usergroups to the list, like this: array(W,X,Y,Z)

If you's like to enter a list of usergroups that are NOT allowed, please a little ! in from of the in_array, like this:

PHP Code:

!in_array($bbuserinfo[usergroupid],.... 

And change the x, the y and the z to usergroups that are not allowed to view the links.

Hope that helps .
