Find
// Board is not empty... topic is not empty... action is empty.. Display!
else
{
require_once($sourcedir . '/Display.php');
return 'Display';
}
Replace with

elseif(!empty($topic) && $context['user']['is_logged'])
{
require_once($sourcedir . '/Display.php');
return 'Display';

To
global $modSettings, $settings, $user_info, $board, $topic, $board_info, $maintenance, $sourcedir, $context
Not heavily tested but should work :) Actually it shows the login page rather than redirecting, but it has the same effect.

I have also packaged this in a mod and submitted this to the mod site. :)

Good, very good trick.

Thank you.

Very helpful. Thanks!

I'm just curious, what is the difference between Hide Topics from Guests (http://custom.simplemachines.org/mods/index.php?mod=2380) and this trick?

You're welcome :)

@Phantomm: this mod has a very small difference in functionality. This mod just shows a login page when a guest tries to read topics. Hide Topics from Guests is a more advanced mod. :P

Just wondering though, does anyone have problems with this trick? I haven't got problems with it myself, but I was told that admins can't see topics either. =/ Doesn't happen to me though

thanks i hade the same question

You're welcome :)

and what if I want redirect guests to the login page only in selected boards?
is there any way to do this?

Yup, but it would require a few extra edits. I'm quite busy with other stuff right now, but I will look into it when I have some time. :)

thanks ;)

Thanks but already a mod is there.  "Look but no read".

I did have searched in index.php and I not found nothing there... :(

You can find that in the index.php in the root of your forum (there are multiple index.php, each directory has one :P). ;) Also, I'm planning to release an updated version soon (Thanks Labradoodle :) ). ;D
