Let Your Guest Register...!!!
The simple trick does hide the link. Whenever guests try to click on the link, they get the Alert that you need to login or register to see the link. Then the page forwarded to the registration page. ;)
Thanks Eliana Tamerin For that quick correction. O:)
You just need to put the follwing code in your subs.php file. I've tested this MOD on SMF 1.5 & 2.0 Beta 3.1
However you can let it work with little modifications for other versions.
For SMF 2.x
Open Subs.php
Find
'content' => '<a href="$1" class="bbc_link">$1</a>',
Replace With
'content' => $user_info['is_guest'] ? '<a href="', $scripturl, '?action=register" class="bbc_link new_win" onclick="alert(\'You need to login or register to see the link. Thank you.\')">$1</a>' : '<a href="$1" class="bbc_link">$1</a>',
Find
'before' => '<a href="$1" class="bbc_link">',
Replace With
'before' => $user_info['is_guest'] ? '<a href="', $scripturl, '?action=register" class="bbc_link new_win" onclick="alert(\'You need to login or register to see the link. Thank you.\')">' : '<a href="$1" class="bbc_link">',
Find
'content' => '<a href="$1" class="bbc_link">$1</a>',
Replace With
'content' => $user_info['is_guest'] ? '<a href="', $scripturl, '?action=register" class="bbc_link new_win" onclick="alert(\'You need to login or register to see the link. Thank you.\')">$1</a>' : '<a href="$1" class="bbc_link">$1</a>',
Find
'before' => '<a href="$1" class="bbc_link">',
Replace With
'before' => $user_info['is_guest'] ? '<a href="', $scripturl, '?action=register" class="bbc_link new_win" onclick="alert(\'You need to login or register to see the link. Thank you.\')">' : '<a href="$1" class="bbc_link">',
For SMF 1.x
Open Subs.php
Find
'content' => '<a href="$1" target="_blank">$1</a>',
Replace With
'content' => $user_info['is_guest'] ? '<a href="', $scripturl, '?action=register" onclick="alert(\'You need to login or register to see the link. Thank you.\')">$1</a>' : '<a href="$1" target="_blank">$1</a>',
Find
'before' => '<a href="$1" target="_blank">',
Replace With
'before' => $user_info['is_guest'] ? '<a href="', $scripturl, '?action=register" onclick="alert(\'You need to login or register to see the link. Thank you.\')">' : '<a href="$1" target="_blank">',
Find
'content' => '<a href="$1" target="_blank">$1</a>',
Replace With
'content' => $user_info['is_guest'] ? '<a href="', $scripturl, '?action=register" onclick="alert(\'You need to login or register to see the link. Thank you.\')">$1</a>' : '<a href="$1" target="_blank">$1</a>',
Find
'before' => '<a href="$1" target="_blank">',
Replace With
'before' => $user_info['is_guest'] ? '<a href="', $scripturl, '?action=register" onclick="alert(\'You need to login or register to see the link. Thank you.\')">' : '<a href="$1" target="_blank">',
Demo is here,
http://www.project-bb.org/programming-tutorials/c-programming-tutorials-t2642/
Try to click on any link there, you'll get a javascript alert & forwarded to registration page. :)
Why don't you just use <a href="', $scripturl, '?action=register">Blah</a>?

Thanks for letting me know that. I'm editing main post to help others. :)
Yeah, useful little variable. ;)

Where can i get the complete list of such variables lol ?
Well, you can look in Load.php. There's also some variables for theming, like $scripturl, $themedir (which points to /Themes/default), $languagedir (which points to /Themes/default/languages) and $settings['images_url'] (which points to /Themes/default/images) and so on.

Ohh... Thanks. Any chance of getting it moved to tips & tricks. :)
I am not familiar with javascript, but I am wondering if it's possible to show a little alert menu that (instead of having an OK button) has a LOGIN button that takes them to ?action=login and then a REGISTER button that takes them to ?action=register.
It might be complex or not possible. This way, instead of directing them to the registration page when they might be already a member, it creates a better way and more userfriendly and less forcing lol.
Thanks,

Hi @SwapsRulez
Thanks for this tip. But it didn't work on your demo link..
I'm still having that pop-up warn even I'm a member of your site.

Actually the OK button doesn't redirects to the registration page. But the <a href> does that there. Actually its just a trick that first the Message box shows up & then it goes to the registration page after completing javascript part. :D

Yes, i've seen that you registered there. I have tried by creating a normal account. Dont try with IE, currently it does have some problem there. Try out with Firefox or Opera... :D

I'm getting this.

May be someone can help us. Thanks for taking interest..
Yep, same error..
On your site.
Quote from: Hoochie Coochie Man on July 04, 2008, 08:05:07 AM

Yeah, that's bad. I dont know what's the problem there. I'm making a topic in 2.x support forum. Hope i'll get a reply. But i think its not related with this trick. So users can install it freely. :)
It works fine from my computer (IE 7 and Windows XP)...
Is it happening on Vista?
Thanks for taking interest in the problem Sarge. Yes, i'm using Windows Vista. But my few friends using XP also got the same error message. I've posted my question in the 2.x Support forum here
http://www.simplemachines.org/community/index.php?topic=247845.0
& Its solved by the metallica48423. Everything is OK now. Its caused by the lightbox MOD.
It means that lightbox MOD does have the problem with the Internet Explorer. Though not sure about the XP or Vista.
Btw, Its not related with this trick. :) It was my problem. Sorry for messing up in the topic. :P
Thanks to metallica48423, Sarge & Hoochie Coochie Man who took interest in my problem. :)
So.. There is no error in this tip. Thanks..
I'm glad your problem is now solved. :)
There's something nice to read about the js that usually create issues with IE.
Mainly the trick is either uninstall the lightboxes (as you did) :P , or find a way to play around the
window.addEvent('domready', Lightbox.init.bind(Lightbox)); (http://clientside.cnet.com/code-snippets/manipulating-the-dom/ie-and-operation-aborted/)
'Googling' with the code above it will be easy to find a way to use motools.js or slimbox.js without conflicts.
There's a Integrate Lightbox 1.6 (http://custom.simplemachines.org/mods/index.php?mod=1158) mod by quake101 (not the mod by karlbenson) that actually uses Slimbox (created with the mootools library).
The original mod (version 1.4) by karlbenson uses Lightbox2; quake101 took over the mod and updated it to use Slimbox.

So what should i use to simulate that ? Slimbox or lightbox ? I cant find the slimbox mod anywhere in the forum. I know lightbox uses slimbox, but any chances to fix that error ?
@tatore, nice find. But i'm lost there in that webpage. :P Still i'll try out that... Thanks for that link. :D

Let me clarify: Slimbox is an alternative to Lightbox. I personally prefer Slimbox -- it achieves the same effect, uses less code and can be used as soon as the page opens in the browser, without the need to wait for all images to load. For more information about Slimbox, go to: http://www.digitalia.be/software/slimbox
The Integrate Lightbox 1.6 mod uses Slimbox. You can read the description and download the mod here:

I would really appreciate that, thank you.

You don't have to post that. After applying the modification, the guests will automatically get the registration page link instead of original link. You just have to do the modification in the subs.php as mentioned in the first post.

Can you please attach subs.php file here, so that i can look out for the modifications to be made in the subs.php for SMF 1.5.
Thanks.
Sure, here is my subs.php file.
http://rapidshare.com/files/129915850/Subs.php.html
*I couldn't find an upload form here and I couldn't post the fie here, because it exceeded the maximum length.
Also is there a way site links cold be shown as text.
For example:
"http://simplemachines.org/" would show as "You need to register to be able to see the link" and when guests would click on it they would get forwarded to registration page.
But when members would login they would see the original site link "http://simplemachines.org".
I would really appreciate any help.
Hey nowakfilip, i checked your subs.php
There should not be any problem with it installing the trick. It will work perfectly with SMF 1.5 also.
Also about your problem, you'll need to use just plain javascript without an <a href> tag for making it plain. Also you'll have to use the onclick event to forward the user the registration page.
This will help you ----> onClick="parent.location='index.php?action=register'"
Also one more useful link to check out which tags supports onclick.

Hi @SwapsRulez
What is that "bbc_link" thing? :-\
There is no such a thing in subs.php
'content' => '<a href="$1" class="bbc_link">$1</a>',

@Hoochie Coochie Man,

Don't know about 1.x :P

Replace my site name with yours. :D Also remove those class things accordingly if your version don't have it. Check if it works. :D
Do you still need help with this evanora?
does the code work for smf 1.1.7
Sure i also want to know if this works on 117
Hello,
I can only find 2 lines to be edited
'content' => '<a href="$1" class="bbc_link">$1</a>',
and
'before' => '<a href="$1" class="bbc_link">',
When edited with change provide I get...
Parse error: syntax error, unexpected ',' in /home/content/t/a/y/tayhome/html/piop/forum/Sources/Subs.php on line 1264
and
Parse error: syntax error, unexpected ',' in /home/content/t/a/y/tayhome/html/piop/forum/Sources/Subs.php on line 1272
What seems to be wrong?
Ok,
This is how the scripturl link should look
' . $scripturl . '
NOT
', $scripturl, '
Plus in SMF 2.0 pb 4
Just do a search for
'tag' => 'iurl', (opens link in same window)
'tag' => 'url', (opens link in NEW window)
To find the lines you need to change. Plus you could also add to the
'tag' => 'email',
To stop guest from emailing members that put their email in a post.
Cheers...

Follow the instructions above. You probably need to first backup the files which you are editing. After that edit the files on your site by downloading, editing and then uploading or other way using online file manager to edit the files. After editing the files, check if your link is shown to guests and after clicking what happens.
Best luck!
where is the file subs.php ?
Subs.php is in the Sources directory. Before modifying it make sure you take a backup.
