Look But No Read

[Asshandler]

Hey Dep, this mod works wonderfully, but I have a question.

Is there any way to get it to ignore a specific forum?

The reason I ask is I'd like for this to be active on all regular boards, but on our customer service forum, I wouldn't mind letting guests read/write in there, ya know, in case they have trouble registering or soemthing.

I'm not sure why you can't do that. You can pick any mix of boards or categories to apply it to. Just don't enter the board number that you want to allow guests access.  If you have the whole category blocked, just unblock the category and block individual boards except the ones you want to allow guest access. That's the way it is supposed to work.

I know that bots are in the guest group, BUT, as some mods let us know when is a guest and when is a bot, can you make that difference also so bots are allowed to read the topics??

[Deprecated]

No, you have to treat bots and guests exactly the same or you will be violating Google's TOS among others.

[@rturo]

Ohhh I didn't know that.

Well thx

Very nice mod just a quick question

Categories to deny guest reading:     
Boards to deny guest reading:

So if i make one category like General Discussion the guest will se it but they cant acces it ?

Thanks

[Deprecated]

The SMF default setup General Discussion is a board, not a category.

If you set LBNR to make that board protected, guests will be able to read the topic titles, but they will have to log in or register to read the posts themselves.

[fyndler]

Ok ok hehe then i understand thansk

[Deprecated]

I too found SMF's nomenclature hard at first. I had to learn what they meant, quick, so as to be able to communicate it to others...

Boards. Categories. Post-bit. All the in-crowd jargon.

Does this mod works on 1.0.6?

ok, you were right, that worked fine.

I've set it up so that Guests can view topics within our customer serrvice board, as well as reply to any topics they want to in there.

However....

Guests are unable to post without first providing a name, email and verification of an image it seems.

Even if I input a name and anemail, it still says

"The letters you typed don't match the letters that were shown in the picture. "

Even though there is no picture anywhere.  lol

Any ideas?

@manlung:

Sorry, I know nothing of SMF versions other that 1.1.5 and 1.1.6. You should not be running any version earlier than the current 1.1.6 which has fixed some security concerns.

@AH:

I'm sorry I don't know about your anti-spam settings. I doubt my mod is related but I could be wrong.

[manlung]

sorry I mean 1.1.6

Admin -> Configuration -> Features and Options => Look But No Read

(see screen shot in OP of this topic)

Perhaps you have theme issues?

[El Brujo]

Hi, I can't install this mod because I get this error message:

2.     Execute Modification     ./Sources/ModSettings.php     Test failed

As you recommed I didn't continued with the installation. I attach the ModSettings.php file so you can take a look at it. I would appreciate your help.

Thanks in advance

EDIT: I have solved it, I uninstalled previous mods, installed then LBNR without any error and then reinstalled the other mods and everything worked fine

Adding new settings to the $modSettings array: ---------------------------------------------------------------------------// !!!*//* Adding options to one of the setting screens isn't hard.  The basic format for a checkbox is: array('check', 'nameInModSettingsAndSQL'),   And for a text box: array('text', 'nameInModSettingsAndSQL')   (NOTE: You have to add an entry for this at the bottom!)   In these cases, it will look for $txt['nameInModSettingsAndSQL'] as the description,   and $helptxt['nameInModSettingsAndSQL'] as the help popup description.

Used for textual values spanning multiple lines. ie. array('large_text', 'nameInModSettingsAndSQL', 'OptionalNumberOfRows', &$txt['OptionalDescriptionOfTheOption'], 'OptionalReferenceToHelpAdmin'), * A check box.  Either one or zero. (boolean) ie. array('check', 'nameInModSettingsAndSQL', null, &$txt['descriptionOfTheOption'], 'OptionalReferenceToHelpAdmin'), * A selection box.  Used for the selection of something from a list. ie. array('select', 'nameInModSettingsAndSQL', array('valueForSQL' => &$txt['displayedValue']), &$txt['descriptionOfTheOption'], 'OptionalReferenceToHelpAdmin'), Note that just saying array('first', 'second') will put 0 in the SQL for 'first'. * A password input box. Used for passwords, no less! ie. array('password', 'nameInModSettingsAndSQL', 'OptionalInputBoxWidth', &$txt['descriptionOfTheOption'], 'OptionalReferenceToHelpAdmin'), For each option: type (see above), variable name, size/possible values, description, helptext.

Sombra, you need to proceed with a manual install.

Tuguex, just put all the categories in your category box: 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6...

LaughOften, 1.1.7 just came out and I have not had the opportunity to test my mods with it. I hope to perform that process over the next few or several days.

And please, do not quote entire files. Attach them instead. A file posted like you've done is totally useless since I use automated document comparison, and I need a file for that. And a cut 'n paste doesn't work. Anyway, I don't need your file right now. I need to go test my mods using 1.1.7.

[LaughOften]

Thank you for your response. This didn't work for me on 1.1.6 either. Same error.

I will remember to attach files in the future.

Thanks
