Look But No Read

[tom333]

I found if guests clicked on the list of recept posts/topics in the info center, they were able to read the contents of each single most recent post in the given list,  but they weren't  able to access the whole thread for those posts, if they clicked on it to read the rest of thread they were bounced back to the login/register page.

I solved that problem by applying another mod:
Hide Info Center From  Your Guests for 1.1.5, 1.1.6, 1.1.7, 2.0 Beta 3.1 Public, 2.0 Beta 4
http://custom.simplemachines.org/mods/index.php?mod=1335

Cheers

that is solution.
the second solutionis - go to curent theme and uncheck -> show statistic in SP1 stile on frontpage.

Pls how do I install this mod? Im new and didnt find it anywhere. Thanks

[santanu]

installed this mod in The SMF 2 beta 4.

all was ok but when i disabled it from the control panel, the mod wasworking i.e. guests has to login to view the post. Then I uninstalled it with few error in index.php and manage settings which i removed manually.

Still guests have to login to read the post.

PLEASE HELP.

Well,i generated 150 new members last month when my average was 25.

But i think this mod puts a hurt on crawling spiders.   

So what im doing now is, apply mod ON for a week and OFF the next....to leverage the spiders.

I'm using a custom theme (Xbox 360 Elite) and SMF 1.1.8. I just installed this mod and it installed perfectly. I've allowed guest viewing and denied categories 2, 4. I thought I did this correctly. Please help! I've attached what my LBNR looks like. I'm logging out and viewing my forums as a guest and can still see everything. THANKS IN ADVANCE!

I think I should apply as a 'better idiot' beta tester.

I got some mods starting with this Most Coolest and Most Needed mod -- love it, exactly what I wanted.

Reading all instructions I could not find "how" to implement the mod except manually via the "search for this string" and "insert before/after" text. OK, so I did that, and uploaded that to my forum.

But when I go to the mods section in my admin area it tells me I have no mods.

Allegedly once I installed this it would show me settings and so on.  I checked that I had pasted stuff in above/below as instructed, that I had uploaded the new file versions, clear cache, still nothing.

So I went to the 'SMF manual' to read that (here on this forum) but all it says about mods relates to writing them it appears. It said if you had a question on a specific mod you had to post on its thread.

So, I feel guilty bugging the mod author just because I'm obtuse, as I'm sure this is something I'm doing wrong and nothing to do with the mod. But it's a cool mod and I'd like to use it, it's just my FIRST mod, and I don't understand why nothing is showing up in Admin -- why it thinks I have no mods.

Was there some magic button that would have auto-installed this for me, without the copy & paste, and hence had it recognized?  I honestly think this must be one of those things that is so blindingly obvious to everybody that they don't even really think to spell it out.  Any idea what I might be doing wrong??

So sorry to bother you. This mod is a fabulous and really needed idea.

Im only having one problem with this mod. Im setting it up so it don't show any threads past the boaard Index, but it doesn't seem to be working. Its still showing all threads in every Category but not showing posts (which is good)

Now all i want it to do is stop showing threads in the likes of General Discussion Etc , how do i go about sorting this out?

Will this mod work with smf 2.0 RC1?

if not when will you release a version that does?

[shaolin25]

I installed this here hxxp:forums.domain-and-web-talk.com/index.php [nonactive]
but when i put cats to disallow access like this 1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9

Only certain boards get disallowed access

as you can see
this board allows access still hxxp:forums.domain-and-web-talk.com/index.php?topic=128.0 [nonactive]

hxxp:forums.domain-and-web-talk.com/index.php?topic=37.0 [nonactive]

disallowed

smf 1.1.8  , is that the problem?

[FragaCampos]

I have it installed on my 1.1.8, so that can't be the problem.

[FragaCampos]

They can see the topic title in the feed but not the post itself. At least in my forum...

[Tanks]

I Guess It depends on how many characters you have set your feeds to output ?

[Dr.Stinglock]

This has been a great plugin, but I was looking to remove it because some users reported they could no longer view anything on the boards as a guest.

I had since upgraded to SMF 2.0 RC1 and I think that's what caused it, the addon was not able to be removed cleanly, so i went though and tried to manually remove it.

The only problem I seem to be having is that I can't find where the settings for the mod applied. As this look but no read seems to be working on any board I create now.

Before I removed it I tried turning it off, and then removing the two fields that set what boards were set to 'look but no read'.

Any idea of what file I should start attacking to give my guests permissions back to read? I'll probably look at putting this mod back on later after I remove it and get a good backup.

[Dr.Stinglock]

Anyone got any ideas? I have completely removed the code and users are still forced to login to view any boards I create or that already exist.

I'm about to run up another smf 2.0 RC1 install and see if I can import all my users/content back in and get around the problem but I think this may just copy those permissions.

EDIT:
After backing it up and then restoring it into a fresh install, it worked fine after fixing a few small problems. Just grabbing this again as it's such a handy feature.

[Drover]

This looks like a great mod, but I get this across the top of my forum when I install in 1.1.9.

$txt['lbnr'] = 'Look But No Read'; $txt['mods_cat_lbnr'] = 'Look But No Read'; $txt['boards_deny_guest_browsing'] = 'Boards to deny guest reading:'; $txt['categories_deny_guest_browsing'] = 'Categories to deny guest reading:'; $txt['enable_guest_browsing_control'] = 'Enable guest browsing control:';         

[MaXiForum.cz]

Hi,
Is it possible to adjust this modifikation - to be for both the guests and for the users with certain number of posts?
I want to let all the sections viewable but allow the access only to those who have at least 10 posts.
