Look But No Read

[ɔɔɔɔɔɔuɥoɾ]

Thank you  Deprecated, I had no idea this MOD existed but it was needed and I had to ask if anything like this was available. This should be a default CORE mod for SMF. Thanks for making this one bud I was using REG LINKS but that can get annoying seeing REGISTER everywhere.

Good job. I had to parse and stuff since my site is so full of MODS but, it was very easy.

I agree, their should be an option which allows this.

[NaYa]

i just installed this MOD with some errors,and after that i manually edited the files(which shows errors) ..
ANd also i set all in its options.But still it is not working with me.

Smf 2.0 Rc3
Simple portal,prettyURls installed .
Still guests can read the topics and threads..

what to do ?

[Mave]

For everybody who has problems with Guests still reading the last post in the topics trough the most recent topics link.

Here is a solution:

Open the Recent.php  in /Sources/ and find this code:

Code Select Expand

loadTemplate('Recent', 'forum');
$context['page_title'] = $txt['recent_posts'];


Replace:

Code Select Expand

is_not_guest(); loadTemplate('Recent', 'forum');
$context['page_title'] = $txt['recent_posts'];


This is a solution wich works very fine for SMF  2.0 RC3 and recent.


This code will give the guest a warning to either log in or register to the forum.

Have a try HERE

This forum is in dutch but at the bottom you will find: Bekijk de meest recente berichten op het forum.

click on that and the warning will be given.

Hope this helps a bit. 


p.s: ofcorse always make a backup first from your recent.php to re-instal if needed.

Thanx ronny42

I make a bugfix its easier to de-/install it.

I am using your mod on my SMF 2.0 RC3. I have installed it and set up my forum so guest can see the boars but cannot enter a topic.

Now, if they register, they can read the topic. I need to lock registered members out. Only one of the member groups should be able to read the topics (the paying ones).

How can I do that?

Is there any way to add a note that they have to become a paying member in order to be able to read the topic?

[ɔɔɔɔɔɔuɥoɾ]

Maybe you can set boards for paying members and boards for free members, its pretty simple to do.

Simply use the paid subscriptions, and have people who pay moved to a memberg roup which is allowed to see your "paid" content.

[J. S.]

So..

If they are guest, they can see the titles, not the topic.

If they register they can see everything,
.. or, I can set the boards to be visible only to paying members, but then, the boards will magically disappear when they log in, because they can only see the boards as guest, right? They should still be able to see the topics but not to read the post.

This mod will let members view the boards and their topic titles listed in those boards, as soon as they click the topic to read it they get a login box. If they register they see everything.
Once your guests are registered members this mod has no more function after that.

If you have other boards set so that say "Premium Members" (that would be the name of a member group you would create) can only use, they will not be visible to anyone except Admin and "Premium Members". To automate the process of making them be part of the member group "Premium Members" you can use the paid subscriptions, which is part of SMF already. This will move them to that group after they pay the fee, then they will see the boards only available to that group as well as any other boards available to other members.

[NotNice]

great mod, works almost as I want it to work, guests can see the topics-lists but can not read the topics
except when they choose 'View the most recent posts on the forum.' in the forum stats on the front page, then they see the most recent posts and content.

That's not really a problem for me, I simply removed that part in the code, I have placed the 'Show unread posts since last visit. - Show new replies to your posts' at the bottom of the page for my members, but I can image it could be a problem on other forums

[Uhura!]

I have 1.11 & Ronnie's suggestion fixed the issue of guests being able to see the restricted posts via the infocenter link

But if you havea board set to premium members only, then it cannot bee seen as a guest so they still do not know it is there. This si the problem I am having.

I have contacted the author to see if he can change the mod to work with regular members / paid members instead of guests/regular members.

I want guests and members to be able to see boards / topics, but not read them unless they are subscribed.

[kibtwane]

Can I use this mod to deny access to a specific board? (rather than just the topics within it).

For example - The board name will be visible on the main index, but if a guest clicks it then they are taken to the log-in/register screen?

That's what I'd like this mod to do too.

A nice mod. I never see this before but it is almost similar to view only board mod. Will have a try on this later.

[jaisi]

Any chance to update for R4

[bharatforum]

I installed this mod but I found out that all guests can read the context of the topics which are not hidden from them. Is it possible to do something about it?
