"New Topic" and "reply" buttons visible to guests?

[James Z.]

I want guests to be able to see and click on the "New topic" and "reply" button
but instead of seeing the dialog box, pressing these buttons would send them to
the register page - is this possible some how?...

Open Themes/theme_name/MessageIndex.template.php

Find:

Code Select Expand

'new_topic' => array('test' => 'can_post_new', 'text' => 'smf258', 'image' => 'new_topic.gif', 'lang' => true, 'url' => $scripturl . '?action=post;board=' . $context['current_board'] . '.0'),

Change to:

Code Select Expand

'new_topic' => array('text' => 'smf258', 'image' => 'new_topic.gif', 'lang' => true, 'url' => $scripturl . '?action=post;board=' . $context['current_board'] . '.0'),

Open Themes/theme_name/Display.template.php.

Find:

Code Select Expand

'reply' => array('test' => 'can_reply', 'text' => 146, 'image' => 'reply.gif', 'lang' => true, 'url' => $scripturl . '?action=post;topic=' . $context['current_topic'] . '.' . $context['start'] . ';num_replies=' . $context['num_replies']),

Change to:
