I want to be able to show the catagories and the boards to guests including the lists of posts in the boards but when a guest clicks on a post topic they then get told they cant see it and need to login register

is this possible on smf 2.0.1

Thank you

You can make it for them to not post a new topic and/or not to reply from within their permissions , but nothing as you have suggested .... I don't think there is even a mod to be redirected to a page for them to register. If you happen to have a portal such as "Simple Portal" you can always make a small block letting the guests know that they will have to register to post within a topic.

there are mods for this on the mod site, you just got to search.

Thanks Illori
I did search so maybe I missed this

Ive found some but they do this message by message which with a new forum is great but members are very liable to not do this

there used to be a mod that did it for the whole forum for the smf 1.1.x
where u set the forum so guests could read all the boards and posts but with this mod you then set it so they could see the boards but couldnt open the posts and messages, shame its still not there for smf 2

It's not difficult to code this in - requires one or two lines in three files, iirc.  If you can't find a mod to do it, I'll look up the code.
When in Emor, do as the Snamors.
