Do you know if there is a mod that does the following:
Limit the content of topics for guests, e.g. to 50 word or phrase.
Add a message "Become a member or log in to see more"
From the administration, the admin sets the number of word or phrase.

What version of Smf do you need this for? I have coded such a mod, but it's for smf 2.0.x.

Good evening and thanks for the answer. I have smf 2.1.4
Yes, I saw it yesterday while searching. It has some differences from what I was thinking. I want it to read a certain number of words of each text, e.g. 40-50 words and then for more to ask for login or registration.

I take it that this is a request for such a mod and not a question if such mod exists. In that case, is this a paid request or a free one?

And of course it is a question, from someone who since 2009, has been managing a forum for his patriots and their history.
This mod, there is no possibility of payment, concerns voluntary action.
Thank you for your time, to answer.

For information, I put this code that a friend gave me in Display.php and it temporarily solved the issue. I'm sure a mod would help better.

Personally, I think this is a very bad idea.

When I visit a site that does this, I leave the site and never come back
