How to make Guests see register/join on post

[tstark]

Hi, first post here... great software and I hope the support is just as good.

I was wondering where I could find a switch or modification (if it exists) to allow guests to see a "Register or Login" upon viewing a topic.  Either at the top or the bottom or both.

example..

--- Begin Topic
blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah..
--- End Topic

then it would say something like this.

"You must Register to post or comment on this topic"

something along those lines would be nice.. and the reason for this is because alot of my traffic is from search engines, and links, that link directly to a post and I would like the guest user to at least see a register/login at the bottom of the post once they are done reading it.


thanks in advance.

Cool that was nice

[manis99]

Cool. So u r almost done. Gud work.

But it would be grt if it hide links too and show link to register.

What im trying to figure out is,   hiding the link once logged in.   

Heres the button:

Code Select Expand

'registertopost' => array('text' => 'registertopost', 'image' => 'register.gif', 'lang' => true, 'custom' => 'rel="new_win nofollow"', 'url' => $scripturl . '?action=register'),

I have tried several formulas to remove the link once logged in the code above but i still see it:

Code Select Expand

'show' => if ($user_info['is_guest']),

Code Select Expand

'show' => $user_info['is_guest'],

Code Select Expand

if (!$context['user']['is_guest']

[sAce]

Code Select Expand

            'show' => $user_info['is_guest'],

this should have worked

[Mick.]

Code Select Expand

            'show' => $user_info['is_guest'],

this should have worked

Thats the problem.  No matter where i put it... before,middle or after, i still see it once logged.

[sAce]

where is the button located ?

[Mick.]

where is the button located ?

default display.template.php


find:

Code Select Expand


'print' => array('text' => 'print', 'image' => 'print.gif', 'lang' => true, 'custom' => 'rel="new_win nofollow"', 'url' => $scripturl . '?action=printpage;topic=' . $context['current_topic'] . '.0'),

add before:

Code Select Expand

'register' => array('text' => 'register', 'image' => 'register.gif', 'lang' => true, 'custom' => 'rel="new_win nofollow"', 'url' => $scripturl . '?action=register'),

[sAce]

Code (find on top) Select Expand

global $context, $settings, $options, $txt, $scripturl, $modSettings;

Code ( replace with) Select Expand

global $context, $settings, $options, $txt, $scripturl, $user_info, $modSettings;

[Mick.]

Code (find on top) Select Expand

global $context, $settings, $options, $txt, $scripturl, $modSettings;

Code ( replace with) Select Expand

global $context, $settings, $options, $txt, $scripturl, $user_info, $modSettings;

eh,...I already have that added on.

Here's what i got so far:

Code Select Expand

'register' => array('show' => $user_info['is_guest'], 'text' => 'register', 'image' => 'register.gif', 'lang' => true, 'custom' => 'rel="new_win nofollow"', 'url' => $scripturl . '?action=register'),

But i still see it after logged in.

[sAce]

Code Select Expand

'print' => array('text' => 'print', 'image' => 'print.gif', 'lang' => true, 'custom' => 'rel="new_win nofollow"', 'url' => $scripturl . '?action=printpage;topic=' . $context['current_topic'] . '.0'),
);
if ($user_info['is_guest'])
$normal_buttons['register'] = array('text' => 'register', 'image' => 'register.gif', 'lang' => true, 'custom' => 'rel="new_win nofollow"', 'url' => $scripturl . '?action=register');


works, i tested

[Mick.]

I see what you did.   Its like starting over with:

Code Select Expand

$normal_buttons

I saw that but never crossed my mind.   Thanx Ace.

[sAce]

Nice man! .. So forgive me, but because I modified the files, when I do an upgrade I will lose this data correct? ..

If you have a mod, can you post it and let me know, so I can subscribe to it's changes for future updates of the forum software.

Thanks again dude, you rock.
