Hide posts from guests {Show first post only]

[1master1]

This is simple request to show only first post to guests and hide the remaining posts and an option to add a note after the first [custom insert] post to add something register to view replies, like so...

Can we make it with conditionals?

[ZiNgA BuRgA]

You could do a bit of a dirty trick with conditionals - stick around your postbit template:

HTML Code

<if $mybb->user['uid'] != 0 || $post['pid'] == $GLOBALS['thread']['firstpost'] then> ... </if>

---

Also edit showthread, find both instances of:

HTML Code

<div class="float_left"> {$multipage} </div>

---

Replace with

HTML Code

<if $mybb->user['uid'] != 0 then><div class="float_left"> {$multipage} </div></if>

---

Finally, forumdisplay_thread, find:

HTML Code

{$thread['multipage']}

---

replace with

HTML Code

<if $mybb->user['uid'] != 0 then>{$thread['multipage']}</if>

Using conditionals you have to add this in postbit template just below </table>

[1master1]

no problem, zinga. got it fixed. thank you for quick suggestion.

---

You can make this a quick plugin or editable plugin

---

Yes, imran. It striked my mind just now . anyway thanks for the suggestion.

[1master1]

i think, we can do this way too. right?
instead of postbit edit you suggested, can we wrap the conditionals around {posts}
in

Code:

<div id="posts"> {$first_post}{$posts} </div>

---

of "show thread" template

[Imran]

Try to stick around the complete postbit template as zinga wrote above;

PHP Code:

<if $mybb->user['uid'] != 0 || $post['pid'] == $GLOBALS['thread']['firstpost'] then> ... </if>

---

there you see a $global variable which select the "first post" globally.

[1master1]

yep. you are right imran. i know zinga provided the best solution. but i just shared my view and i tried it on test board. lol. it gave a parse error.

{$first_post} requires XThreads.
I'm not sure if it's always set too, since it may decide to aggregate posts in {$posts} I think.

This works in normal view. Keep in mind, you can still reading all answers in archive mode. To fix this open archive/index.php
Find:

PHP Code:

// Finally show the post echo "<div class=\"post\">\n<div class=\"header\">\n<div class=\"author\"><h2>{$post['username']}</h2></div>"; echo "<div class=\"dateline\">{$post['date']}</div>\n</div>\n<div class=\"message\">{$post['message']}</div>\n</div>\n";

---

replace with:

PHP Code:

1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8

if ($mybb->user['uid'] == 0 && ($post['pid'] != $GLOBALS['thread']['firstpost'])) { echo "<div>Your Message to register or login.</div>"; } else { // Finally show the post echo "<div class=\"post\">\n<div class=\"header\">\n<div class=\"author\"><h2>{$post['username']}</h2></div>"; echo "<div class=\"dateline\">{$post['date']}</div>\n</div>\n<div class=\"message\">{$post['message']}</div>\n</div>\n"; }

Dont know is there is a better solution. Unfortunately there are no templates for archive mode.
