Way to hide links from Guest/Unregistered users

[gh.rohit]

Hi,

Vote for this JIRA ticket if you agree: http://tracker.vbulletin.com/browse/VBV-15379

Please add way to hide links from Guests/Unregistered users.

Reason: This way users will spend more time on forum, otherwise they are visiting forum just for checking link.

I was using one mod for this on VB 4 and that time user engagement was way more as compared to now.

If you have more points on why you need this mod, then please mention on JIRA.

Thanks.

I totally agree, a simple extension that makes this may increase records in my forum at 300%

[gh.rohit]

Thanks. Please vote on JIRA.

Yes, this is a must have .. I've been waiting for more than one year to have this fearture...

I already create a question to this in vBulletin 5 Support Issues & Questions
http://www.vbulletin.com/forum/forum...-hide-bb-codes

They says there isn't a lot of demand for it.
we need to show that they are wrong because I feel a tremendous lack of this function that was so good at vbulletin 4

As they have no need to hide links to get records here, they think that this function is not useful. Well I believe that besides being useful should be a native vbulletin FUNCTION since it depends on the income from my site. I WILL NOT GIVE UP. I really need this function, even if I have to create a new thread all the months both here and vb3 forum.

PLEASE UPVOTE IN JIRA!

[gh.rohit]

Yes I agree. Thanks for your support. If you know more people who are looking for this feature then please ask them to vote JIRA ticket.

Voted. Nice feature.

Maybe links shouldn't just be invisible/hidden, but be replaced by a text: "You need to be logged in in order to see links." (or something similar, preferably customizable in the AdminCP) That way users can actually see that they are missing something. Otherwise they might just wonder where the expected link is.

Lets try to make this, beucause if we wait the support we die with no code


i found this conditional for vb5

<vb:if condition="$bbuserinfo['userid'] == 0">
<p>Register for view links
<br />
</p>
<vb:else />CODE LINK OR CODE BB CODE HERE
</vb:if> 

now i need found the area when the bb code start and put this, no idea how to search.

[gh.rohit]

Can you please copy paste that link? I will look into it.

[josueinaki]

Sorry for delay, the post in vb.org aparently desappear but i have the guide link posted there

take a look:
https://www.vbulletin.com/docs/html/...e_conditionals

i guess if we found the function bb code and englobe with this we get it!

Someone managed to create the script?

[pmquist]

Voted. Would love this.

[josueinaki]

How many time i need wait for this? Jira is useless?

[Mark.B]

The fact that something is in Jira does not mean it will definitely be added to the software. The developers take everything into account but they have to prioritise work.

I voted for it, but I rather see some features added, like make the URL's more userfriendly / shorter like this feature request: http://tracker.vbulletin.com/browse/VBV-4528
