De.scription and Message

I wonder is there's a way to limit guests time or make postings "Read more..." then sending them to to the registration page. Can it be done?

you can use the FTR mod, found in the acp to force them to read a specific post and restrict them from posting. You can restrict them from even seeing certain forums, which could motivate them to register.

FTR is a nice feature on IntegraMod but the only problem I see is that it logs guests as "Anonymous" so after one guest reads FTR all the others come and go without reading it until I go in and delete the "Anonymous" user entry from FTR Users. Is there a way to stop saving this entries, only the guest entires? I selected "New members" on the FTR configuration.

you could add this mod (Welcome Panel on Index)
http://www.integramod.com/forum/dload.p ... ile_id=102

it will not force users to read a post, but it will suggest the post, or link of your choosing until they are logged in

I saw a mod somewhere that only shows the first post of each topic unless you are logged in as a registered user.

Would that work? If so, I'll try to find it.

Welcome panel on index is an option, but the mod that tmotley suggests sound very interesting. I would give it a try if you can point me to it.

Thanks all for you support!

OK, I found the mod but could not find the following code in profile.php"

Code: Select all

#-----[ OPEN ]------------------------------------------ # profile.php # #-----[ FIND ]------------------------------------------ # //// End page specific functions// ---------------------------  # #-----[ AFTER, ADD ]------------------------------------------ # // Start Guest See Only First Post by Wicherif ( isset($HTTP_GET_VARS[POST_DATA_URL]) ){     $data_url = $HTTP_GET_VARS[POST_DATA_URL];     if ( $data_url == 'gosfp_registered' )     {         //         // Update the GSOFP realregisters counter         //         $sql = "UPDATE " . GSOFP_TABLE . "             SET GSOFP_realregisters = GSOFP_realregisters + 1";         if ( !$db->sql_query($sql) )         {             message_die(GENERAL_ERROR, "Could not update GSOFP realregisters counter.", '', __LINE__, __FILE__, $sql);         }     }}// End Guest See Only First Post by Wicher

I stopped since I thought that there will be many other things that won't match the mod...

OK I found a solution on a posting on another site:

Open viewtopic.php and find:

init_userprefs($userdata);


After, add:

///////////////////////////////
if ($userdata['user_id'] == ANONYMOUS)
{
redirect(append_sid("login.$phpEx?redirect=viewforum.$phpEx", true));
}
//////////////////////////////

Now guests can see topics but are directed to the loggin page when they try to read any topic!
