Limited Guest Viewing -- Motivate Guests to Register
Developer Last Online: May 2013
With vBulletin, forum guests are able to view endless amounts of content without being directly asked or forced to register no matter how many times they come back. The purpose of the Limited Guest Viewing System is to drive in registrations [or membership upgrades] by limiting the number of threads guests [or certain membergroups] are able to view without interruption.
This plugin offers two options which can be used to drive in more registrations. The first option allows you to show a reminder message or advertisement after a guest has viewed a certain number of threads. The second option puts up a roadblock stopping guests from viewing threads altogether after reaching a certain number of views. Both options work together to encourage and ultimately force anonymous visitors to either register or login but can also be used separately based on your individual needs. Install Instructions: Read the install file. Customize via admin settings & templates. Customizing the content / messages: To customize which messages appear or what they say, go to vBulletin options, select the “Limited Guest Viewing System” group and configure the options as desired. Each phase can be modified by adding translation text. Through the ACP you can enable or disable each option, specify the number of threads that can be viewed before the option is enabled and input any forums you wish to exclude from being blocked. Search Engine Bots (Spiders): This plugin is intended to use cookies as a result few if any bots will be impacted when it comes to spidering your site [bots do not generally use cookies]. Users with IP logging enabled face more potential impact from smaller spiders but should still be unaffected on the major engines. For a full explanation of the impact on bots read the install file before asking questions. Usergroup Limitations: Version 2.1 introduces basic usergroup limiting with the same rules & messages guests get. Based on demand this may be extended to a per-usergroup level restriction and messaging in the future. Change Log: - 7.21.2012 - Update to 2.1.0 which adds usergroup limiting, fixes mySQL 5.5 support, removes the need for template editing, cleans up install guide. Upgrading is optional. Mod Philosophy -- Drive Your Own Success: All of my mods are inspired by my work in the digital industry and are designed to drive registrations, interaction or other engagement activities the core platform does not address. Each is designed to fit a general need by providing a starting point but it's on you to decide how to make things work to their best possible outcome. Don't stay in the box.

I hate to sound like a broken record but no one can offer you support when the details of your issue are simply "it's not working".

Does your mySQL server not use MyISAM?

Don't know my mate uses HostGator.
Edit: (4:50:00pm)Ezekiel K.:Our MySQL servers use innodb instead of MyISAM. No members have liked this post.

vBulletin has generally assumed MyISAM but this is not a big deal. Simply remove the Type=MyISAM bit leaving ); in the query / xml file.

Pulling My Hair Out!
Hey Tom great Mod... been using this mod for over 3 years and love it. Great job my friend! Question what do I need to replace to get this to work with registered members. Looking at your code I cannot for the life of me figure this out! I know that non reg is 1 and my registered is 2, could you please let me know where to make these changes in the code and does it also need to be done in MySQL...if so where? Any help would be appreciated. Thanks again.

![]() As far as your question, if you want to limit how registered members see threads you'd essentially be taking the base code and rewriting the check functionality to switch from guest to a usergroup check. You can find the aproppriate functions in the vBulletin documentation.

Thanks for all your smart ass help TED! TEDDY! EDWARD! EDWARDO! UN-Installed. I'll rewrite the whole thing and post it. One word of advice...be very careful who you insult, especially when you have NO IDEA who you are insulting.

I think you have seriously misinterpreted his response if you think that was an insult. The smiley alone shows he's just palling around. Lighten up.

Anyways to each their own. But if you do decide to create a better version of this idea I certainly do hope you share it with the community. That's the point of this all, right?
