Post subject: Only First Post Possible To Read For Guests

Hey,
I don´t know if this is easy possible...

I would like to have a switch, that in one special forum guest can only read the first post.
Maybe with sponsor text above.

Now guest can read the complet topic with all replys.
Does anyone know how to change this or maybe there would be a chnace to insert this in next version of IP
Maybe other users also would like it.
Thanks

should be possible

i think, i´ve seen something in posting php, or was it viewtopic.php, that had to do with the first post check and post sorting,

adding some code there like :

IF is not first post and Forum ID = Forum ID
display : false;

ElseIf blahblah

This is no actual code,
It´s just an idea

got to play with this idea a bit further, to actual put some usable code here

Thanks spydie and Informpro for your quick answer.
If you have some time you can play with it

Thanks a lot

Hardcoded would be enough for me

WOW Informpro, thanks a lot, I will give it a try later.

One Question about that:

Code: [Hide]

if (!$user->data['session_logged_in'])   
{   
    $sql .= " LIMIT 1";   
}   

Doesn´t that mean, when user is logged_in then set Limit to 1
Shoudn´t it be, if User logged_out (for guests) then set Limit to 1

Can you please explain to me, that I learn a bit more about php

Thanks

The "!" means "not".
So "if not logged_id then limit 1".

Tell me if it works !

Hey Informpro,
I tried both versions, but it doesn´t seems to work.

Tested it local with xampp

Do you have something elso for me to test?!?

The real solution :

For every forum
search

Code: [Hide]

LIMIT " . $start . ", " . $config['posts_per_page'];

Replace with

Code: [Hide]

     LIMIT " . ($user->data['session_logged_in'] ? $start . ", " . $config['posts_per_page'] : 1);

 

For particular forums only
search

Code: [Hide]

LIMIT " . $start . ", " . $config['posts_per_page'];

Replace with

Code: [Hide]

     LIMIT " . (!$user->data['session_logged_in'] && ($forum_id == 5 || $forum_id == 6) ? 1 : $start . ", " . $config['posts_per_page']);

Thanks Informpro,
this is working

Code: [Hide]

LIMIT " . (!$user->data['session_logged_in'] and ($forum_id == 1) ? 1 : $start . ", " . $config['posts_per_page']); 

But now I get for all topics only the first post.

Not only for $forum_id == 1

Can that be fixed? Thanks

Wow - I'm pretty tired. Just replace "and" with "&&" (and or by ||, if you have). Sorry.

Post subject: Re: Only First Post Possible To Read For Guests

Thanks a lot... it is working fine

Here is the code I used

OPEN viewtopic.php
FIND

Code: [Hide] [Select]

LIMIT " . $start . ", " . $config['posts_per_page'];

REPLACE WITH

Code: [Hide] [Select]

LIMIT " . (!$user->data['session_logged_in'] && ($forum_id == 1) ? 1 : $start . ", " . $config['posts_per_page']);

Oh, yes, it should be enough. Glad to help !

Post subject: Re: [SOLVED] Only First Post Possible To Read For Guests

Sorry, but I have to ask again...

The chages I made works, but not only for guests.
Even admins can now only see the first post in each topic.
Can that be solved?
Thanks

I just tried it in my dev version and it works. Try to reverse && parts but ...

Hey Informpro,
thanks for your testing.

I saw now that I was testing it with latest SVN version and not IP 1.3
It is very similar but maybe this was the problem.

I fixed it now I little bit different

OPEN viewtopic.php
FIND

Code: [Hide] [Select]

LIMIT " . $start . ", " . $config['posts_per_page'];

REPLACE WITH

Code: [Hide] [Select]

LIMIT " . (($userdata['user_id'] == ANONYMOUS) && ($forum_id == 1) ? 1 : $start . ", " . $config['posts_per_page']);

Do you think this is safe to use?
Thanks for your opinion.

Oh ! yeah ! sorry. I havn't guessed.

I suppose you mean "safe" : so yeah, for posts, it's safe. But there's many other ways to get the content. They are listed in a key lang (about self auth) : as "random post", "recent post", and so on.

Yes, thats right... but I dont care about the other options to get the content.

Thanks for your help
