Allow Guests to view thread titles only...
Mod Version: 1.00, by Moya

This mod is made base on the request from this thread

index.php?t=108975

This is a crude work so it requires a couple permission settings to get to what you are looking for.

Currently, vb 3.5.x has the forum permission that either allow or disallow member/guests from viewing certain forum. I found out that we could enhance this feature by allowing viewer to browse the contents of these forum. However, they cannot view the content of a thread title. Once they click on the title they are prompt to register.

This hack will work on

printthread

showthread

archive/index.

Upload

bitfield_groupcantreadcontent.xml to includes/xml

request.gif to archive

request.gif to images

Import product through admincp

Permission Setup

1. Forum permission : Allow them the view in whatever way you like
2. Usergroup permission: Leave the Can Read Thread Content to NO
3. Forum Manager : Set the Can Read Thread Content to YES

To disallow guest to view the content

1. Forum permission : Allow them the view in whatever way you like
2. Usergroup permission: Leave the Can Read Thread Content to NO
3. Forum Manager : Set the Can Read Thread Content to NO

I will try to give as much support as my work schedule permitted.
