A plugin to allow members to hide posts from guests.

[Emperor Martin]

My forum is partially dedicated to writing, and I'd like to give my members the option to hide their posts from guests. Is there a plugin that would allow that? I don't want to set the boards to members-only, just in case some others want their works to be more easily available.

A plugin wouldn't be able to hide posts from guests. I would look to the more advanced features of proboards to see if anyone has an alternative solution.

You could also use the Post List layout template for this. Go to your admin panel and navigate to Themes > Layout Templates > Thread > Post List (tab) and replace everything in it with this:

{foreach $[post]}

{if $[post.edited.reason] != "noguests"}

<tr id="$[post.content_id]" class="$[post.content_class]{if $[post.even]} even{/if}{if $[viewing_recent_posts]} recent{/if}">

<td class="$[post.unblocked_class]">

<table role="grid">

<tr>

<td class="left-panel" rowspan="2">

$[post.created_by.miniprofile]

</td>

<td class="content">

<article>

<div class="content-head ui-helper-clearfix">

<div class="info">

$[post.thread]

<span class="date">$[post.created_on]</span>

{if $[post.how_posted]}

<span class="post-method">via $[post.how_posted]</span>

{/if}

$[post.likes]

</div>

<div class="controls">

                                   <button type = "button" class = "speed-tag-button">SpeedTag!</button>

$[post.quote_button]

$[post.edit_button]

$[post.likes.button]

$[post.select_options]

</div>

</div>

<h3 class="title aria-hidden">Post by $[post.created_by.name] on $[post.created_on]</h3>

<div class="message">$[post.message]</div>

</article>

</td>

</tr>

<tr>

<td class="foot">

{if $[post.edited]}

<div class="edited_by"><span class="italic">Last Edit:</span> $[post.edited.date] by $[post.edited.by_user]{if $[post.edited.reason]}: $[post.edited.reason]{/if}</div>

{/if}

{if $[post.created_by.signature]}

<div class="signature">$[post.created_by.signature]</div>

{/if}

</td>

</tr>

</table>

</td>

{if $[post.is_blocked]}

<td class="$[post.blocked_class] content center">

<div class="message note pad-bottom">This post is hidden</div>

$[post.display_blocked_post_button]

</td>

{/if}

</tr>

{/if}

{/foreach}

{if !$[post]}

<tr class="last"><td class="last center" colspan="1">No posts were found.</td></tr>

{/if}
You'll notice this line: {if $[post.edited.reason] != "noguests"}
meaning, yes your users will need to edit their posts and add the text "noguests" as the edit reason (without the quotes) but it is a really hacky way to do this and it won't apply to the mobile version either.

support.proboards.com/post/7021460 could use this and ask todge to adapt to your need if he can. This is as close as it gets. Sorry

This seems a little clunky and a bit of work.  Ulises's solution would seem to be the better route.

I replaced the codes in the Post List tab with the codes from Ulises' post, it's not working. What am I missing?

As soon as I edited the post with the reason noguests, the post disappeared even though I'm still logging in.

Try this:

{foreach $[post]}

{if $[post.edited.reason] == "noguests" && $[current_user.is_guest]}

       {else}

       <tr id="$[post.content_id]" class="$[post.content_class]{if $[post.even]} even{/if}{if $[viewing_recent_posts]} recent{/if}">

{if $[post.how_posted]}

$[post.select_options]

</div>

</div>

<h3 class="title aria-hidden">Post by $[post.created_by.name] on $[post.created_on]</h3>

<div class="message">$[post.message]</div>

</article>

</td>

</tr>

<tr>

<td class="foot">

{if $[post.edited]}

<div class="edited_by"><span class="italic">Last Edit:</span> $[post.edited.date] by $[post.edited.by_user]{if $[post.edited.reason]}: $[post.edited.reason]{/if}</div>

{/if}

{if $[post.created_by.signature]}

<div class="signature">$[post.created_by.signature]</div>

{/if}

</td>

</tr>

</table>

</td>

{if $[post.is_blocked]}

<td class="$[post.blocked_class] content center">

<div class="message note pad-bottom">This post is hidden</div>

$[post.display_blocked_post_button]

</td>

{/if}

</tr>

{/if}

{/foreach}

{if !$[post]}

<tr class="last"><td class="last center" colspan="1">No posts were found.</td></tr>

{/if}

This checks to see if the post edited reason does equal "noguest" AND the current user is a guest. If both are true, then the post isn't displayed. Otherwise, the {else} clause will display the post.

Ulises's code didn't take into account (that I can tell) if the person viewing the post was a member or guest. I'm not the best at template mods, so I could be way off the mark on that.

MSG,
The new codes you provided work. Thanks so much. However, what is the purpose of SpeedTag! button? I click on the button but do not see any new change as I don't know what it's for. I commented out this line for SpeedTag! button until someone helps me understand what it's for.

<button type = "button" class = "speed-tag-button">SpeedTag!</button>
