Guest Posting for XenForo 2.x by AddonsLab 1.8.0

This release fixes a SEO-related issue. From this version, guest posting will not be enabled if we detect the guest to be a search engine bot. The links to create a thread and reply to a thread will not be shown to Google and other search engines anymore, but if these links have been already indexed they may still be shown in the Dashboard. They will be removed as soon as the search engine re-indexes your pages.

This version implements a new option to keep guest-posted content instead of removing it automatically. This option is useful for the boards, that get useful guest content but have high rate of users not ending up with registration and email confirmation. If the option is enabled, admins gets full control over the content posted, see it in the moderation queue in in forum/thread as a moderated post and can approve it manually instead of waiting for users to register. If an admin approves a thread/post and the user ends up registering later, the content is just associated with user's account.

The version also fixes a bug with guest threads/posts being visible to admins instead of being hidden completely until the guest registers. Another bug was introduced in a recent update making it impossible for admins to disable thread and reply posting, so it would remain enabled by default even if the checkbox in product options is unchecked.

This is a bug-fix version which solves the issue with some guest messages disappearing from the moderation queue. The issue would happen when a post/thread by a guest is put for moderation by XenForo system, due to forum settings or anti-spam check. Now, these posts will appear in the moderation queue as soon as the user registers/logs in.

Thank you!

This is a bug-fix release that solves a PHP error occasionally logged in Server Errors. We have also reproduced an issue with publishing the post made by a guest in case the guest logs in after creating the thread instead of registering.

In this release, we have enhanced the product to use "Banned Emails" list automatically to disallow quick registration using these emails. The product still provides another option to ban emails specifically for quick registration, in case you don't want to ban that emails for registration in general.

Hello everyone,

In this version, we have removed the redundant "Name" field when a guest creates a reply/thread. The username field was not used anywhere and the user was asked to enter the username during registration. We have also reproduced a bug, which would cause the quick registration workflow not to work via full reply interface but would work via quick reply only.

We have also implemented an option for admins to disallow some email domains to be used during quick registration. Users will get an error message if they try to use an email from that email providers.
