Limited Guest Viewing Pro - Boost Registrations [Paid] v1.9.21

[PhineasD]

Note, it's fixed. Just realize that one of the breadcrumbs seems like a Thread List link, but it's actually just an anchor link to the homepage and therefore won't be counted.

Just a heads up

With this latest update it's counting the homepage as view, however I don't have it checked in the options.

For example, if I limit only 1 view for the image configuration, registration is forced upon entering a node (first view), not upon entering a node thread (which would be the second view to count).

1 - homepage (1 view)
2 - node list (real 1st view and it' forced)
3 - thread (real 2nd view)

 

[Wutime]

Yes.

Ok, I'll look to update in a future release. I'm planning to re-organize and change the layout of the charts anyways.

 

[Wutime]

1 - homepage (1 view)
2 - node list (real 1st view and it' forced)
3 - thread (real 2nd view)

Arg. Okay. I thought I had it right.

 

[Wutime]

1 - homepage (1 view)
2 - node list (real 1st view and it' forced)
3 - thread (real 2nd view)

Here's a video. It's working as designed as of v1.9.3.

Note, at the end of the video it cut off when I said "As far as I'm concerned this is working as designed".

In that case it will work correctly.

Could you try with 1 single display of thread list, threads and tags to force registration? If I try to do it in my forum by accessing it from the homepage, it does not allow me to access a node, when I understand that it is the first display and it should allow it.

Should be good so I'm done messing around with tiny settings. If you're using 1 view, or similar, why not just make your entire forum private to visitors?

That configuration may be ok for you, but each buyer will have their own needs.

If I make the forum private as you propose, Google cannot index it.

Roger that. I'll figure out why the redirection isn't firing immediately, if that's the case.

What's the settings you use, I know you use 2 for force, do you use 0 or 1 for the. notice? Curious for testing:

My configuration is:

 

[Wutime]

With 0 and 1, it works for me... I enter on the homepage, I visit a thread list page, it shows 0 guest views remaining, soon as I click on an actual thread, it immediately forwards me to registration.

I tested in both XF 2.2+ and XF 2.3

Works perfectly.

Please ensure you're using a fresh Incognito. Also ensure you're not actually clicking any breadcrumbs that visit the homepage, that includes the #anchor links in the URL (it's still technically the homepage, which, by using your settings, does NOT count as a view).

 

[Wutime]

Note, if it's imperative that visitors visit pages, but not actually see content, BUT, you need Google to crawl and index, you might consider using LGV in combination with Blur: https://xenforo.com/community/resources/increase-registrations-by-blurring-post-text.7544/

Blur makes sure content is hidden, but has the appearance of being visible.

After updating to 1.9.6, "$xf.session.wutime_lgv_views" (not the template, but the actual string, including the "$") appears at the top of every page, above notices and below the navbar.

Ah, apologies, I fixed that and re-uploaded the ZIP.

You must have downloaded within minutes of the original upload.

Can you re-download and re-install checking "Overwrite existing files for add-on rebuilds / upgrades".

 

[Wutime]

Actually, just to be sure, I just re-uploaded the updated v1.9.6 right now.

It seems to work now.
FYI, install/upgrade from archive is disabled by default. It requires accepting a warning and a config file edit. Is simply re-uploading the files and using the 'rebuild' option equivalent to this?

Yes, re-uploading is fine. I just assumed you use the upload installer because it's so convenient.
