This is a simple template modification which will show the first post only to guests and hide the rest and show them a message instead. Which you can alter to fit your needs. At the message template replace all the code in there with the following code: PHP: <xen:require css="message.css" /><xen:require css="bb_code.css" /><li id="{$messageId}" class="message{xen:if $message.isDeleted, ' deleted'}{xen:if '{$message.is_admin} OR {$message.is_moderator}', ' staff'}" data-author="{$message.username}"> <xen:include template="message_user_info"> <xen:map from="$message" to="$user" /> </xen:include> <div class="messageInfo"> <br /><br /> <xen:if is="!{$visitor.user_id} && !{$post.isFirst}"> <p class="importantMessage">Hello there guest. Please <a href="{xen:link 'register/'}">Register</a> or <a href="{xen:link 'login/'}">login</a> to view the posts!</p> <xen:else /> <xen:if is="{$message.isNew}"><span class="newIndicator"><span></span>{xen:phrase new}</span></xen:if> <xen:if hascontent="true"> <ul class="messageNotices"> <xen:contentcheck> <xen:if is="{$message.isDeleted}"> <li class="deletedNotice">{xen:phrase this_message_has_been_removed_from_public_view}</li> <xen:elseif is="{$message.isModerated}" /> <li class="moderatedNotice">{xen:phrase this_message_is_awaiting_moderator_approval_and_is_invisible_to_normal}</li> </xen:if> </xen:contentcheck> </ul> </xen:if> <div class="messageContent"> <article><blockquote class="messageText ugc baseHtml">{xen:raw $message.messageHtml}</blockquote></article> {xen:raw $messageContentAfterTemplate} </div> </xen:if> <xen:if is="{$visitor.content_show_signature} && {$message.signature}"> <div class="baseHtml signature ugc"><aside>{xen:raw $message.signatureHtml}</aside></div> </xen:if> {xen:raw $messageAfterTemplate} <div id="likes-{$messageId}"><xen:if is="{$message.likes}"><xen:include template="likes_summary" /></xen:if></div> </div> </li>
