Fast(in)visible v1.1

[efc9]

This hack doesn't work and has been removed.

[brvheart]

nice *install* :)

[lovelypk]

cool mod.

[brvheart]

I would make one change....I would make the navbar edit reversed meaning:

Have it say the status of what you are IE.

Currently if you are visible it says invisible then you click it and it changes to visible

I would have it say visible when you are visible then click it to change yourself to invisible and it would then state that you are invisible

make sense?

[efc9]

hmmm.. I did ask my members on that and they felt (in the majority) that having the link saying what it'd do was better..

you can easily change this for yourself though by editing the "Fast(in)visible v1" global_start plugin and..

change:
if ($vbulletin->userinfo['invisible']) {$fastinvisible='<a href="'.$vbulletin->options['bburl'].'/misc.php?do=visible">Go Visible</a>';}
else {$fastinvisible='<a href="'.$vbulletin->options['bburl'].'/misc.php?do=invisible">Go Invisible</a>';}

to:
if ($vbulletin->userinfo['invisible']) {$fastinvisible='<a href="'.$vbulletin->options['bburl'].'/misc.php?do=visible">You are Invisible</a>';}
else {$fastinvisible='<a href="'.$vbulletin->options['bburl'].'/misc.php?do=invisible">You are Visible</a>';}

thank you :)

Thanks for this, but I get a database error if clicking on visible or invisible:
Database error in vBulletin 3.6.4:

Invalid SQL:
UPDATE user SET options=options + 512 WHERE options & 512 AND userid=1;

MySQL Error : Table 'db156670001.user' doesn't exist
Error Number : 1146
And if using cmps it's pointing to www.mydomain.com/misc.php instead of www.mydomain.com/forum/misc.php even if I put "misc.php" into the navbar replacement menue on the vbacmps acp settings.

Clever idea, nice work.

do you have a table prefix? I've just noticed looking at that error it's not setup for table prefixs..

also the cmps error is probably due to the link being dynamic.. hmm don't use cmps myself but will edit it to see if I can fix these problems..

Clever idea, nice work.
Thanks, I really appreciate the compliment :)

I have installed the plugin (and upgraded today) but I'm having problems with it. The modification seems to have changed my User CP settings in other ways:

- Threads are now sorted newest first (I always had them oldest post first)
- Coppa warnings have appeared (I had it disabled)
- Worst of all, when I visit my User CP, the page gets stuck in a loop: Updating DST...
- When I try to save any option, nothing happens (including changing to visible / invisible).

I'd appreciate any help!

[brvheart]

Updated I like the text better :) well done efc9 :)

I've not experienced any of these issues in my own testings.. but the hack does work by changing the options so I guess it could cause these errors, could you pm me your site url, and test account details and I'll look into the problem more for you..

Thanks :)

I am already using a hack like this but the 1 i use, uses the online and invisible icons, see images :)

[Snake]

Very nice! :)

I personally feel the large image unbalances the navbar there, but well whatever works for you bud.. I'm semi certain the hack you use though wasn't released here so I don't feel I'm stepping on toes..

[bashy]

Hi m8 yeah it was released here, bit i think it was 3.5, i tried a search but cannot find it now lol,

Ain't that always the way.. I do wish there was a better way to search the hacks here..

[brvheart]

well if you installed it and clicked install....you can view your installed hacks via the quick links.... ;) then you dont have to search :D

[efc9]

true, that's an easy way to find hacks.. again..

but sometimes finding them in the first place can be a problem, the search keywords seem very hit and miss..

Now it's fine, thanks a lot, yes was the table prefix.

[stomph]

Thank you!

Great.. It's always something I forget about :( but oh well least it got fixed in the end..

Thank you!
Thanks, it's a simple thank you that makes the time spent creating and fixing the hack worthwhile..

Installed this the other day. Only Staff can use the invisible option at my forum. Since installing this, random staff members who have clicked the Go Visible / Invisible link have had their "Enable Private Messages" option randomly disabled in their User CP. I suspect this mod may be causing that, anyone else having the same problem?

I am going to try disabling this and see if the problem continues.

Confirmed that if you click Go Invisble / Visible enough times, it actually changed the state of my receive PM option. And it also changed the state of my PM Email notification. I have that turned off normally, as I get a lot of PMs and am on the site often enough that I don't need email notification of PMs. Clicking the Fast Invisible link a bunch of times enabled email notifications. It seems that the hack is bumping into other options when changing the invisibility option.

*clicks uninstall for now.

You having a giraffe? I have well over 200 hacks/mods installed pmsl...

Same story here...changed my PM options...unfortunately has to click uninstall.:erm:

[alfaowner]

Same for me too! I didnt get as far as clicking install :(

[denyil]

Yeah. it causes to change the PM options. I think there is a mistake to calculating the number of 512. It should be something else.

[PinkDaisy]

I'm having it change my options to, I may consider to uninstall til' there is a fix for this since my members are famous for asking questions.
