I checked out the xml... unless I missed something else besides your dependency in the file, why would this not work with previous versions?

[AttalaEA]

Hello,

I would like to know wheather this can work with the attachments too or not?

[nhawk]

It could if it weren't for the way I display the box and CK Editor.

I am working on a version that will work with earlier versions of VB.

[nhawk]

Hello,

I would like to know wheather this can work with the attachments too or not?

Access to attachments are handled directly by vBulletin.

Unless you're talking about external attachments. Then, no it doesn't at this time.

[nhawk]

Updated today to run on older versions of vB 4.

Interestingly, it will also run on vB 3.8 if you remove the dependency from the xml file. ;)

[hexeditor]

On versions 4.1.3 does not work...

[nhawk]

On versions 4.1.3 does not work...

What doesn't work for you?

Works fine for me with 4.1.3. See screenshots attached.

[westbam666]

Thank you, understood.

[blueperspective]

Anyone tested it in 4.1.6 ?
Or anyone would recommend a good hide mod that works on the current version of vB ?!
Thanks.

[blueperspective]

Hum... installed it on 4.1.6, activated but the content is hided even if I'm not in the group mentioned on setting. ( meaning.. I'm the admin and can't see the content. =) )
Suggestions ?

I do not have 4.1.6 installed anywhere, but I just tested it on 4.1.5 P1 and it works without a problem.

Did you include your usergroup to test it at some point? If so, then it's a caching problem with either your browser or your server.

[SamSteve]

How can i put html code in the "[CODE] Message" for example:
<a href="register.php">Register</a> or <a href="login.php">login</a> to view hide content.
thanks!

You can't in the Lite version.

[SamSteve]

You can't in the Lite version.

Thanks, i'm going to buy the pro version!

[SamSteve]

Yeah, i bought it but i can't write in html...

Use the URL BBcode.

But don't both block URLs and put URLs in the message. One will cancel the other out.

Also, questions about premium versions should be asked on my site. People may get confused about what's included in the lite version if they are discussed here.

[SamSteve]

Okey thanks!
It works! ;)

[blueperspective]

Could be the cache.. I think. I'll do some more tests on different browsers.

[Ichigo88]

but he hide for all usergroup i have 4.1.5 i set usergroup 1 but he hide for all

[nhawk]

but he hide for all usergroup i have 4.1.5 i set usergroup 1 but he hide for all

It does not hide for all usergroups. It only hides for the ones you specify.

While the screenshots in this post are from 4.1.3, the same thing still applies for 4.1.5...
https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/showpost.php?p=2242181&postcount=12

The only thing I can suggest is seeing if another mod is interfering with the hider.

I have the same problem on 4.1.7

It's only set to hide links from guests, but it hides them from everyone else.

No other plugins installed. I also tried it with other browsers and it's the same.
I guess something is up after all.

EDIT:

I think I figured out what causes the problem.

I noticed if you have only used one set of code tag, the links are displayed properly and hidden from those specified in the admin option.

The problem occurs when I use more than one code tags, when there are separate coded content in the post.

This is not a problem with BB Code Hider. It is a setting for caching on your site.

Go to ACP->Settings->Options->Server Settings and Optimization Options.

Set Cached Posts Lifespan to 0 (zero).

[dtommy79]

I've tried that too. The problem is still present.

[nhawk]

I've tried that too. The problem is still present.

Well, to be honest I don't know where else to look. That is the only way I can duplicate what is happening to you.

I've tried to duplicate it on 4 totally different servers. And that setting is the only one that causes the problem. As soon as I set that to 0 and refresh the page the problem goes away.

[nhawk]

OK, I think I know what might be happening with this..

Are you posting a new thread with some code, then immediately replying to the thread without leaving the thread?

[nhawk]

It seems I must apologize to everyone that had this problem.

vBulletin itself was caching posts and when they were viewed by people that were allowed to view the code, vBulletin would display what it had in it's cache.

The fix posted today kills the post read from the vBulletin cache so that shouldn't happen any more.

[dtommy79]

Thanks for the quick fix. It seems to work now properly.

Hi, nice plug-in!
I've an issue: the code is visible in the Recent Forum Message CMS widget! How to Hide??
Thank's!

[emperatour]

I get the following warnings on 4.1.6 and the code is still visible:

Warning: Unterminated comment starting line 1 in /home/---/public_html/forum/showthread.php(308) : eval()'d code on line 1

Warning: Unterminated comment starting line 20 in /home/---/public_html/forum/includes/class_bbcode.php(424) : eval()'d code on line 20

I'll have a look to see if the code can be intercepted in that widget or not. For now, the hider doesn't do the CMS widget.

[nhawk]

Do these warning go away if you disable the hider?

I'm asking because it runs fine on 4.1.5 and 4.1.7 with no warnings (I never installed 4.1.6 anywhere).

Yes they go away when I disable the product from plugin manager. But the warnings are still there if I only disable it from BB Code Hider Lite Settings.

I also tested it on another forum (4.1.7) and it works fine. Maybe it is conflicting with another plugin in that 4.1.6 forum?

It does sound like something is conflicting with it.

I triple checked and all of the comments are closed in the hider, so I don't think it's in the hider. Try uninstalling, downloading again and re-installinng. Maybe something went wrong with the install or download.

Also, you could try disabling your other mods one at a time to see if you can locate the conflict. If you do locate it, please let me know which one it is so I can see what the conflict is.

Yes, something was going wrong in importing the product. I checked the plugins content is only this:
/*================================================* \
||################################################ ##
|| # BBCode Hider Lite Version 1.0.1
|| # ----------------------------------------------
|| # Copyright
So, the import of each plugin was being interrupted right before the '?' sign. Replacing all ?s with Cs in xml and solved the issue.
Probably there is something wrong in parsing ? with UTF-8 forums. Mine is in Persian language.

Thanks for your help. Your PM regarding the comment led me to checking the plugin. :)

[kh99]

Hey nhawk, can you explain how you fixed the caching issue? I looked at the code briefly but couldn't see it. Actually, if you can explain how the caching system works that would be cool.

[Sworm]

Hi, Installed and nominated :). Can i know if in the setting message field can be used the script tag?

[nhawk]

LOL, I saw your reply in the other thread and PM'd you..

But for everyone's benefit, it's really quite simple.

This was added to all plugins to kill the cached info..
$parsedtext = '';

To be perfectly honest, I'm still not 100% certain how the built in cache works. I just ran across it while working on something else and spotted a post with 'hidden' code in it and then it hit me what was happening with this mod. By adding the above code, it cancel's out the info read from the cache table.

If you mean you want to attach a URL to the message displayed, not in the lite version.

Hi, it was released vb 4.1.10....

This great hack will still work on the newest vb suite version? thanks

Yes, it is still working with 4.1.10.

I know this is not purpose of this mod, but just to ask, how hard it would be to have mod that disables certain usergroups from using certain BBcodes at all? I know this is a bit off topic here...

Hi, i'm a premium user, can i know if it work on 4.1.11 PL1? Thanks

Yes it does.

[Sworm]

Yes it does.

Thank's, and it work on 4.1.12 too? I need to know before to install the last version. Thanks again

[nhawk]

Thank's, and it work on 4.1.12 too? I need to know before to install the last version. Thanks again

I have not tested it on 4.1.12 yet.

I won't do that for at least 3 weeks to see how stable 4.1.12 is.

[Sworm]

ohh ok i'll wait to upgrade 4.1.12

[davut_c20]

this very good thanks :D

[Merenguista]

It works fine in 4.1.12 .. Thanks ..

[Disco_Stu]

I just installed this mod for 4.1.12 and it's working fine. Marked as installed.

Hi nhawk i have waiting your test on 4.1.12 to install the lastest version of vbulletin.... can i install your great hack without problems on last vb version? Thanks

[nhawk]

This mod works ok for 4.2 but I did notice something that everyone should be aware of:

You can block unregistered users from viewing the code snippet in your post but if they go to the tread listings and place the mouse over the post title it will show the first few lines of the post (6 lines I think) in a little popup . if you placed your code in the first few lines then it will be displayed without being blocked even with this mod.

Don't know if anyone else has noticed this or not. I guess to be safe don't put the code you want blocked in the first few lines of the post.

For now you can also disable the preview by going to ACP->Settings->Options->Forum Display Options (forumdisplay) and setting 'Length of Thread Preview Text' to zero (0).

Also be aware that at this time the activity stream will show code in the first few lines of text.

[Disco_Stu]

thanks for the info...fyi I don't like the activity stream

[nhawk]

thanks for the info...fyi I don't like the activity stream

Here I thought I was the only one that didn't like it.

You can change the behavior of the 'What's New' tab back to it's original operation by going to ACP->Settings->Navigation Manager and changing the Target URL for the 'What's New' tab to ...

search.php?do=getnew&contenttype=vBForum_Post

Then disable the Activity Stream link below the tab name.

[Disco_Stu]

thanks...yeah the activity stream was a bad idea. Others are complaining about it as well.

[nhawk]

I'll have an update for the hider out in a day or so to handle the preview text and the activity stream.

[synseal]

Thank you very much for this!. *Installed.

[Winter Sonata]

Thanks alot, Installed!

[Krusty1231]

I wonder if you could tell me if I can add a clickable link in the tag?

For example, I use this mod to hide links, and in it's place I have "please register to view links!"

Is it possible to make that part clickable to the register page?

I think I read through the thread here, and believe the paid version does this.

I could use confirmation before I purchase.

Thanks

I bought this from you. I just read the pro version is no longer available. I get that, but am wondering if the last update was 1.0.8 as I have it?

On your site it asks me to register - even tho I am logged in - and I can't see where to make sure I have the latest version before this goes kaput!

Thanks.
