I need a workaround for custom styles

missing text in my postbit, I can only see the "@"

same issue as with your mod tagged users mod, nothing visible

only works in default stlye for me

edit: not necessary, found it

[Kraxell]

Possible to add usergroups or more users? Maybe for moderation "Take a look at this user!" :D

[Lustikus]

my members told me that this mod does not work with mobile defices, tapatalk and so on...
everything is visible?

Can admins/mods still see the messages?

Yep, that is the problem with vb4. Different devices have different presentation code. It gets a bit difficult to write a mod for a modern web environment. Some interfaces use the API, some use the vb mobile code and then there is the regular desktop presentation view. It is why there is a need for a vb5. Same presentation code, but different views -- all through the same developers API.

It could be something we could add in... nice idea. :)

It may well have issues with TapaTalk. I'll take a look at what we can do to stop it showing in some way. It's been tricky integrating the BBCode properly as it has some inherent limitations. A few ideas to try though. Will keep you posted. Thanks for highlighting the issues. :)

No, not at the moment. :)

I am just commenting on why it probably does not work on this wonderful free first version 1.0 of dbtechs code. I haven't used Tapatalk since we have our own mobile interface. How does it interface to vbulletins code?

Hear, hear! vB5 has a lot of potential. Been fun to start learning to code in it as well. :) Not quite sure personally how they all integrate... (TapaTalk and ForumRunner), but will see what we can do about it. :)

Is this working better at all now?

[aouni_tahech]

Looking forward to see enable / disable per usergroup :)

Plus, I have a suggestion, which is to notify the tagged user through the notification panel with a link to the post which he's tagged in.

Possible?

Thanks!

[DragonByte Tech]

The notification has been mentioned before. I'll see what we can do about including it in the next major update. I've got a couple of fixes I need to sort out soon, and once I've completed a couple of other tasks, I'll look into it again. :)

This seems to be quite interesting. Will this also hide messages within archive and Tapatalk? Just making sure, as the other "hide" mod here on vb.org refuses to work with tapatalk and it shows the message(s) regardless.

[DragonByte Tech]

This should keep all messages hidden as they are stored separate to posts in the database and only inserted when necessary. It's not possible to edit or write new posts containing hidden text in Tapatalk, it get's stripped out.

I can't get this to work at all, even on the default theme. All I see is @: in the post

[harismoghal]

missing text in my postbit, I can only see the "@"
and when I edit my post all the content of {option} and {param} is gone
using VB 4.2.2

[DragonByte Tech]

Sorry for the delay guys, only just found you'd messaged here... seems to have been a delay in me getting the notification.

I'll take a look into what might be causing the issue and get back to you both.

Same here.. would be nice to have a fix for this.

[Skyrider]

Almost 2 weeks since your last post regarding this issue, any updates? Whenever I for example use:

This text will be hidden to all users other than me!

It looks like @: in a post, and when I edit it I see:

[DragonByte Tech]

I've not yet found a reason for the issue. Is it possible to take a look at your board?

Thanks as always to everyone for their feedback and suggestions.

Additional feature suggestions:
- PM in posts @ Entire Usergroup(s).

- Limit use of this BB code on a per forum & usergroup basis.
^ I think this Mod would be pretty useful, if only Moderators were allowed to use it.

- Make X users and/or usergroups immune on a per forum & usergroup basis.
So basically, that user/usergroup should be able to see the full post regardless.

Unfortunately we are unable to take feature requests from vBulletin.org, would it be possible for you to re-post these in separate threads @ our site?

That way, they are entered into our system and we can revisit them in the future :)

Thanks!

[IggyP]

noticed an issue recently with this where editing a post breaks the code...changes username to user id#....also removes the private content and replaces it with a number...

[Duke49th]

Seems like I have the parsing error.

It shows just the @: and when I edit post it becomes this
