Hey there,

This hack gives your users (or certain user groups such as Mod/Admins etc.) ability to switch visibility mode easily and quickly.

After applying the hack, there appears a text link "Be (In)Visible" in your main page next to "Log Out" and by clicking the link you can change your visibility status. So you dont need to go to your user cp and update the profile from there anymore.

I was already planning to code it for sometime and the request in this thread (https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/showthread.php?s=&threadid=37856) rushed me. :)

This is an easy to apply hack (~10 mins.) and it would probably work with all (>2.x.x) vbulletin versions..

Enjoy..

I dont think we need a screenshot, do we?

After applying the hack you will have a text link called "Be Visible" near "Log Out" in your main page. If you are already visible, link will be "Be Invisible". (BTW guests wont see these links)

Anyway here is a screenshot. Although it's not English, you'll get the idea..

Logician,

I have the Welcome Panel installed and I can't get the link to show up on the forum main page. I checked the code over and it is installed as per your instructions. Any ideas on this one? :)

Change the location of the hack code in step 2. eg. try putting the code after


require('./global.php');

in index.php.. I guess it will work then..

I must have one of those boards where nothing wants to work right the first couple of times. It still isn't working after making the change.. :)

What would I need to change if I wanted the link to invisible/visible to appear in my Header?

in step 2 add the code to global.php before line:
eval("\$header .= \"".gettemplate('header')."\";");

Good job man, but can you upgrade it to vb2.3.0?should be already working with 2.3.0
