[hide] hack

[ja3]

Adds code to your forum to hide the text until an user replied to the topic.

The XML is the new version, ZIP is the old version.

XML contains the product Hide Hack.

Install:
- Just use the products system in vbulletin.

Bugs:
Please report them in my PM or in topic if not so important.

Known bugs in B2:
- Only 1 hide tag per post.

[womensden]

Just curious...

What would this be used for?

[flup]

To hide text untill users have reply'd I think.

If so, it's very usefull, since the current hide hacks work on an amount of posts.

[akanevsky]

Umm... My hack for 3.0.7 already uses the [hide] tag... Maybe it would be easier to change your tag to something ? Or else it would have to be done when I upgrade my hack to 3.5...

Plus, if I were you, I'd make it a mod of an existing hack, instead of a whole new one.

[flup]

I see no need to change his tags.

Since I think noone would see the need to have a hide till reply AND a hide with x posts.

And thereby he can choose his own tags.

//edit;

I've got yours installed btw :)

Well, I kinda figured that....

What I'm saying is Why would you want to?

Not being critical, just asking what kind of uses this would be for?

[mholtum]

So I have to install the style and then the plugin? Forgive me, I am a noob at plugin hacks. Will the hide feature only work in the style you provided?

[akanevsky]

I see no need to change his tags.

Since I think noone would see the need to have a hide till reply AND a hide with x posts.

Yes, but the vB engine can only parse a certain tag in one certain way. So a hide can either work for no reply hide or for X post hide - and that depends solely on which one of the hacks is installed. Unless these are two diff tags, the two hacks are not compatible.

[tinjon]

hey guys, a little more info on how to install it? :) i mean, i can install it but what's the use of the style file?
thanks.

[ja3]

I will add a readme tomorrow :)

[Cap'n Steve]

Well, I kinda figured that....

It's mainly used for pirate forums, although I'm not really sure how it helps them keep secrets. I've seen it used on legitimate sites for people posting links, but I never understood that either, as the thread quickly becomes nothing but one word replies from people wondering what the link is. :ermm:

Oh well, thanks for the hack.

[pauloo]

Thanks ! work's fine

They use it to prevent people from being leechers only.

You've probably seen the messages like LEECH = REPLY

Just to get the forums active instead of leeching only. :)

[tinjon]

not working for me.

[Cap'n Steve]

Just to get the forums active instead of leeching only. :)

I know that's the idea but every forum I've ever seen it used on ends up with about 20 pages of people posting "Thanks". If you can make it generate useful discussion, more power to you, though. ;)

[Dean C]

Thankyou for sharing your work with the community ja3 :)

Is there a way to make this work for older posts?

I need a [hide] tag. Not everyone uses it and I couldn't possibly force people to reply to every thread.

[MentaL]

tags still appear ;(

[tinjon]

tags still appear ;(Yup. I have the same exact problem.

[MentaL]

Yup. I have the same exact problem.
im beta 3.. are you?

[tinjon]

yeah. i'm using beta 3 as well, but i tested it on beta 2, didnt' work.

[Markano]

Can you see the hidden content when you quote somebody

[SlaPPiE]

The tag works for me initially, but upon edit, the tags appear.

[tinjon]

this is such an useful hack, i hope the author will update/fix the problems. *sigh*

[ja3]

I will check it out soon :D with the latest beta

[ryne661]

How do you install the plugin?

[Biker_GA]

Well, I kinda figured that....

What I'm saying is Why would you want to?

Not being critical, just asking what kind of uses this would be for?

We post, from time to time, questions that we ask our users. Being able to put the answer in there as well, but hide it, would be pretty slick.

For example:

Recent research has indicated that grass grows faster when:
1. You just leave it alone
2. Mow that puppy down to the dirt
3. Miracle Grow, man!
4. All of the above

Then hide the real answer along with the source. :)

[SomeName]

Nice! I'll be coming back for this when we upgrade to 3.5 on our site.

It'll be useful for posting organization history mini-quizzes for our members.

Thanks for sharing!

[cuphongle]

how do u install the plug in?
can someone help?

[tinjon]

is it working for RC-1? anyone?

[p_sprei]

hi
i got a problem with existing posts in my Board with hide hack implemented a few minutes ago

the existing threads, that contain the hide tag from vBulletin 3.0.7, would be readable without answering to the thread.
the hidden information is not in a "box" how it is at new posts.

please help quickly
thank you

PS: I user release candidate 1

edit:
if i reply to a thread with quick reply, than i must press f5 else the hidden text comes to show.

[Sleepyk]

will this work with RC2?

why sshould he change his i think you should change yours since he did his first for 3.50 first comes first serve you should of thought about that before he posted his and made a hack to do yours

[Sleepyk]

anyone?

[Sleepyk]

forget it ima add it see if it works

[tomshawk]

Just curious...

What would this be used for?

Maybe this will give you a better idea of a good use for this.

At my site, Tech-Unity
The site is mostly for people studying for a Computer/Networking Certification

I am provided questions by a few well known companys, Transcender, Redmond Exams, StudyExam4Less.

I post questions once a week, around 8 to 10.
when people reply to the question with whatever they think the answer is, they put it in this hide hack.
The next person coming into the thread cannot see his answer until (s)he replies, basically keeping human curiousity (some may say cheating) down to a minimum. I also have the spoiler tag set up for people that want to give users a hint (but not the answer).

at the end of the week I post the correct answers.

Granted this isn't perfect because people could reply with anything, just to look at the other guys answer then edit there post to put the correct answer, but, I have to use an honor system at least. :p

Example (http://www.tech-unity.com/forums/thread1382.html)

Anyway, I hope that gives you a better idea, as to why you would use this. ;)

[Sleepyk]

didnt work >.<

[Wordplay]

i can't get it to work, i installed it just as explained but it doesn't work. when i enter [ hide ] [ / hide ] (without the spaces it says just that and nothing else).

[mikey86]

will this work with RC2?
Yes, this works with RC 2

[Sleepyk]

^isnt working for me then?

anything i have to do besides what it says in file pack?

[tinjon]

hey mikey, where is it working? i really would like to see. why is that so many people can't get it to work? i wonder....

[mikey86]

i have it working on RC2 but like he says, he still has to add the part where it automaticly refreshes the page after a quick reply is made, but other than that it works. although mine was an upgrade from 3.0.8

[Xplorer4x4]

I can get this hack to wrok...then other times I can;t. Haven;t quite figuered out the pattern yet. The author hasn't been on since July...maybe somone else can come up with an altrenative?

[Sleepyk]

^isnt working for me then?

anything i have to do besides what it says in file pack?
as said...

[Xplorer4x4]

For those of you having problems, did you upload the vbulletin-style.xml file in the skin manger and merge it into your skins?

I missed that part and it seems to be working just fine now.

Oh and another forum I visit has been using this for awhile. Sometimes the code does not reveal, but if you exit the thread and then re-enter the thread that should work.

[Xplorer4x4]

Although I am having a probelm with the link phrasing. When people reply the link turns from being an active link like www.vbulletin.org (http://www.vbulletin.org/) to [url=www.vbulletin.org]www.vbulletin.org[/url ]

Minus the psace on the end. ;)

Anyone else experiencing that problem? One more question, anyone looked into making it refresh after the quick reply? If not I'll probly have to disable quick reply in the section where hide code is used.

I beg your pardon. but I am not familiar with this. What do you mean by "in the skin man(a)ger and .... "

Thank?s

[Xplorer4x4]

I beg your pardon. but I am not familiar with this. What do you mean by "in the skin man(a)ger and .... "

Thank?s

See my screen shot. I made a mistake. You want the upload/download styles menu. About the middle of that page(once you have click the upload/download styles link) you will see the only "Browse" button on your screen. Slick that and upload the XML file atached ot this thread called: vbulletin-style

That should HELP but a few things i have noticed :
A) I can not add any text after the tags.
B) There should be no space between the tags and the text/link inside the tags. C) If I add text inside the tags I have to make sure there is not a space at the end of the line.
D)Links will often unphrase thereselves, such as www.yousite.com (http://www.yousite.com/) will become [url=www.yousite.com]www.yoursite.com[/url ]

[Bill1970]

Thank you very much for your quick response !

[Xplorer4x4]

Glad to be of help.

[Sleepyk]

ok so in otherwords this is majorly buggy and should not be used

[adielsh]

User's can see the text in thread preview and in the search
can you fix it?

[tinjon]

i guess the author doesn't care. *sigh*
i really hope there will be an alternative to this great modification. :ermm:

[Xplorer4x4]

Actually this hack is still in it's beta stage so yes there are bound to be bugs. However if you follow the bassic prinicplaes I outlined above this will work great. Sure it is a pain to follow the prinicplaes i set above, but it is not by any means difficult.

[sajjid]

perfect mate

[sajjid]

can you make so it forces people register rather then reply because i feel lot of people will make two word post to just see the content.

[Xplorer4x4]

Adjust the permision masks so guests can not view/post threads depnding on your preferences.

Then make a rule people must say Thank You or what ever you want them to say when they reply. If they don't warn them..and eventually ban them if not.

[Sleepyk]

make them contribute

[Xplorer4x4]

Just another small thing i noticed is that if you add text above the hide codes it will work fine. But if you add text after the hide tags they will nto work properley.

[Andreas]

This Hack must be optimized!

- It adds 1 Query/Post ... really bad when you show 40 Posts/Page and every Post contains [hide] Tags.
- Templates are not cached

There's also the issue of it not refreshing after you quickreply, you have to reload the page manually. Think you can help us out and make an updated version since the guy who created it hasn't been around for a while? It'd definitly be appreciated.

i'm dying to have this hack. *sigh*

[cherieann]

same here. but if it's broken i hope somebody makes an alternative :)

would love to use this as well.

[Makaveli105]

good hack - few problems

it doesn't hide information that was previously hidden by the same [hide] code

and if users put their mouse over the thread in the forumdisplay they can see the hidden content. there was a hide hack for 3.0.x that was great, it did everything you could possibly want from a hide hack.

[Mathiau]

this sucker work on RC3?

i think incombination with a min. word hack it can be useful.

[KoC]

This Hide Hack has a bug. When you want to hide anything the [HIDE] Tag must at the bottom of the Message. The Mesages whith HIDES before you updatet to 3.5 must be editet.

[ManagerJosh]

Just curious...

What would this be used for?

whoa... someone actually released a lockdown hack :|

This does work in RC3, but the same glitches that I reported earlier reply. Here they are again:

B) There should be no space between the tags and the text/link inside the tags. C) If I add text inside the tags I have to make sure there is not a space at the end of the line.
D)Must refresh after quick reply in order to reveal hidden text/link.
E)When switching to threaded or hybrid thread modes, it does not reveal either.
F)Links will often unphrase thereselves, such as www.yousite.com (http://www.yousite.com/) will become [url=www.yousite.com]www.yoursite.com[/url ] The best way to avoid that is by making it a non-active link.

How to change text hide to img hide?? http://www.t-warez.com/hidden.png

You need to fidn the template called bbcode_hide_noaccess. Edit it and you will see the text that says "You have no access to view this message ", just replace that with a hyperterminal IMG tag.

Hi, as usually :nervous: I?m not familiar with this "hypterterminal IMG tag" thing. Perhaps it?s possible for someone to give me - as a newbie :o - an example code.

Thank you very much.

There ya go! Just edit the template mentioned above, and it should work. However, I have not tried an image yet, only replaced it with my own text.

excelent mod man :P

[Xplorer4x4]

@Bill1970, no porblem. I am glad you brought it up. I wanted to change the text of the code myself because I was tiered of having to answering PMs asking why they do not have permision. And since you brought it up, I did some analyzing and well the rest was history.

@Kirby, I don;t knwo that this would be a huge fix, but it's over my head. An updated version would be nice.

this ia a great addon.. :)

is it compatible with vb 3.5 gold..

thanx~

Yip .. it's running on my 3.5.0 gold without any problems ....

But I've little question: How can I add a button like this http://www.busepa.de/vb35/images/editor/hide.gif to my editor? :o

http://www.mr-goodbyte.de/greetz.png

[azmi]

i have problems with the final now.
it hides a text, but nothing to see with an answer :ermm:

@MrGoodbyte
add a new vbcode
title:hide
tag: HIDE
code: Text
add a picture with the URL you want

[Makaveli105]

^^^if your saying when you reply you still cant see the hiddent content, your probably using quick reply right. well 3.5's quickreply doesnt refresh the page, so reply, and refresh, and you'll see it :)

[betablue]

This "hide untill reply is posted" hack is very useful - I am sure, however could somebody change it, so the hidden text is only visible to certain primary/secondary usergroups?
This could be used in scenario, where users subscribe/upgrade to some level and VB adds them to some primary/secondary group. With that in place full content of the post would be revealed instedad of a "teaser" visible to the rest. (registered user, guests, whatever)?

What do you think of that idea - would that be usefull to anybody, but me?

[akanevsky]

however could somebody change it, so the hidden text is only visible to certain primary/secondary usergroups?

That'd be my hide hack, it features hiding text by usergroup (e.g. showing only to certain usergroups)... link's in my profile.

[MarsNIIT]

Hello,

I've tested this hack with VB 3.5.1 and sometimes it works fine. But we've some problems with the old post (vB 3.0.7)

Sometimes when you open a thread where the hide-hack is, you can see the text without reply. But this is only at hide-tags, where we use the code-tag or the url-tag.

I hope you understand my problem and my bad english ;-)

sincerly Mr.T

sincerly Mr.T

i'm curious when this problem happened are you viewing it through admin side? if so create a test user and log in through the test user to see if it works, you as a admin will see but not the others..try that out :rolleyes:

[Mr.T]

I thought without edditing the plugin, nobody can see the hidden-text without replying.

And our users told me, that the hide did not work correctly. So, it is not a problem with my Admin-Account.

[Makaveli105]

Are you placing the hide code at the bottom of your post? Make sure there is no text below your hide tags

[L-Mane]

This isn't working for the current one. It doesn't hide at all.

[Mr.T]

Hmmm. Does this hack only work, when the hide is the last text in the post?
Because in the version of this hack for vB 3.0.7 it doesn't matter, if the hidden-text is the last in the post or not. How can I change this. I need this hack, because we used this hack in 3.0.7 and without we can't make an update.

T

[Makaveli105]

this hack will not work like the one u used in 3.0.7. if you need that hack, you will have to purchase a style from vbstyles.com. then you will have access to download the hide hack

@ja3 Have you ever used Miko's Version of the hide hack? In my opinion it is the best hide hack out. I can send you a beta release of it for 3.5.x and you could work on it,as miko doesn't support the hack anymore. The good thing about miko's hide hack is you can set certain usergroups to not have to reply to the post in order to see the hidden content,and also only allowing specified forums to be able to use the hide hack. You can pm me if your interested in looking through the coding of it. It also does it with attachments aswell,The reason it does need worked on is because it is still in beta, but you could possibly incorporate it into your hack and it would most likely solve most of the problems.Pm Me if interested!

[BiReL41r]

Maybe this could be used for the Recycle Bin hack???

You might want to watchout for this invitation. Miko only allows me to release that hack under customer's forum, under Miko's site. Even though it wasn't supported by Miko, it still carries his copyright. I rewrite his hack for Vb3.5 with his approval.

[Replicators]

Then could you make miko's hide hack compatible with 3.5.2? I have tried it on 3.5.2 and it didn't work right.

[Smiry Kin's]

anyway to make it so user has to click thank you button??

[cuphongle]

anyway to make it so that certain usergroup doesnt have to reply to see it?

[Smiry Kin's]

Yes its

- , where ? stand for the amount of posts a person must have to be able to read the content within
- , where ? stand for the usergroupids, separated by commas, which may view the content

if not then another version does.

[JsnakeJ]

Not with this hack. Thats for the other one.

[YOimYO]

is there a way to make it auto move the hidden content to the bottom ?

[YOimYO]

Please help me, error after i add bbcode of hide hack in BB Code Manager: (i have use prefix vbb_ in table)

ok. go into your plugins system. and turn off all hide plugins that are on. I had the same problem when i installed this :)

then go back to your bbcade manager, and delete your examle :D

then your bbcode will work ;)


its an easy fix. dont panic :)


let me know if that does it for you ;)

[ja3]

If anyone is still interested in this hack, I will take some time to fix it up. I was not active in the vb circuit for some months because I closed my forum.

[YOimYO]

IM intereested :D VERY ! i have this installed, and it has a mind of its own :P


thx for the offer :)

[EricaJoy]

Could moya and ja3 join forces and get a good hide hack up and operational? If its a matter of ja3 having access to the customers portion of vbstyles, I'd be happy to buy a license to a style for him/her. Rather unfortunate that ja3 doesn't run a forum anymore as they wouldn't have anywhere to use the style. :(

[nando415]

please update the hack and see if you can make it so people cant see the link in the thread preview (when you hover your mouse over the thread name)

[ja3]

I am now converting to the new product system and I fixed to hide the hidden text from the mouseover on forumdisplay.php, I hope to release it soon.

[sidekick]

I am now converting to the new product system and I fixed to hide the hidden text from the mouseover on forumdisplay.php, I hope to release it soon.

thanks, i hope its perfect now.. this hack is really good :)
please keep us updated

[ja3]

I released Beta 2, :) the xml is in the downloads. The old version is also still there as this version of the hack comes with a lot of changes.

Changes:
- Now parsing directly when editing.
- Hide text not showing anymore on mouseover on forumdisplay.php

[tuanluu]

cool glad that this hack is improving. how to we update for the previous to this beta 2?

[ja3]

Remove all the plugins with the name hide hack, you can also remove the templates bbcode_hide and bbcode_hide_noaccess. Then install the product hide-hack XML.

[tuanluu]

thank very much it work fine

[lolo?]

hello some trouble if you have more one tag hide in the same post the hide start from the first tag and close into the last

thanks for your work

Thanks for your bug report, will try to fix this in B3

Thanks for all reply's I will look into the bugs this week

[sezmar]

Also if users use threaded or hybrid mode, they will see the hidden content.

Go up a few, the fix is there

[Smiry Kin's]

very nice, im gonna be using this one. :)

[Xplorer4x4]

<a href="link" target="_blank">link</a>

Now it parsing into HTML and I am suing the latest version. :s

EDIT: I deleted B2 and reinstalled it, and I do not see hide tags listed in the vB code page....

[sniper0]

Problems or features I would like to see.

Bugs: xplorer posted it on page 11

Features that would be great:
- Quoting post doesn't show hidden text
- Admins and mods can auto see hidden text (or make an option in the ACP for all listed usergroups to bypass the hidehack)
- Images for hidden area
- Thank You's show hidden text.

I would be more than happy to donate a few bucks if I hear you are working on these.

[The Notorious]

Admins+mods of that forum.

[Zia]

we are on vb3.5.3 install this hack..
but it has bug...while replying with quote it appeared....n only once it can be use in a thread..
least how to stop showing while any one quoting it in reply?
any way that it will be ignored from quoted??

[The Notorious]

Known bugs in B2:
- Only 1 hide tag per post.

And yea quote is a pretty big problem...

[Xplorer4x4]

Features that would be great:
- Images for hidden area

This can already be done. Find the template called BBC_hide_noaccess template or soemthing like that. And where it says you do not have pemrision to see this, or w/e it says, just replace with <img src="url here"></img>

[Xplorer4x4]

When I try using either version, I get this:

<div style="margin:20px; margin-top:5px; ">
<div class="smallfont" style="margin-bottom:2px">Hide:
<table cellpadding="6" cellspacing="0" border="0" width="100%">
<tr>
<td class="alt2" style="border:1px inset">
test
</td>
</tr>
</table>
</div>

EDIT: It looks that the templates are out of date for 3.5.3 when logging into the admin cp.

wel,
i clicked install but one thing about this hack that annoys me is that the hidden content is still viewable (without being forced to reply) through the archieve ....

you could add a plugin that prevents that ...

[lawina]

is it me or does this mod not work with 3.5.3 ? It works for older [hide] tags but when i try to use the [hide] tag it wont work

[Darkfire122333]

it is working for me, and I am running 3.5.3, you have to also install the other file that is shown there along with the files in the .zip file. I was stuck on that for a while.

[HHU]

Very easy to cheat this.. just quote the post an view the hidden content

No reply needed at all... needs major work

[Zowners]

can you update this for 3.5.4?

[Desihunk]

True.

Please update it so that it works with vB 3.5.4

[Dougie Nunny]

This sucks cause the hack is perfect for what I'm looking for and the fact that it's free unlike the other bogus one you have to pay for.

If you have text after it, it won't work.

If you have 2 hides, one won't work.

If you have multiple text in it, it will bunch it all together and not make sense.

If you hide a link, it puts the URL= tags in.

Man, I wish JA would fix it.

[Sai01]

yes please fix this! i really need it.

[NeoToxic]

Hi i installed this on the latest version on VB and when i try and add a url inside the hide tags it doesnt work heres a example

http://www.google.com

Would display like this inside the box itself.

[ URL="http://www.google.com"]http://www.google.com[/URL ] (without the spaces)

Any ideas on how to fix this? Thanks

[bonjurkes]

you mustnt write anything after hide tag

or edit it by making it italic etc...

[NeoToxic]

ok so if i make it italic it will work? tht kinda sucks not been able to edit anything after it isnt there a fix for this also could you tell me if i have to add custom bb tags and how and what are the settings for them much detail as possible please as im new to this thanks

Ok i havnt got anything underneath this and it still show [url ] tags in the box twice like this

[ URL="http://www.google.com"]http://www.google.com[/URL ]

how can i fix this ?

[Xplorer4x4]

True.

Please update it so that it works with vB 3.5.4

It works in 3.5.4 but it is just very buggy. I suggest usign the old version.


Man, I wish JA would fix it.

I honestley believe at this point that it is one of two things,

either Ja wants to fix it but lacks the proper knowledge, or
it is bassicly impossible to achieve these fixes without code modification.

on that line is
