Hi ,
thank you for this great Mod.
could you help me to add 2 features.

1) how can I make quick reply AJAX without forword to thread page
win click on any post show quick reply box in spy page.

2) Also, I want use it to feed on one thread only
(Admins,Moderators can choose any thread/threads to spy by members)
I want this feature for thread about any event like real-time soccer match.
we have many posts and want easy way to browse new posts.

thank you again for this great hack.

Really nice job.

It works great! Thank you.

1.
Can we limit it to display only new posts and not edited posts and deleted posts?
2.
Can we add time stamp on each message that comes down the list?

It's not possible.

The next version which isn't released yet allows you to show a spy feed just for a specific threadid if you want.

You could disable some of the plug-ins for it in the AdminCP (for example you could disable Log Post Edit).


No, sorry.

Quick question. How do we make it that only paid members can use this mod. I've seen other boards do this, but for the life of me I can't figure out how they do it?

thanks Digital Point.
I managed to be able to keep it showing only the new posts and threads but here is another problem i have.

Up to now i was using Vaispy for the 3.8 platform. Now, i use yours. It happens that my forum has to sections. One is for a specific usergroup and the other is for all the members including this usergroup as well.

Now the rest of the members are not able to see the section for the specific usergroup but all, event this section's posts are displayed in the Spy list when they are posted, although the simple members when they click on the link are not allowed to access. But it's really annoying to have the posts of this section "fall" into the spy feed for ALL the members as in this way they can see the review.

I would like to limit the usersgroup section to be included in the Spy list only for the usergroup members to see. For the rest, these posts should not exist and should not appear.

Any clue?

That's already how it works (at least it should)... users can only see posts from threads they have access to. Are you SURE they are seeing something they can't access?

it seems that with a little more effort it works fine now.

Thanks!!

What extra effort was that exactly? It's how it works out of the box...

Good one

What`s it going to help the user?

Hmm tried to install it and got:
along with other errors.. and
Edit: On vB 4.0.3 PL1, FYI...

What version of vB are you using?

Edited post later, but on 4.0.3 PL1...

You might want to upgrade... Earlier versions of vB4 had all sorts of template parsing bugs that were fixed in later versions.

Could you please tell me more about: Switched JavaScript library to from YUI to jQuery (for an end user, it means better animations).

Thanks!

I have seen it done on other sites where you need to be a premium user to use Digital Spy hack.

Would anyone know how to do this? I have it installed, Just need to limit its use.

Thank you.

- Methok

mine isn't working?

It's easy. Find plugin "Add Spy Link To Navigation" where you call link to it and use this condition around calling spy.php:

<vb:if condition="is_member_of($bbuserinfo,5,6,7)">

Now plugin should look like:

$template_hook['navbar_community_menu_end'] .= '<vb:if condition="is_member_of($bbuserinfo,5,6,7)"><li><a href="spy.php' . $session['sessionurl_q'] . '" target="_blank">' . $vbphrase['spy'] . '</a></li></vb:if>';

Of course, 5,6,7 are usergroups you want to allow access.

The same method could be used to allow registered users but not guests to use it as well?

You put usergroups you want to see it. Any usergroups listed are able to view this link. Actually, you can use it for any link or content you want visible to selected usergroups. Link and content is inside statment.

Any possibility of using this to echo on a page outside of vbulletin?

to here...
http://webpage.com/index.php

Is it backwards compatible (3.8 series) please?

Not even sure what that means to be honest... The Spy itself doesn't care what the URL it's running on, so should work fine on any URL you put it as long as your vB framework is available there of course.

Nope, 4.x only.

Yeah I couldn't get that to work, Also would that just hide the link rather than not allowing access to spy.php?

So if they just typed the URL they would find it?

People rarely know what you have installed on server, so hiding link is as good as disabling in many cases. But to disable people from using some mode, it needs mod reprogramming, that mod itself checks who's trying to use it.

Is there any reason this is no longer working for me? I've had it installed since it first came out (I think) but just recently upgraded to 4.1.4 and now it doesn't appear to work =S

Nothing on the addon side, no.

eh. Perhaps a conflict with another mod then =\

seems to be a conflict with my custom 'style' =S dang it

Version 1.0 was working perfectly for me, i did an upgrade to 1.10 and now it's not working anymore.

Those who say "it's not working", perhaps if you supply some more information someone may be able to assist.

Silence...what a surprise.... :rolleyes:

What information? like VB version? i have 4.1.3

The error you are getting, the URL you are running it at, etc.

No error, there is no feed at all
Url is /spy.php

One of my users has reported that the links in Spy don't take him to the post, but to the first post in the thread.

I've tested this and found this is happening in Safari. Anyone else getting this? Is it fixable?

The actual URL would be helpful. :)

WHat URL do you have it running at?

Just installed, 4.1.5. So far, so good. Installation found and correctly placed the link in my moderately customized Navbar. Yay! Thanks for this mod, digitalpoint,

does this mod come with an option/setting page on ACP?
Can the spy.php be renamed into something else? (for example like realfeed.php)
Can the feed be displayed in small box somewhere else? (on forum home)
