Staff can Post Hidden Posts
 

Alright, this Modification is a port of my 3.0.0 Version here.

Short description:

This mod allows you and your moderators, to post hidden posts, which will be visible just to your staff, but not to the users, which will allow you to have comfortable conversations about an issue directly within a thread, withoput users noticing.

There is no more to say. The modification is installed here since a long time and no problems appeared, but i still consider it as a beta version, right now, until usertest have approved it as well :)

Enjoy

First post :).

I'd happily help you in any way possible.



Err...it just makes the post moderated and shows a link to it under PM's in the navbar. Is that right?

thank you :)

Looks good will install when i upgrade

Thanks I will give it a try! :)

Ziki clicks install

what does it mean "(after the textarea part)" ?

yep, that's the way it works/worked all the time :)


@OnDa real: after </textarea>


I did not do much designing here, i just provided a working version, it's up to you to put the links where you want em ;)

Great addition, should be standard in my eyes ;) Thanks Xenon

Just a quicky though...I take it this can only be hidden using the QR post method?

What can i say?, what can i do?, just a word "Installed' :D :D

I highly doubt that ismod() is a standard vb function. ;)

Nice I was looking for this already.

Doesn't work.....

Database error in vBulletin 3.5.4:

Invalid SQL:

SELECT COUNT(postid) AS count
FROM post
LEFT JOIN deletionlog AS deletionlog ON(deletionlog.primaryid = post.postid AND type = 'post')
WHERE visible = 0 AND dateline > 1144785242
AND deletionlog.primaryid IS NULL;

If your post table doesn't exist, you've got bigger problems than this hack not working :D

Actually - it's a fault in the hack - Table Prefix is missing from the query in global_start hook (for both tables used). :)

I get the same error...

When I uninstalled the hack , everything is all right....damn

damn... ^^

redownload the file i have uploaded now, then it should work :)

@Psionic: that's why that plugin is disabled :p

That worked thank you :)

On Open threads, I am getting the 'Open' box. It should say Close, right?

(btw... I love you man. I was just wondering if you had ported this.)

Thanks Boss
- This will help in support topics.

Works absolutely well. Just a question: is it possible to exclude those hidden posts from the newposts? A non-staff-member will get X new posts, even when y of them are hidden.
Any help is gladly apreciated!

Excellent thank you indeed Xenon..:)

@Nachtfalke: hmm, what newposts do you mean?
is it a custom hack? if yes you have to add a visible = 1 into the fetching querie

Oh, excuse me for forgetting that: I meant the Newposts in the Welcome-Panel of the vbAdvanced Portal.

well, then it's that hack, which is coded incorrectly.

i'd report it to the author, tell him, that a visible = 1 is needed in the query, or hidden/deleted/moderated posts will count as well

How in the bee-bee-jammers did I miss this? ;)

Good work, sir. ;)

Does this work with the ajax feature in the Quick reply?

Stefan, can you include the code in the xml file for opening and closing the thread, too? I would rather use your code for that if you can add it. ;)

I well try this hack! thanx

Bob, which code do you mean?

you mean the checkbox below the qr?
that's just copy and pasted from newreply, nothing serious i did myself :)

So we don't need to have any plug-in code for the close thread to work that you have with the hide post template code?

Also, will that code work in the showthread template, too? If I do it in the qr template, it goes above the quote and sig boxes, unless I did something really worng. ;)

as long as it's within the <form> tags it will work.

it's nothing special i have added here :)

Will this also work with the editpost template?

I'd suggest moving the bit of code to below the regular options, as $threadinfo[open] is not avaible in the showthread_quickreply template

find in the showthread template.
Add after

Seems to just flag posts as moderated.. which isn't really a desired result :p

Thank you, sir. ;)

Can we use:

instead of:

Which is better?

And can we get this to work in the editpost like it is?

The can_moderate() function will only allow moderators that have mod provlideges for the forum there set to.

If usera is modding foruma and is view forumb, then usera will not beable to use the hack because he is modding forumb.

can_moderate() grants the following: All Admins, All SuperMods, and All Mods in said forum. At least this is how i belive it works as I've been using that for alot of my hacks on my forums and had no complants yet lol

Thanks for the explanation, sir. Now it makes a little more sense. As far as the template edit for the navbar for this hack, since it is on the forum home, can it use the can_moderate() function or do I need to change it from what Stefan has in the instructions?
