DESCRIPTION

Have you ever wanted your users to be able to define who exactly can view the information in any particular post? vS-Hide Hack Resurrection, a vBulletin 3.5.x - 3.8.x expansion, features a set of handy tags that together give your users an opportunity to do just that:

[HIDE-POSTS]: defines the minimum number of posts required to read the content within.
[SHOWTOGROUPS]: defines the usergroups that may read the content within.
[HIDE-THANKS]*: defines that the content within may only be read after the person says thank you by pressing a special button. (Expanded Edition Only)
[HIDE-REPLY]*: defines that the content within may only be read after the person replies. (Expanded Edition Only)
[STU]: defines the users that may read the content within. (Expanded Edition Only)

*(1): The HIDE-THANKS tag comes with a full-featured Post Thank You System. See features for further details.
*(2): The HIDE-REPLY tag can be reversed to HIDE with just one easy switch of an admincp option.

INTRODUCTION

Why "Resurrection"?

The reason is simple: This hack has been written many times by various people, and nobody ever got their version working correctly.
This product presents a professional version written from scratch, and there are no backdoors through which hidden information can be illegally retrieved. Unlike other systems, this one works correctly with the vBulletin Post Cache.

Usage Syntax:

[HIDE]information[/HIDE]
Shortcut code, can be mapped to any of the below ones. By default, it is mapped to HIDE-POSTS.

[HIDE-POSTS=X]information[/HIDE-POSTS]
Information is not shown to people who have less than X posts. Has an alternative syntax: , where X is automatically set to the value defined in vBulletin options.

[HIDE-REPLY]information[/HIDE-REPLY] (Expanded Edition Only)
Information is not shown to people unless they reply.

[HIDE-THANKS]information[/HIDE-THANKS] (Expanded Edition Only)
Information is now shown to people unless they press "Thank You" button.

[HIDE-REPLY-THANKS]information[/HIDE-REPLY-THANKS] (Expanded Edition Only)
Information is not shown to people unless they either reply or press "Thank You" button.

[SHOWTOGROUPS=x]information[/SHOWTOGROUPS]
Information is not shown to people unless they are a member of the X usergroups, where X is a comma-separated list of usergroupids.

[STU=x]information[/STU]
Information is not shown to people unless they are a listed in X, where X is a comma-separated list of userids.

Thank Psionic Vision

Anything left to add? I think the current set of features really covers it. Thank you PV, I might as well install this soon.

why not pay the coder to do that ?

thanks .

Big Thanx Psionic Vision =) for updating this Mod... so i can start the upgrading my forum to 3.7 =)

thank your sir!

this have the feature in order to see the hidden content they must reply to the post?

thanks, there is an update for 3.7

thanks will give this a try today

i thought coders arent allowed to force or recommend users to buying premium mods on other sites? all i see here is advertising for your mod, offering 1 or 2 things, but everything else appears to only work on the extended version.

thought that wasnt allowed to be done....

we dont need to know what is offered on the extended version thorugh your mod. those details are suppose to be offered only on request i thought....basically all i see is advertising for the mod so you can make money on a 3rd party site.

Cleaned first post from additional links to the commercial version: Only a single link is allowed.

Cleaned thread from all posts discussing the commercial version: Please do not use vB.org to discuss commercial products.

/me thanks marco

this buds for you.

Thanks

Okay, I think I've done it before and it was allowed. I suppose you changed the rules since the last time you checked. By the way, I was not advertising the mod in further posts, I was simply answering questions. Thank you for cleaning the first post for me, though.

Does this mean the return of Vision Scripts?

Cleaned thread again from discussion about commercial work.

Please note that any further posts discussing the commercial version will result in an infraction.

See https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/showpost....2&postcount=18

First post is already cleaned up, so please read before you post this nonsense.

I don't like the insinuation you are making here. Every member of vB.org will need to follow our rules, no exceptions.

There is nothing in our rules that don't allow listing of the features of the Paid version.

If you want to discuss our rules, please do so in vBulletin.org Site Feedback and not in the release thread of a modification.

i agree.

Man! It's no wonder why you don't want to code anymore. Why would you when you have so many people complain about anything!

Psionic,
Thank you for taking the time to port this over. This is officially the only HIDE hack available for 3.7 now. Lucky for us, it is the best one available.

Much appreciation. Thank you!

Can someone that has installed this mod tell me what it actually does do since most the worth while functions are stripped from this version?

Here's the answer:

If you think a post is against our rules, report it. This is everyone's last warning. Thank you.

<font color="DarkRed">Thanks,
</font>

where or what is the Maintenance Suite?

is this integrated with abes thank u hack? seems like it

No. This has it's own thank you hack.

thank you so much psionic for sharing at least the lite version. however, i am considering to purchase the expanded version in the near future.

regards :)

I went back and download the uncompressed javascript" version of vbulletin.)
can I only upload clientscript or I have to upload the whole uncompressed javascript" version of vbulletin over my current version ?

thats what i did, no problem so far.

confirmed, it causes issues with abes thank u hack. even if the thanks hack of hide hack is disable still wont abes hack wont work. maybe becoz abe uses auto template and probably during template edit we edit something that cause it. hope u can fix this psionic.

thank you

Again some people don't listen to requests by Staff: Please do not use vB.org to discuss/get support/ask pre-sales questions for the commercial version.

Posts regarding the commercial version will be deleted and the poster infracted!
