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.

Thanks for the update.

Downloaded.

hi m8 what is limited about this version ? As i noticed before u had a lite version so is anything missing ?

Some features, such as HIDE-REPLY and HIDE-THANKS are not present in the limited edition. "Lite" and "Limited" means the same thing. :)

I think you make here only advertise for your mod, your limited version nobody can use because it is to limited, and at your Pro version you use IONCUBE so most user cant use it !

Nice addon! But why do I get:
Every time? I installed and edited it perfectly without any kind of mistakes.

thnak for this post

Not anymore. :)

Please check that the hack is enabled. The new version auto-disables itself if you didn't upload all the files.

Perfect! Works fine for me, just little bit different appear than in thread dislpay...

hide image not showing...

argghh came to LAST ITEM on the install then it says :Ensure you have uncompressed javascript version of vb..

darn it, uninstalling..

Make sure to upload the images to your style's subfolders.

Why?.. What you have to do is download vBulletin (uncompressed javascript), and overwrite just the javascript folder. You don't have to overwrite everything.

I just want to say I appreciate all the care you put into your script comments, it's not only professional but it's darn handy as well.

Thank you, I'm glad to hear it. :)

I have done that, but sadly the images are still not showing for me.

I have done everything for this hide hack except for this last edit with the javascript. What difference will this make if I do not do this?

Where are the options that make people post to view the hidden content, I can only see options for a post count and group?

Try checking the paths to those images -- maybe you're thinking of a wrong path. See where it tries to load images from, and upload them to that location.

It doesn't make a large difference for the limited edition, you would just not see popups when you click the HIDE and SHOWTOGROUPS toolbar buttons. They will be entered into edit field as and , respectively, instead of . So it will be difficult for everyone to figure out how to use the tags.

For the expanded edition, not doing JavaScript edits will lose the entire AJAX functionality.

HIDE-REPLY would be the tag needed here, and it's only available in the expanded edition.

Hi install your add-ond but I just wanted to thank function or via direct response, I would like to know how to configure it to serve just those two things

im getting a {param} message inside the hidden content box and no hidden content is shown.

when i edit the post i can see that the hidden content is there.

Can you help?

Can I use like this:
[SHOWTOGROUPS=1,2]
Contents showed to groups 1 and 2 only!
[SHOWTOGROUPS=2]Contents showed to group 2 but not group 1[/SHOWTOGROUPS]
[/SHOWTOGROUPS]

What will happen if I use like this:
[SHOWTOGROUPS=1]
Showed to group 1 only
[SHOWTOGROUPS]Showed to group 2 only[/SHOWTOGROUPS]
[/SHOWTOGROUPS]

Hi

I want the full version of this hack. How can I buy it and how much do I have to pay for it?

Thank you

vBulletin Options -> Hide Hack Resurrection

Yes, you can.

Please follow the links in my signature.

Where do I get the expanded edition from?

i install this hack...

but i cant see the HIDE Button in my editor.....

i even upload image in my custom Style...

hack is Enable...

plz help me for fix this problem

What will happen if I use like this:
[SHOWTOGROUPS=1]
Showed to group 1 only
[SHOWTOGROUPS]Showed to group 2 only[/SHOWTOGROUPS]
[/SHOWTOGROUPS]

I have the same issue, the buttons are not there only the text for them !

Plus, only Hide-Post works for me, the others like [/SHOWTOGROUPS] don`t work, i mean the hide tag is around the text but is not hidden...

I`m using vB 3.8.0 but i had the same issue before, with 3.7.x

Installed... but I can't see [STG] and [HIDE] buttons in qickreply now. Tested with default and my custom styles.

@Psionic Vision:it's very nice mod but if you can integer it with vbcredit i will buy pro version and donate you 20-50$ :)

Please explain your idea in more detail.

Please upload the contents of images folder in hack's package into the image directory of your style.

Please check that the permissions are enabled for usergroups and forums where you are trying to use the hack.

Please follow links in my signature.

That is a known issue with 3.7.1 - automated template injections implemented but they don't support quickedit and quickreply yet. That will be fixed in the next release.

i like it ... *installed*

thank you

Nice modification, will be useful!

There is no section in the instruction manual about template edits in the admin cp. That's why the BB Code images aren't showing for anyone...

Please let me edit your citation:

There is no section in the instruction manual about template edits because there are no template edits that need to be done for this hack.

Your permissions (usergroup or forum or global) for the hack are not configured correctly. That's why the BB Code images aren't showing for anyone...

Works great, but i have a question.

is there any way to modify the hack so that a user does not see the hide content if they are added to the usergroup where it was visible after the post was made?

for instance, say user AAA posted something that user BBB cant see on 2/20, then on 2/21 user BBB was added to the usergroup. User BBB can now see the message that AAA wrote. I want that message to remain private based on date, so BBB cannot see reguardless if hes in the usergroup or not.

I would like (in the bbcode templates ) to change from the image "hidden text" to text that says "mpla mpla mpla mpla"
how?
Thanks
