Staff Can Post Hidden Posts

1 Attachment(s)

This is a port of Xenon's 3.5 hack here. All credit goes to Xenon, I merely updated it to work on vB 3.8.

Xenon gave permission in his signature that folks could update his mods:

You just have to mention my full name if you want to reuse some of my work, thats all i ask for.

Mod Information:

Current Version:
2.0

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, without users noticing. (NOTE: this uses the "moderation" feature, although these posts WILL NOT show in moderation in the admin/modcp)

Installation:
Simply import via: AdminCP -> Plugins & Products -> Product Manager -> Add/Import Product

Changelog:
Version 2.0, Oct. 5th, 2010
-- Ported to 3.8
-- Auto-template edits.

If you like, and use, this modification - please "Mark As Installed". Those that have "Mark As Installed" will receive priority support.

I ported this for my 3.8 site and at first my Staff was kinda iffy about it, but now they love it! It's a fun mod. :) Thanks for putting this up.

Eric	10-05-2010 03:33 PM

:) Thanks for posting Lynne. I hope folks here will enjoy using it just as much :)

How does this know which usergroups can/cannot see hidden posts ? I have admin/moderators and super moderators.

well .. this is nice but not all the staff can see the hidden posts. Only those staff who have moderation rights in that particular forum can see the posts.

Not all our staff are supermods or even mods. A usergroup setting would have been nice.

Eric	10-06-2010 11:02 AM

I've left it as close to Xenon's older modification as possible. However, I may build onto it a bit when I get time. It does use "can_moderate()" at the moment to check permissions.

Also there should be some indication that the post is a hidden one for staff viewing or else some staff will just take it to be a normal post.

Hmmm... could a mod accidentally quote a hidden post thereby making the info viewable to all?

* Installed

I have one issue. When I click the "View 0 New Hidden Posts" it takes me to mydomain.net/search.php?do=findhiddenposts&special=getnew and it should take me to mydomain.net/fourms/search.php?do=findhiddenposts&special=getnew

Any idea as to how to fix this?

PHP Code:


		
			
$vbphrase['welcome_x_link_y'] .= "</strong><br /><a href=\"search.php?$session[sessionurl]do=findhiddenposts&amp;special=getnew\">View $newhiddenposts New Hidden Posts</a><strong>";

It looks for the following code in SHOWTHREAD, so it can auto-inject the check box:

HTML Code:

<label for="qr_quickreply"><input type="checkbox" name="quickreply" value="1" id="qr_quickreply" accesskey="w" tabindex="4" />$vbphrase[quote_message_in_reply]</label>

If that code isn't there (which would be odd), that's why.

Is it possible to add other groups that can see hidden posts? I am ready to pay.

Go into the Templates and to SHOWTHREAD
Search the template for this

Quote:

<label for="qr_quickreply"><input type="checkbox" name="quickreply" value="1" id="qr_quickreply" accesskey="w" tabindex="4" />$vbphrase[quote_message_in_reply]

add at the end of the above code this:

Quote:

</label>

It is missing when the auto-inject is done from the mod
