I checked out the xml... unless I missed something else besides your dependency in the file, why would this not work with previous versions?

Hello,

I would like to know wheather this can work with the attachments too or not?

It could if it weren't for the way I display the box and CK Editor.

I am working on a version that will work with earlier versions of VB.

Access to attachments are handled directly by vBulletin.

Unless you're talking about external attachments. Then, no it doesn't at this time.

Updated today to run on older versions of vB 4.

Interestingly, it will also run on vB 3.8 if you remove the dependency from the xml file. ;)

i need this for [php] code and [code]
can you make it?

It's already available on my site. Either click the link in the main post or the 'Visit Web Site' link in the 'The Developer' box.

ok and where is download link, please post

There are links to purchase the premium edition all over my site.

On versions 4.1.3 does not work...

What doesn't work for you?

Works fine for me with 4.1.3. See screenshots attached.

Thank you, understood.

Anyone tested it in 4.1.6 ?
Or anyone would recommend a good hide mod that works on the current version of vB ?!
Thanks.

Hum... installed it on 4.1.6, activated but the content is hided even if I'm not in the group mentioned on setting. ( meaning.. I'm the admin and can't see the content. =) )
Suggestions ?

I do not have 4.1.6 installed anywhere, but I just tested it on 4.1.5 P1 and it works without a problem.

Did you include your usergroup to test it at some point? If so, then it's a caching problem with either your browser or your server.

How can i put html code in the "[CODE] Message" for example:
thanks!

You can't in the Lite version.

Thanks, i'm going to buy the pro version!

Yeah, i bought it but i can't write in html...

-- EDiT --

Seethe attach:

Use the URL BBcode.

But don't both block URLs and put URLs in the message. One will cancel the other out.

Also, questions about premium versions should be asked on my site. People may get confused about what's included in the lite version if they are discussed here.

Okey thanks!
It works! ;)

Could be the cache.. I think. I'll do some more tests on different browsers.

but he hide for all usergroup i have 4.1.5 i set usergroup 1 but he hide for all

It does not hide for all usergroups. It only hides for the ones you specify.

While the screenshots in this post are from 4.1.3, the same thing still applies for 4.1.5...

The only thing I can suggest is seeing if another mod is interfering with the hider.

I have the same problem on 4.1.7

It's only set to hide links from guests, but it hides them from everyone else.

No other plugins installed. I also tried it with other browsers and it's the same.
I guess something is up after all.

EDIT:

I think I figured out what causes the problem.

I noticed if you have only used one set of code tag, the links are displayed properly and hidden from those specified in the admin option.

The problem occurs when I use more than one code tags, when there are separate coded content in the post.

This is not a problem with BB Code Hider. It is a setting for caching on your site.

Go to ACP->Settings->Options->Server Settings and Optimization Options.

Set Cached Posts Lifespan to 0 (zero).

I've tried that too. The problem is still present.

Well, to be honest I don't know where else to look. That is the only way I can duplicate what is happening to you.

I've tried to duplicate it on 4 totally different servers. And that setting is the only one that causes the problem. As soon as I set that to 0 and refresh the page the problem goes away.

OK, I think I know what might be happening with this..

Are you posting a new thread with some code, then immediately replying to the thread without leaving the thread?

It seems I must apologize to everyone that had this problem.

vBulletin itself was caching posts and when they were viewed by people that were allowed to view the code, vBulletin would display what it had in it's cache.

The fix posted today kills the post read from the vBulletin cache so that shouldn't happen any more.

Thanks for the quick fix. It seems to work now properly.

Hi, nice plug-in!
I've an issue: the code is visible in the Recent Forum Message CMS widget! How to Hide??
Thank's!

I get the following warnings on 4.1.6 and the code is still visible:

Do you have any idea what may cause this ?

Thank you

I'll have a look to see if the code can be intercepted in that widget or not. For now, the hider doesn't do the CMS widget.

Do these warning go away if you disable the hider?

I'm asking because it runs fine on 4.1.5 and 4.1.7 with no warnings (I never installed 4.1.6 anywhere).

Yes they go away when I disable the product from plugin manager. But the warnings are still there if I only disable it from BB Code Hider Lite Settings.

I also tested it on another forum (4.1.7) and it works fine. Maybe it is conflicting with another plugin in that 4.1.6 forum?

It does sound like something is conflicting with it.

I triple checked and all of the comments are closed in the hider, so I don't think it's in the hider. Try uninstalling, downloading again and re-installinng. Maybe something went wrong with the install or download.

Also, you could try disabling your other mods one at a time to see if you can locate the conflict. If you do locate it, please let me know which one it is so I can see what the conflict is.

Yes, something was going wrong in importing the product. I checked the plugins content is only this:
So, the import of each plugin was being interrupted right before the '?' sign. Replacing all ?s with Cs in xml and solved the issue.
Probably there is something wrong in parsing ? with UTF-8 forums. Mine is in Persian language.

Thanks for your help. Your PM regarding the comment led me to checking the plugin. :)

Hey nhawk, can you explain how you fixed the caching issue? I looked at the code briefly but couldn't see it. Actually, if you can explain how the caching system works that would be cool.
