I still use this even now in vb 3.6.4 , Fresh install

the only problem i have with it now is the ability to hide the tags from people who use quote.

We used to have to edit the newreply.php and add a small drop of code, however cant see where to continue doing this as the newreply.php no longer has that code or at least has changed considerably.

OLD Instructions:-

Step 4: (Optional)
What if you use news tags in a message and someone replies this message by pressing "QUOTE" in the original thread? Your news tags will be revealed to him. IF he is not authorized to send news, this is no big deal but if you want to hide them anyway, you can apply this optional hack too:

Edit newreply.php and find

$postdate=vbdate($dateformat,$postinfo[dateline]);
$posttime=vbdate($timeformat,$postinfo[dateline]);
$pagetext=htmlspecialchars($postinfo[pagetext]);

Before that add this:

$pagetext = preg_replace("/(\[)(news)(])(\r\n)*([^\"]*)(\[\/news\])/siU", "" ,$pagetext);
$pagetext = preg_replace("/(\[)(options)(])(\r\n)*([^\"]*)(\[\/options\])/siU", "" ,$pagetext);
$pagetext = preg_replace("/(\[)(intro)(])(\r\n)*([^\"]*)(\[\/intro\])/siU", "" ,$pagetext);
$pagetext = preg_replace("/(\[)(summary)(])(\r\n)*([^\"]*)(\[\/summary\])/siU", "" ,$pagetext);

Save and upload newreply.php..

If you get the time, Id appreciate an update to this

also do you know if its possible to hide the buttons on the advanced wysiwyg editor from specific groups ?
