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.

Error:

Fatal error: Call to a member function on a non-object in /home/content/b/b/d/xxxx/html/forums/includes/class_postbit.php(296) : eval()'d code on line 1

traces to Hide Hack Resurrection: postbit_display_complete.

This is the 8th+ attempt at the install of this product. I even loaded this product up on a brand new vbulliten site and this was/is the only plug in running. I and three other people have confirned that each and every line of the install insturctions were followed to the letter. We used three different sites and we spent loads of hours trying to make it work.

It appears that the class_postbit.php is not seeing the $hhr->parse_bbcode object/function.

Any suggestions to a solution?

Currently I have deactived postbit_display_complete hook for this modification so that the site does not produce this error.

Are you sure you have downloaded the latest package of the hack? The latest package has $GLOBALS['hhr'] instead of just $hhr.

Yes, you can enable/disable it per forum. It is not hard to use either, you just press a button and the "Thank You" is saved.

P.S. Shazz, please do not answer when not asked, esspecially if you are not knowledgeable on the topic. Thanks.

[sickboy6ths]

Hi there psionic! If I want the VBCMPS News module not to display hidden text... I had to add the parsehide function to the news.php so the text would be processed and hidden if nececairy.

Since your rewrite in 2.7.x, I get an error that function ParseHide is not defined while im viewing the news on CMPS.
Is the function renamed or must it be hooked into a global start to be available in for instance CMPS etc?

Thanks for any insights!
