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.

I got this error on the admincp straight after importing the product:

Site error: the file /usr/local/apache/www/crazyapes/myforumurl.com/htdocs/includes/visionscripts/psionic_hide/global_start.php requires the ionCube PHP Loader ioncube_loader_fre_4.3.so to be installed by the site administrator.

Please advise what this means?

My whole forum is now down and i cannot access admin cp or the forum, please URGENTLY advise!

[akanevsky]

can you do both, so it requires a thanks and a reply to view?

[HIDE-REPLY][HIDE-THANKS] YOUR TEXT [/HIDE-THANKS][/HIDE-REPLY].

also please activate my licence, just bought this hack from your site!

Done.

Nothing seems to work, i set:

If you would like to give out a certain amount of reputation points to users who receive a "Thank You", specify that amount here.

to 1, but everytime someone gives a thank you, its not passing 1 rep to them... also all rep's on the forum have been reset for some reason, i did not request this, what the hell is going on...?

Have you enabled it for the forum you are posting in?

I do not understand what the problem is. Please clarify.

Please activate my license asap so I can get my board up. Thanks. My email is simplyben225@msn.com

Posting requests to activate license won't speed up the process. It takes as much time as it does, and I won't see your request faster than I'll see your order. Your license has been activated.

also all rep's on the forum have been reset for some reason

You have to have reputation enabled, that's one. Reputation reset could be something you did wrong when you upgraded from 3.5, that's two. Please have patience, you don't need to bump your post every two hours, that's three. Thanks.

[MajorFm.com]

ok i now have most of it working... i didn't realise you had to enable it per forum aswell as the options & aswell as the usergroups...

The only think not working now is the reputation per thanks bit...

I have set it to 1 rep for every thanks... it doesn't give one rep... any idea...?

As for bumping every few hours? looks at the times of my posts... i posted at 3.15am and you replied 12 hours later... as it was effecting the forum, i posted again today...
