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.

Psionic Vision, очень тебя прошу, не мог бы ты тогда хотя бы сказать, что изменить в коде, чтобы по умолчанию в опции появлялось 5,6,7. Заранее спасибо.

Changes: See First Post.
New Screenshots: No new screenshots since 2.0.0
How to upgrade:
1. Overwrite the product XML. (Or, better, re-install the product.)
2. Re-Do changes for postbit and postbit legacy templates.
3. Re-Do changes for editor_toolbar_on
4. Re-Do changes for functions.php
5. Enjoy!

I upgraded from 1.0.2 to 2.0.1 simply by reverting everything back and installing fresh. I don't see any postbit template edits that are required, did I miss something?

akanevsky · #**165** 12-07-2005, 05:44 PM

Yes, apparently you did.

aranthorn · #**166** 12-07-2005, 08:31 PM

from the instructions in readme.html:

                </if>

Step is Complete.

PRODUCT UPLOADS

It never mentions postbit template edits.
Are they in the product xml file?

akanevsky · #**167** 12-07-2005, 08:34 PM

Ah... Those changes are only pertinent for the extended version of the hack

rb290 · #**168** 12-10-2005, 06:48 AM

not sure if this has been said
when upgraded to 3.5.2 and when trying to view a thread it gave me a parse error, and i found out what plugin caused it - "[HIDE] Hack Resurrection Component" under Hook Location : postbit_display_complete.
can you please fix this or.. ?

HansMuenchen · #**169** 12-10-2005, 09:12 AM

There is no parse error... If there is, provide me with an admin account on your board and I'll look at it. Via PM of course.

HansMuenchen
Yes.

I like the idea of this hack, atleast the [HIDE][/HIDE] feature, however I wondered if it would be possible to completely HIDE the text, without leaving a msg stating that the user NEEDS X requirements to see it. Rather it just APPEAR, possibly even inside a <feildset> tag which shows the user's name and 'HIDDEN'

Quote:

<fieldset>
<legend><? echo $bbuserinfo['username'] . "/HIDDEN" ?> </legend>
Hidden text
</fieldset>

Similar to that. Just a thought. I might attempt making a hack similar but I am far from an experienced coder.
