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.

This is way better than the one I purchased at vbskins!

Thank you!

Sorry if this is a silly question but can I use this with vB 3.5.3 or not?

VaaKo · #**285** 02-09-2006, 06:06 PM

I just wanna know, is this hack compatible with AJAX quick reply?

{
$hidetag['canview'] = true; // allowed if [user = mod]
}

Where would I find that code to replace Psionic?

Thanks again!

Hello Psionic,

I have some questions.
First, can I use this hack in vB 3.5.3, too? In the includes/functions_forumdisplay.php there is not the code that I have to change.
Second, the bugs with more than one hidden-text in one thread and the bug with editing a post are still there.

Hopoe you can help me.

working fine on vb 3.5.3 just find this in this functions_forumdisplay.php

PHP Code:


			
$thread['preview'] = htmlspecialchars_uni(fetch_censored_text(fetch_trimmed_title(

            strip_bbcode($thread['preview'], false, true),

            $vbulletin->options['threadpreview']

        )));

above that

PHP Code:


			
$thread['preview'] = parseHide($thread['preview']);

all done

So. now I have changed all php- and js-files. But I can't do the changes in the templates, because I get an error:

Parse error: parse error, unexpected '{' in /srv/www/htdocs/web4/html/includes/functions.php on line 4386

Hope you can help me.

that's caused by a syntax error most likely you forgot something where the PHP parser is exspecting something else then a '{' look in the lines of code before the '{' or you could start over with a clean functions.php file
