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 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.

The problem is being discussed here (and there is also a solution):
http://www.visionscripts.com/forum/s...ead.php?t=1966

As for the file edit, you gotta download vbulletin with uncompressed javascript from www.vbulletin.com first, otherwise the javascripts are not editable.

[haidm]

Still can't use [HIDE] code althougt set the Group permission, please tell me why (install v 4.0.1).

[kalisekj]

Hey Thanks for this Mod, But for real if you expect people to pay for the advanced version like I have done for $25 , then I have to do a lot of manual file edits, you guys need to provide a decompressed version of that .js script for your paying customers.

Here Is a Copy of the decompressed vbulletin_quick_reply.js with the edits already made. VB 4.02 SP1 Suite, although pretty sure its the same file for all 4.0 versions. Enjoy!

I would also like a more clear explanation of the settings in the admincp. Some are not entirely clear what their purpose is, so I will have to play around and find out what they mean and what they do unless you provide actual documentation as to the various features and functions.

[Thr33]

on ur site "TopFloorDjs, you do not have permission to access this page." so cant see the solution either. yes id hoped for somewhere to find the decompressed js file.
