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.

Ummm... How do I put that nicely...
If you have something not working, then please DO bother to specify what and where is not working, else it is guaranteed that you will NOT receive any help. And I believe that applies to all hacks, not only mine.

Can we hide hidden tag option from normal members? I would like my mods smods etc. only see and use the hide tag button?

Can you help on this? Thanks.

[merlin101]

Yes, but that is only going to be available in Expanded Edition.

English please.

[merlin101]

simply version when a member clicks the thankyou button they have to manually refresh before attachment is viewable. Is this fixable?

[akanevsky]

What does this hack have to do with attachments?

[TamCaVBoy3]

the check license key for gold edtion is not so good. my key becomes invaild and http://www.visionscripts.com/ is not even online. when the key is invalid, i can't even access the forum...

[akanevsky]

Please carry technical issues to visionscripts.com - and there is no reason to cross-post the same problem all over the place, esspecially since you've been answered at visionscripts. Thanks for understanding.

ANSWERING HERE TOO, BECAUSE I'M A NICE PERSON:

Just because you are unable to follow directions that were posted multiple times and get the hack to work does not mean that it has bugs. I have provided you with a live demo, and since it is working, you have no reason to state that it does not.

If you are unable to install it yourself, I strongly suggest you order installation service, which guarantees a completely installation. Otherwise, please refrain from unnecessary hateful comments. Thank you for understanding.
