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.

[akanevsky]

Yeah. I forgot to update those instructions for the lite hack when I updated it off of the expanded hack... I shall fix that shortly.

[Danecookie]

how do we add buttons for this hack in my new thread or reply area?

check my pic and this https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/attachmen...9&d=1133643083

[vbreal]

when i make the change to the functions_forumdisplay file it gives me a white page when ever i click on anything that goes to forumdisplay.php

i have made all the neccary file changes. i just have the change to functions_forumdisplay file. i have the addition commented out. until u tell me what to do.

i am using the expanded version. i downloaded it last week

[vbreal]

ok i just read through this thread. i signed up on your site. but i can't get into the support area. i will send you a pm that shows our history. and u will see i am a license user.

i have not done the template edits or the xml upload because once i make the change to the functions_forumdisplay it wont show any page that uses forumdisplay.php. made all changes to the php fiels. the only one that isn't active is the functions_forumdisplay.php

i wouldn't think i had to do the template changes and upload the xml for the forumdisplay.php page to show up. i stopped because i didin't want to go any further with the hack.

also this part confuses the hell out of me

Example: If you need to copy ./admincp/thehack.php to ./somefolder/thehack.php, it would mean that you need to copy a file, called thehack.php from the admincp subfolder of the package you have downloaded to the somefolder subdirectory of your forum engine.

i just uploaded the visionscripts folder to the includes folderso it would be /includes/visionscripts/

i had your older version installed and it worked just fine. i am on 3.5.4 now so i had to install the new version.

[akanevsky]

If you are a licensed user, make sure your clientarea email matches your forum email, then see if you get access.
