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.

Anybody know the answer to that?

Only if the spoiler hack uses the same tag names as this hack.

how to uncompressed vbulletin_textedit.js ? im almost done,only that thing is my prob? i dont know how to edit that part because it was compressed ...somebody help me..

You cannot uncompress it - you will have to download an "uncompressed" vBulletin package from www.vbulletin.com. When you download, select "more options", and then "uncompressed javascript". You do not need to overwrite all files, just the clientscript folder with the one from that package.

Release: vS-Hide Hack Resurrection 3.7.8

Changes Since 3.7.6:

• [+] Added support for "default groups" for the SHOWTOGROUPS tag - like the HIDE tag, the default groups can be configured via vBulletin Options.
• [+]* When there are too many thanks to be shown, there is now a "remove mine" button, so that users could remove their thanks (if permitted).
• [F] Fixed a few template bugs.
• [F]* Fixed a bug that caused a "::blank::" to show up under posts for some forums.
• [F]* Removed a conflict with vBulletin Blog, which prevented thanked stats from showing up in user profiles.

* Expanded Edition Only.

Upgrade Process:

1. Overwrite the product.
2. Update ./includes/vS_HHR_Engine.php with the file from 3.7.8 version of the package.
3. Revert the following templates, if modified:

• thanks_ajax*
• thanks_wrapper*
• bbcode_htnx*
• bbcode_hrply*
• bbcode_hrplytnx*

4. Done.

* Expanded Edition Only.

[RedHacker]

From 3.7.6 Version Upgrade to 3.7.8 update only ./includes/vS_HHR_Engine.php or all files...?

[The Notorious]

I got 3.7.6 expanded and some of the users get very big amounts of thanks, something like: Thanks = 4,294,967,295,

There must be a glitch or something? How can I correct this?

I think that's a glitch from previous version (3.7.6) that was fixed in (3.7.8). Please upgrade and rebuild thanks cache and table.

[The Notorious]

Yea but everyone will lose all their thanks if I rebuild the cache right? I don't really want to do that...

[willy888]

Is there any info about vb 4 & vS-Hide Hack ?

No, rebuilding the cache and the thanks table does not lose any data - it fixes any data that is incorrect.

[The Notorious]

Thanks man, it seems to be fixed now.

i have a problem with the show to user x , when i try to add more then say a certain number of character, example :

[STU="111,111,111,111,421,1231,123,421,12,312111,31 "]sadsdadsadsadsadsa[/STU]

it doesn't work but only show up as the text above, do you know the problem? it seems to auto space the user id after about 15 characters
