New Posting Features - [hide] hack incl post thank you "addon"

UPDATE
sid's [hide] hack 0.3.5

Hi again,

I've tried my best to build a [hide] hack that will fit to to
the wonderful POST THANK YOU HACK

but for sure you can use it without, then it'll work if user replies to a post with hidden content

You can coose in acp to show hidden content to admins mods or users of a certain usergroup (if you have useradmins or something) too.

It will show up some hint that will let your users know what to do (thank, answer, or even nothing)
by now with some small text, soon with a set of images

BUT

• my english is way off what I want it to be, so please go ahead and edit the language file to your needs

NOW UPDATED

Thanks to Andreas of vbhacks-germany

• no hidden content visible in archive
• no php edits necessary no more
• kicked out bitfield-code
  
  and further
• no hidden content visible in printthread.php if not in showthread.php
• now with a set of small images showing up as hint
• and least updateurl in acp

have fun

cheers

ps Sorry for updating that fast

UPDATE 0.3.0
uninstall previous version before installing the update!
So, here's what you've all been waiting for *grin*
Tha ajaxified version of my hide hack.

BUT, this is rather bruteforcing ajax, so be warned
First: you could fully disable ajax for this script in ACP!
Now how it goes, it checks the length of pagecontent every three seconds (usersides, no worries about serverload here), and if it finds some new "content" like a filled thanks-box or a new post it calls all the posts that have hidden content (of this page only of course) and tries to refill the postbits,
this causes some sql-queries, almost as much as to totally reload the page itself.
AS soon as I find a more elegant method I will update again.
Nothing else was changed though since 2.6, only modified in handling the ajax-request.
If you encounter any problems with the ajax of this script, just deactivate,
no javascript at all then will be loaded from this script, and you'll have a "normal" version in hands.
(size is due to an pic-install-help-image )

UPDATE 0.3.5
reduced querys,
smarter installations code.

that's all

cheers

PS If you encounter any problems not seeing thanked posts hidden content after reload,
try this codechange

PPS Sorry, Support only for those who clicked "install"

[itsid]

considering you have the thank-you hack installed, I'd like to know if you could see hidden content within printthread.php after clicking thanks.

oh one thing: is ajax disabled or why do you have to reload?

'sid

Ajax is disabled. Accoding to this, "If you encounter high Serverloads please deactivate this; users will have to reload after reply or thanks to see what's hidden then!" , so I disable it. I have a feeling that if ajax is enabled, I browser slowly through my site. Is this the reason?

The hack works find in both reply or thanks if I enable the ajax. But according to the quote above, I could disable ajax, and if members reply or thank and then reload page, they still could see the hidden content. On the other hand, when ajax is diabled, mine only can work with Reply. Member can't see hiden content when they click thank and reload page.

[itsid]

sorry, now i'm confused...

ajax is disabled, okay
If users click on thanks they cannot see what's hidden (but they can WITH ajax)
That is your problem?

If so, what about printthread.php?

'sid

Yes, that's my problem.

What do you mean about printthread.php? how do i check it and give that infomation to you ... Would you explain more clearly?

[itsid]

david,
after you clicked thanks , click on top of the page "thread options" (in this thread mod options for example) and on "show printable version"
you'll be redirected to printthread.php.
If you can see hidden content there let me know,
if not... too

Mostly this error occurs because of an old leftover from a previous version of abe1's thankyou hack.

Maybe the "PS" mentioned in first post may help then.

'sid

PS vitrag, it's annoying to read this full thread, I know.. but read the first post closely and please... click install, or forget about support

[lebmobile]

Dear Mr,

1- Does hiding the posts from Archive will affect google crawler ?????

2- Does it work with AJAX ? i mean if someone posted using ajax...does the link show up or he must refresh the page ?

Yes, after I click on the "printthread" , I can see the hidden content.

So is it the only way i can see the hidden content? Do you have another way to see the hidden content, or someway that fix this problem?

[itsid]

lebmobile,
Yes it does affect crawlers, hidden content cannot be seen by any crawler.
(except you allow guests to see hidden content, what will result in any not logged in user seeing hidden content, too)
And yes as mentioned in first post, it has an ajax-ability , so no refresh is necessary (if enabled)

david, then please, change the code to the one linked here
and it'll run smoothly.
It adds another sql query, but it's failure safe

'sid

[david05]

It works smoothly now. ... Another concern: what do you mean that "it's failure safe"?

Is it not safe to use the that code? or .....
