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"

beduino,
just use that little paperclip button to implement the attachement to your post (you'll have to implement all attachements to remove the attachement box )

then hide them using the hide-tags.

Hiding away the complete post is not recommended
Your user want to know what they're going to thank for first for sure
but that's up to you.

Yes, I need to find a more elegant way for attachements, but I haven't enough time
so that'll have to wait

Hi just installed the hide hack ... but it doesn´t seem to be working :

they are no bottums at the top of the wysiwyg interface !!
and
when I write manully :
[hide]yes yes yes yes[/hide]

is shows up like that ....... no hide !!!

Any help `?

[itsid]

Hi Lahoria,

No there are no buttons by default, but you can easily add one to the editor,
there's one in post #74 or use one of the buttons neutek just posted.

Upload one to your forums server, and go to ACP->Custom vB Codes-> hide
there you'll find where to enter the imagepath.

Oh, and NOPE, within WYSIWYG the text will not be hidden, you will never find your own text hidden, so it doesn't make any sense to hide text in wysiwyg.
(wysiwyg doesn't make any sense at all!! that's by far the most annoying thing ever,
it produces as ugly code as imaginable... other story)

To see what it does you have to send the post to your forum (not even preview does the job)

Ok I cant get the img's to apply what folder do they go in? The directions are very small and should be rewritten. Everything I submit shows even if I log out. I set it so Admins can't see and still get a text box wrapped with no images. And it appears as if EVERYONE can see the hidden stuff? I have the latest thank you hack which is working fine
