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"

hi guys:

i have installed this hack every thing is working perfect but the main problem is it isn,t showing the image just showing cross

i have uploaded images in
images/ defaultstyle i have/ misc
and still i m unable to see the pics of hidden hack :::::

it showing only text and before it a small cross ::::

please any help thanx in advance

[itsid]

hi notrious,
the images should be in forumpath/images/ and not any subfolder.
imagepath is defined via phrasemanagement, because of that there is no way to have different pictures per style.

Either you can move them to images/
or you can change all sid_hide_img (searchterm) phrases to point to the required folder

thank you so much boss problem solved you are the best thank you so much

[ry215]

is there one for VB 3.6.7?

[ry215]

Could you please explain this step:

import via acp Phrase-Manager but NOT as a new language!

Please, thanks alot, i have version 3.6.7 i hope this will work .

[itsid]

ry215, it WILL

sure: choose to overwrite existing language (it'll just ADD the needed phrases, nothing will be changed or deleted)

'sid

ps don't forget to mark as installed

[ry215]

thanks a lot. Now that I have installed it, how do I use it? Because I don't see the options on the message toolbar.

[itsid]

well there is no button to show in editor's toolbar;
you'll have to add one

In post # 74 there is a gif you can use.
To do so, upload that gif to your forum/images/editor
and then edit
acp->custom vb Codes->hide
there you'll find an option to enter an imagepath like so:
images/editor/ed-hide.gif
(if you've choosen to use the picture mentioned above)
