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.

[louis_chypher]

ref post #68.

I to just installed, had previous version loaded, this new version. I now receive the error:

Fatal error: Call to a member 

function on a non-object in /

home/content/b/b/d/xxxx/

html/forums/includes/

class_postbit.php(296) : eval

()'d code on line 44

Looking into class_postbit I find:

// execute hook
		($hook =& 

vBulletinHook::fetch_hook(

'postbit_display_complete')) ? 

eval($hook) : false;

that leads to:

$post['message'] = $hhr-

>parse_bbcode($post['message'

], $forum['forumid'], $thread

['threadid'], $post['postid'], 

$post['userid']);

I'm going to wait a few hours to recheck the installation, already did three rechecks without finding an issue.



I do wonder is there something from the previous install that I should have removed? I did a search for the word 'hide' in the php files that I modified in hopes of removing the traces of the old (older version) install.

Was wondering if someone could post the readme.html from the previous install so I can do a seek and eliminate to make sure the older version modifications has been completly removed?

[X-Jerry]

Wow, But I want you teach me how to change this:



===>>

Need not "You do not have sufficient rights to see the hidden data contained here." ( "Hide Image" Only ^__^) and the "Unhide Image":
Can i put it out side of the "hide frame" like the pic i show?
Thanks for your help!

@Psionic Vision

sorry to say this, we all now that you are a really master coder and I love your hacks and I use it about...long time, but.....

We missed this info in your Note:here on vb.org

you must say everybody befor they buy your Expanded Edition hack about the system requirements and that they need the ioncube_loaders_lin_x86 for linux systems.

Can you imagine that someone buy your hack on Windows Host and the webmaster refuse to install the ioncube_loaders ?

We missed the info that not only in the usergroups we need to activate the hack, but in each forums.

Make sure you've got the latest files uploaded. The object that is mentioned in the error is in the global_start.php, which you were supposed to update when you installed this version.

Feel free to modify bbcode_XXX templates to fit your needs.

What does it say under "System Requirements"? I believe it says "Ioncube Loader", but perhaps my English is failing me. Or, perhaps I should move the section higher.

The statistics are correct. In the expanded edition, you need to upload one single folder. Therefore, it is counted as one File Uploads operation.

As for the time, well... I can install the expanded edition within two minutes, so I wrote that.

[Settler]

is there a way to hide the "hide-text" in vbadvanced?

[akanevsky]

Yes, there certainly is, but not without hacking vBAdvanced.

[Settler]

when i will to enable the hack for a forum, i get this text

Warnung: mysql_real_escape_string() expects parameter 1 to be string, array given in /includes/class_core.php (Zeile 648)

where is the problem?

There is no reason to wait until later. Please download the latest package, open readme.html and follow the instructions. If done correctly, no problem will appear. This version of the hack has been tested on an unhacked vBulletin 3.6.0.
