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.

Problem with Slow queries killing Mysql.

The hack need to be rewritten to do a better performance and be nice with the Mysql, the slow queries just point to the hack and the server load hits the skies.

sample of the slow queries log:

# Time: 090423 15:08:23
# User@Host: xxxxx_xxxxx[xxxxx_xxxxx] @ localhost []
# Query_time: 45 Lock_time: 0 Rows_sent: 2 Rows_examined: 1000521
use zonabb_foro;

SELECT thanks.dateline, thread.title, post.postid, user.userid, user.username
FROM thanks as thanks
LEFT JOIN post as post ON (post.postid = thanks.postid)
LEFT JOIN thread as thread ON (thread.threadid = post.threadid)
LEFT JOIN user as user ON (user.userid = thanks.userid)
WHERE post.userid = 27650
ORDER BY thanks.dateline DESC LIMIT 10;

# Time: 090423 15:19:40
# User@Host: xxxxx_xxxxx[xxxxx_xxxxx] @ localhost []
# Query_time: 15 Lock_time: 0 Rows_sent: 10 Rows_examined: 499579

SELECT thanks.dateline, thread.title, post.postid, user.userid, user.username
FROM thanks as thanks
LEFT JOIN post as post ON (post.postid = thanks.postid)
LEFT JOIN thread as thread ON (thread.threadid = post.threadid)
LEFT JOIN user as user ON (user.userid = thanks.userid)
WHERE post.userid = 24506
ORDER BY thanks.dateline DESC LIMIT 10;

I hope the developer takes the time to optimize and solve this critical issue

In my opinion, this coder should be removed from the site. Their attitude towards support is screw you, fix it yourself. After paying for the expanded version I have had nothing but problems and 0 support. Do yourself a favor, do NOT use this until these folks change their attitude towards those that download and install this mod.

[Kolbi]

Is there an alternative Hide-system?
