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.

[akanevsky]

PLEASE REPLY SOON because my site isnt working until u accept the payment

Um... I'm just curious. Since you have posted this nonsense in public, what does your site have to do with my accepting the payment? You don't even have the hack before I do what you asked, so how can your site be affected by it?

Hi, Psionic

I've updated our vBulletin release to 3.7.2 and make all the necessary changes.
If I load our Site with an empty cache the thanks.gif are not showing so our user are not able to see tha THX Replay Button.
If I swich the forum style to another and come back to the first loadet style and thread I can see the thanks.gif and the THX Replay button is now on the well know place.

In the first instange our user can't see the Thx REPLAY Button.
After swiching the style the button is now visible.

Does anybody have any clou, why?

Thanks

[akanevsky]

What does THX Replay button have to do with this hack? :S

[mrahul]

in steps for uncompressed version, we don't have that code on our file what could be done ?
in vbulletin text.js
is this one a necessary to make the hack work ?

[akanevsky]

It is not necessary, however you ain't getting the popup message without editing that file. Please look carefully the "this is for 3.6, that is for 3.7" notes, and search for the RIGHT ONE. It's different from 3.5 to 3.6, and from 3.6 to 3.7.

what kind of pop up message ?
ya I am checking for 3.7 some of the edits are same for all the versions like the one I have mentioned above

[mrahul]

this is an un-cached template : hidetag_toolbar_buttons ?

[akanevsky]

what kind of pop up message ?

The one with "enter parameters here". For the hide tag, the parameter is the number of posts. For the showtogroups tag, the parameter is the list of usergroups.

Without that edit, it's also going to insert and without the "=xxx" at the end of the opening tag. As a result, the showtogroups tag won't work at all, and HIDE will always be set to 5 posts (or whatever you set in the admincp).

So if you don't mind... Please contact me via pm so that I can tell you where to send the textedit.js file (so that I can take a look at it). And also, which minor release of vBulletin 3.7 is it for?

this is an un-cached template : hidetag_toolbar_buttons ?

Wow, that's a major problem. I'm sure your site is going to crash because of one uncached templates. To be serious, here's a fix:

In the Hide Hack Resurrection plugin at cache_templates hook, find:

// bbcode templates

add above:

'hidetag_toolbar_buttons',

That should fix it.

Hi, i have Installed the Hack on the forum, but i have the following issues:

I have problems with the hack not showing the thanks given icon and info below the user information displayed on Thread / Replies, just the Thanks Received are shown:



But this is shown on the member stadistic:



I have double and triple check the modification on the files, upload everything to the correct folder, and nothing, i have uninstalled and installed again the application and nothing help, what could be causing this issue? which template should i check?

On the other hand, i have tried to set the Super Administrators Group as (Can always see hidden conten to NO), and they still are able to do so, is it possible to manage this?

My site is www.zonablackberry.com
