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"

[itsid]

Well, because it is a language file and no product nor plugin.
So import that via Phrasemanager not productmanager

Anyone got the images to show in 3.6.4 ?
I'd be interested to know how you did it.

Great hack BTW itsid

[Greek76]

I dont see the test in any of them. Which one should I be looking for to edit?

[itsid]

Greek76,
open up phrasemanagement -> search for phrases and type: sid_hide (search for phrasename)
you will be shown 13 Phrases in GLOBAL phrases.
these are shown up your forum (all others are from the admin control panel )
edit the ones called sid_hide_img_xxx to edit the text (or images) shown up in showthread.php
or the ones named sid_hide_txt_xxx to edit the phrases shown up in printthread.php.

TTG,
exactly as in any 3.6.2
Upload the images (en_hide_xxx.gif) to forumroot/images/ (no subdirectory)
import the xml attached to post#159 via Phrasemanager to your language (do not create new language) and make sure you've checkmarked "ignore version"
and then, if hack is enabled and not disabled in the specific forum it'll show up the images

'sid

PS please everybody, if you use the hack, mark it as installed, thank you

[TTG]

thanks itsid .. finally got it to work

hi,
plz will you help me i want to add a button for the hide i mean a bbcode shown in the tools like this (bold) that when member press on it it will add text i want to add a tool for the hide button so please well u tell me how to do this???????????????

and for the images still didnt appear i dont know how to fix it please tell me how?????????!!!!!!!!!!!!

[itsid]

Sure..
there's a button somewhere in this thread, I think in post #74
just rightclick and download it.
then put in in your images/editor folder and you can add it by simply editing the custom bbCode that you'll find in ACP.
(You'll see yourself if you're there )

About the images:
If you did what I told you to, you will have to see the images.
But let me make it easy:
Checklist
1) open ftp-client and browse your forum-root then open images-folder
check if there are the images en_hide_xxx.gif (there will have to be four of them)
--if not UPLOAD images from the english folder of the zip to this directory

2) open your admin control center and got to phrasemanger.
search for phrases containing sid_hide_img in the phrasename
(also there will have to be four of them)
check if you have an html imagetag in the phrase-content <img src="images/en_hide_xxx.gif ...
--if not IMPORT the xml you'll find in post#159 via importphrases as mentioned above

Now reload any thread containing a hide-tagged post (it must be hidden to you, or you'll never see any image for sure)
If it is not hidden:
edit settings of hide tag in acp -> vb-options
deactivate : show to mods, show to admins, show to usergroup, show thanked, show posted
go and check thread again.
revert hide - settings again

the simple install of this hack is just great......could not say no more...just a suggestion since most of us are not so professional with codes

if the button is built in the hack itself...and you can chose image or phrase from the option it will make the hack a real hit success......can you consider that?
