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 Adam,
"No code has to be inserted here" would be the text that may appear...
But that only if you're running any old version of the hack
either change that sentence to [hide]{param}[/hide] (including the tags) in your custom vB Codes settings,
or update to hack v0.3.5* (uninstall previous version first)

'sid

*recommended because of the improvements (less sql queries)

@itsid

it looks great.......just installed it on a test board......thank you for adding the button

just one question
when i click on the hide button i am getting a pop up script saying

Please enter the option for your [HIDE] tag

is this normal ....? and what option should i put there?
and what should i do to remove it.......i only need the hide tag without options?

hint
could not do it with the instructions in the zip file..........your post NO 201 on page 14 was the best guide for it
i would suggest adding your post 201to the instruction ....it made it very easy

[stinger2]

@itsid
sorry to write again.........but is this pop up appearing to me normal ? or is it a leftover from another hack........it is driving me .......!

[itsid]

Never seen that before.

Maybe from another Hack...
or a messed up "Custom vB Codes" option
I don't know.

I'll try to find out

'sid

[EDIT]
first make sure, that you have the correct vb Codes settings

Title : hide
Tag : hide
Replacement code : [hide]{param}[/hide]
Example : [hide]Some Text[/hide]
use{option} : NO
Buttonimage : /images/editor/ed-hide.gif (if you want to have the button I made and if it's in the editorbuttonfolder )

Maybe settings were replaced by another hide-hack you tried to install (or something)

[stinger2]

you are absolutly right .my mistake ..i had the following set to yes


use{option} : YES

i made it NO and every thing is ok.....thanks a lot for your support....i really hope you add this text also to the installation note...plus your explanation in post 201.together ...your hack will be very easy to install


EDIT
can you please check it out what happens with you if you change the options to yes.........because if that is from another hack....i must remove the bbcode......heheh.and i dont know how to remove it and where to look for ..
thanks again

[itsid]

well, if set to yes you will surely get the popup (if javascript isn't disabled)

But the hack itself sets the options correctly, so there's no need to say that you have to alter the settings.

I don't know what changed yours, but I think it was you, otherwise you'd have found other entries changed, too.
No worries, that happens (one nightshift to much and all concentration is gone )

you are absolutly right.....AGAIN

thanks sid....

[stinger2]

sorry to bother you again

the hack worked great at the begining.but later i found the same error as marotichat

when i go to another post and come back ..i find the contents hidden again...and there is no thanks button because it is already thanked.....

i have pm.ed you with a username and a password...plus a link to a thread where you can see that that user had thanked the post ..yet..the content are still hidden

[Hornstar]

Great to see you updating this as well, nice work.
