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
'sid

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"

Well it works, it's just that you have to turn the ajax off within the mod's settings. When a person wants to view the hidden data they would have to refresh. The reason is because the security feature needs to be implemented.

Psionic is planning on porting his hide hack over very soon. It's got a lot more features than this mod too. I think I will just have to settle with that one if somebody can't figure out how to implement the security token on this mod.

Your submission could not be processed because a security token was missing or mismatched.

If this occurred unexpectedly, please inform the administrator and describe the action you performed before you received this error.

we r waiting for u to fix this problem.

Well, i am using VB 3.7.0 and installed Psionic hack, but let me tell you, it is very very limited.

i.e., you just have the option to count users posts as limit to view or not and it is not really what you want from a hide hack.

What you really want is a full hide hack like the one on this topic.

Hope that someone can port this one to 3.7. That would be a must.

Ok, guys, I think I've fixed the AJAX problem.

Uploaded the solution 15 minutes ago to my forum and some users have already told me that they got no more "missing security token" errors.

The solution is quite simple:

1. Edit the ajax-product-sids_hide_v0.3.5-vborg-en.xml
2. Look up the following line of code:

   unhide.send("do=whatever&p="+postid+"&all="+old);

3. Replace it with the next one:

   unhide.send("do=whatever&p="+postid+"&all="+old+"&securitytoken=" + SECURITYTOKEN);

4. Save the file
5. Reinstall the product

And that's it. Once the product has been reinstalled, the links associated with your "thank you" buttons will look like http://yourdomain/forumroot/post_thanks.php?do=post_thanks_add&p=452781&securi tytoken=a2a47806c680a2843a98da216896c82f1fae8288

Gosh... it was a real pain in the ass this problem

[dancue]

If this works I am going to kiss you!!

I'll let you know how it goes.

[dancue]

Yes!!! You are a genius!!!!

Also, you don't necessarily have to edit the xml file.

You can just make those changes to the sid_hide_head template.

[Aren]

Great!

Yes, the modification can be made on the template. If I tell you the truth, I just decided to open up the xml and look for any AJAX/POST request in there without looking at what it really was

[killerkraft]

Aren,

Does this hack works in a full 3.7 install ?

Or does it works just in upgraded forums ?
