Show Thread Enhancements - Hide BBCodes/Signatures From Guests/Users

Overview:

This product will allow you to decide what BBCode content you wish to hide from guests/users on your site. You can also choose to hide user signatures from guests/users too. Hidden content is replaced with a link to your registration page for guests, and a simple message for restricted usergroups. In posts, this link or message is placed inside a block element so that it stands out.

Guests will see the following:



Members of restricted usergroups/users that have not replied will see the following:



You are given the option to merge the defined list of BBCodes in the product "MarkFL: Enhanced View Forum Posts". This way, you may choose to define the list in one place and have both products hide the same BBCodes.

Updates:

Version 1.1:

• Now allows usergroups to be restricted from seeing the defined list of BBCodes and signatures.

Version 1.2:

• Posts containing the symbols "<" and/or ">" will now display correctly to those from whom BBCodes are being hidden.

Version 1.3:

• Fixed bug where the $vbulletin array need to be global for some users.
• Messages to guests/users now phrased to allow for translations.

Version 1.4:

• Added setting to allow hiding of BBCodes/Signatures from users until they reply to a thread.

Version 1.5:

• Added setting for "Active Forums" in which the product is active.
• Added separate usergroup selection for usergroups whose members must reply to a thread before the hidden BBCodes/signatures are revealed.

Version 1.6:

• Added setting to allow for internal links to be hidden.

Version 1.7:

• Added settings to allow individual threads/posts to be ignored by product.

Version 1.8:

• Fixed reported issue with inline attached images.

Version 1.8.1:

• Moved function to external script to avoid redeclaration error.

To Install:

1.) Download and extract the attached .zip file.

Upload the contents of the "upload" folder to your forum's root directory.

Note: If you have already installed "MarkFL: Enhanced View Forum Posts" v1.1 or higher, then you may skip this step, since both products use the same external PHP script.

2.) In AdminCP go to Plugins & Products -> Manage Products -> Add/Import Product.

Click on "Choose File" and browse to the product xml file that was packaged in the .zip file.

Click "Import"

You MUST set your settings to enable the mod. Each setting has an explanation of its use.

Yes, quite a few actually.

[scotty]

hm.

according to the error message, there might be something in the custom_bbcodes (line #0 "append_custom_tags()"):

Call to a member function query_read_slave() on null on line 279 in /local/sites/sitehtml/includes/class_bbcode.php
#0 /local/sites/sitehtml/includes/class_bbcode.php(241): vB_BbCodeParser->append_custom_tags()

#3 /local/sites/sitehtml/showthread.php(1097): vB_Postbit->construct_postbit(Array)

any idea?

Awesome Mod. Thanks.

I uploaded the hidebbcodesfromguests folder to my root folder and imported the product file. I'm trying to hide IMG code from guests, but it isn't working . I have unregistered / not logged in users selected. Can you let me know if I've done anything wrong?

[MarkFL]

Okay, try updating with the attacched .XML file and let me know if that works.

SOME HELP .

I needed this for a different reason, that a minor change to this mod made possible:

I have a premium membership system on my forum, where those that are in the Premium secondary usergroup are allowed to view videos, etc. that are displayed with custom bb codes.
Everybody else, should see a message explaining that they need to join the Premium usergroup to view the content.

As this mod does the opposite, I needed to change the code to make it work for me. With the change, it disables the named bbcodes everywhere but, for those who are members of the premium additional usergroup in the given forums.

This means that normal members see the error message, which I changed to tell them to buy a subscription, and members of the premium usergroup can now see the bbcode (videos, etc.)

After chatting with Mark about this and looking closely at the code, I was able to make this work with just a minor change to the product file and reinstalling it.

Find:

if ($vbulletin->options['markfl_hbfg_active'] AND array_intersect(explode(',', $foruminfo['parentlist']), explode(',', $vbulletin->options['markfl_hbfg_forums'])) AND !in_array($threadinfo['threadid'], array_map('trim', explode(',', $vbulletin->options['markfl_hbfg_threadsignore']))))
{
                if ($show['guest'] OR is_member_of($vbulletin->userinfo, explode(',', $vbulletin->options['markfl_hbfg_addgroups'])))
                {
                                $show['markfl_hbfg_bbcodes'] = 1;
                }

Replace with:

if ($vbulletin->options['markfl_hbfg_active'] AND array_intersect(explode(',', $foruminfo['parentlist']), explode(',', $vbulletin->options['markfl_hbfg_forums'])) AND !in_array($threadinfo['threadid'], array_map('trim', explode(',', $vbulletin->options['markfl_hbfg_threadsignore']))))
{
                if ($show['guest'] OR is_member_of($vbulletin->userinfo, explode(',', $vbulletin->options['markfl_hbfg_addgroups'])))
                {
                                $show['markfl_hbfg_bbcodes'] = 0;
                }
                else
                {
                                $show['markfl_hbfg_bbcodes'] = 1;
                }

Or simply use the attached file. Important, this changes the use of the mod, now allowing bbcodes in specific locations, it is the only way I found to do it.

Usage:
BBCode Tag Content To Hide From Guests: Give the mods that are to be activated. In my case they were the custom mods: audiop,videomp4p,videomp4vttp

Active Forums: Mark all the forums that contain premium content that use the above bbcodes.

Usergroup(s) From Which To Hide BBCodes: Set only the usergroups that are ALLOWED to use the BBCodes. e.g. Premium usergroup.

Hide BBCodes From Users Until They Reply? No Users

Usergroups Required To Reply: All

The remaining fields remain empty.

I also changed the phase displayed to:

This content is reserved for premium members only. Please obtain a premium subscription to view this content.

This is working perfectly in vb 4.2.5.
I have enclosed some images of how it works. Regular members see the blocked message while members that have Premium status can play the content - great!

Enjoy and thanks to Mark for his excellent work that just needed a little tweak.
