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.

For all the guys who would have shown up the images in basic edition try this:

In template "bbcode_hposts" add at top:

<style>
.hidden{
       border:solid 0px; 
       background:#000000 url(http://your_path_to_imagefolder/misc/locked.gif) no-repeat;
       color:#FFFFFF;
       font-weight:bold;
       padding: 40px;
       text-align:center;
       width: 80%;
       }
.unhidden{
       border:solid 0px; 
       background:#000000 url(http://your_path_to_imagefolder/misc/unlocked.gif) no-repeat;
       color:#FFFFFF;
       font-weight:bold;
       padding: 40px;
       text-align:center;
       width: 80%;
       }
.alt3{
       background:#000000;
       border:1px inset;
     }
</style>

These are the css-styles for a box with black background and white font. If you like other colors, change the hex-value after "background" and "color" matching your style.

Next find:

<td class="alt2" style="border:1px inset">
			<div>$caption:</div>
			<div style="font-style:italic">
				<if condition="$canview">
					$message
				<else />
					$vbphrase[hidetag_accessdenied]
				</if>
			</div>
		</td>

and REPLACE with this:

                <td class="alt3">
			<div>$caption:</div>
			<div style="font-style:italic">
				<if condition="$canview">
					<div class="unhidden">$message</div>
				<else />
					<div class="hidden">$vbphrase[hidetag_accessdenied]</div>
				</if>
			</div>
		</td>

This should do the trick...

Make sure that when you copy the text to search for, you don't copy the spaces (tabs) on the first line of the text. Otherwise it might not find it.

As for the "I imported product and it does not show up", well, please make sure that you upload all files of the hack before you activate the product.

[motorola]

I found all text files and I have made the changes in the all instalation files,without this one ./clientscript/vbulletin_textedit.js but doesnt work.. I cant hide the text,and my forum dont load anymore,I deleted all files and my forum work again
Can you help me with this?

[Mr_Devlin]

You have to download a vBulletin-version enclosing uncompressed javascript-files. The regular download includes compressed files, which can't be edited in the way Psionic mentioned and recommended.

Its simple, read the instructions and follow them !
Where do you get stuck ?

@PsionicVision - i just got a great idea for your mod: You could make it that the HIDE button to be a PAYPAL button so the user must donate/pay before beeing able to download !

Could it be done ?

There are a few file edits that need to be done for the archive - please make sure you've done them.
