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.

So... Any replies? I need to know whether the new version works correctly. To me, it does, but who knows - maybe I left out something in the manual (as it always happens

)...

The only problem i encountered was when you use the hide hack it display hide: with no writing like you must have 5 post to view post, it's blank with the hide only, so i reverted back to old one since i never had any problem with it.

Code:

example hide:

akanevsky · #**148** 11-26-2005, 03:08 PM

That problem is irrelevant to the hack, because there is nothing like just "hide:" in the code. Try again, following the manual.

you asked a question to the post above so i answered i did follow the manuel carefully to what was written. the hack is fine just when you use the hide feature it leaves a blank statement the only thing that is wriiten, it said hide nothing else, unlike the old version something is written to let the user know what they have to do to see the beyond the post..

as stated since theres nothing wrong with the original one i'm leave it as is...and not upgrade..

akanevsky · #**150** 11-26-2005, 03:32 PM

If I were you, I'd install the hack and then provide a demo of it "not working". So that maybe I could figure out what's wrong (if anything is)... As you just revert back, there is no way I can fix the problem, because I cannot recreate it on my site.

WAR · #**151** 11-28-2005, 04:03 PM

If I just wanted to use the [showtogroup] functionality of this hack, could I eliminate some of the file edits?
