Mini Mods - [DBTech] Staff Only Hidden Posts v1 (vB4)

DragonByte Technologies are proud to present Staff Only Hidden Posts v1: Staff Only Hidden Posts allows Administrators, Super Moderators, Forum Moderators, and any additional usergroups that has moderation privileges, to post/view hidden posts.


Why Staff Only Hidden Posts?

It is a neat tool for staff to post in a thread but not allow everyone to see what they posted. These posts are only viewable by the aforementioned usergroups. This Mod uses the vBulletin moderation feature to achieve this. The post however will not show up in the Moderation Queue in the Admincp or Modcp. It is fully phrased so you can edit it to your languages.

To have a different background color for hidden posts follow this.

In postbit_legacy find:

<div class="postbody">

Change to:

<div class="postbody <vb:if condition="$show['moderated']">moderated</vb:if>">

Then add some CSS to additional.css like:

.postbitlegacy div.postbody.moderated {
background: {vb:stylevar sohp_background};

Then to set the background color go to stylevars, under DragonByteTechMods look for sohp_background and you can set the color there.

What a great idea Ozzy! This will come in handy.
Thank you for this!

[DragonByte Tech]

Glad to be of service.

[CharlieDelta]

Ozzy, one question.
I have some registered members listed as moderators of one specific forum. Will they be able to see all hidden posts, if at all, or just ones in the forum they moderate?

[DragonByte Tech]

If they are in the Moderator group, they will only be able to see the posts in the forums they moderate. If they are Super Moderators, they will be able to see all hidden posts

Giving it a go now

Worked apart from when clicking on the phrase "Veiw 2 hidden posts" next to my user name, it just took me to a blank white page.

The url looked like:
http://www.myurl.net/search.php?do=findhiddenposts

I'm using vB4.1.9

Also when using the Go Advanced I'd like to move the part which you tick to hide the post.
What code is used for this part, it also has a tick box to the left of the text :
(the tick box) Hide This Post?

Their is a known issue with the click to view posts that I am trying to sort out.

Their is no easy way for you to move the Hide This Post in either editor. But if you wish to try you can look at the file dbtech/staffonlyhidddenposts/hooks/process_templates_complete and the code that is used to insert it is on line 22

But apart from that a very good mod
