Staff can Post Hidden Posts

Alright, this Modification is a port of my 3.0.0 Version here.

Short description:

This mod allows you and your moderators, to post hidden posts, which will be visible just to your staff, but not to the users, which will allow you to have comfortable conversations about an issue directly within a thread, withoput users noticing.

There is no more to say. The modification is installed here since a long time and no problems appeared, but i still consider it as a beta version, right now, until usertest have approved it as well

Enjoy

So we don't need to have any plug-in code for the close thread to work that you have with the hide post template code?

Also, will that code work in the showthread template, too? If I do it in the qr template, it goes above the quote and sig boxes, unless I did something really worng.

as long as it's within the <form> tags it will work.

it's nothing special i have added here

Will this also work with the editpost template?

I'd suggest moving the bit of code to below the regular options, as $threadinfo[open] is not avaible in the showthread_quickreply template

find in the showthread template.

<label for="qr_quickreply"><input type="checkbox" name="quickreply" value="1" id="qr_quickreply" accesskey="w" tabindex="4" />$vbphrase[quote_message_in_reply]</label>
						</div>

Add after

<if condition="is_member_of($bbuserinfo, 5,6,7)"><fieldset class="fieldset" style="margin:$stylevar[formspacer]px 0px 0px 0px"><legend>Moderatory Options</legend>	<div>
	<label for="cb_hidepost" style="float:$stylevar[left]"><input type="checkbox" name="hidepost" value="1" id="cb_hidepost" />Hide Post?</label>
	<div style="float:$stylevar[right]">
		<label for="cb_openclose"><input type="checkbox" name="openclose" value="1" id="cb_openclose" /><if condition="$threadinfo['open']">Close<else />Open</if> Thread</label>$threadinfo[open]
	</div>
</div></fieldset></if>

Seems to just flag posts as moderated.. which isn't really a desired result

Thank you, sir.

Can we use:

<if condition="can_moderate()">

instead of:

<if condition="is_member_of($bbuserinfo, 5,6,7)">

Which is better?

And can we get this to work in the editpost like it is?

The can_moderate() function will only allow moderators that have mod provlideges for the forum there set to.

If usera is modding foruma and is view forumb, then usera will not beable to use the hack because he is modding forumb.

can_moderate() grants the following: All Admins, All SuperMods, and All Mods in said forum. At least this is how i belive it works as I've been using that for alot of my hacks on my forums and had no complants yet lol

Thanks for the explanation, sir. Now it makes a little more sense. As far as the template edit for the navbar for this hack, since it is on the forum home, can it use the can_moderate() function or do I need to change it from what Stefan has in the instructions?
