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

I ran into another quirk, it seems. The line in the navbar says "View 0 New Hidden Posts" even though I have a hidden post. Is there something we need to add for that?

Actually, I have a nav bar quirk too.

On most pages it says "View 0 New Hidden Posts" (with the 0 changing to the number of unread hidden posts)

But on the search.php?do=getnew page it displays as "View New Hidden Posts".

This is irritating as I mostly on use the get new posts link, and then have to click on the hidden posts button to see if there are any hidden posts.

Also, I am not wild about the notification that a post is hidden. It might just be my custom style, but all there is is a little pending moderation button. I am guessing that the old BIG red text of This Post Is Hidden can be done, but I will have to code the change myself?

Thoughts and especially assistance with these issues would be appreciated.

cannot confirm this, it's working perfectly here

Yep, i just released a working version, i am not responsible for the design, you can add a big red text easily by adding a conditional to postbit template

as for the moderation queue, yeh i work on that, that's why it's still in beta

[theArchitect]

Thanks for your reply.

I wil just learn to live with the quirk and will add the conditional to the post bit.

Sorry, one other question. What does the Open thread tick box do?

From the code it should display as close thread (if the thread is open) and then open thread if the thread is closed. But on mine it is jammed on open thread and the bottom does nothing.

Once again, am I unique in having this quirk?

[Zachery]

can_moderate() is more useful, however it generates a query for all non adminitrators and smods.

Stefan, it looks like the part to remove it from validation is not working 100%.

@Zak: hence why it's in beta

Any hope to get it for the newreply and editpost, too?

Brad, any and all ideas are most welcome on this, sir.

@Bob: well on newreply, you can just add the same checkbox and it will work

on editpost is currently not planned, but maybe

Ok, great, thanks!

Don't you have it on editpost here? Or if we edit a post it stays hidden, so we really don't need it, with the inline moderation? Am I close?
