New Posting Features - [hide] hack incl post thank you "addon"

UPDATE
sid's [hide] hack 0.3.5

Hi again,

I've tried my best to build a [hide] hack that will fit to to
the wonderful POST THANK YOU HACK

but for sure you can use it without, then it'll work if user replies to a post with hidden content

You can coose in acp to show hidden content to admins mods or users of a certain usergroup (if you have useradmins or something) too.

It will show up some hint that will let your users know what to do (thank, answer, or even nothing)
by now with some small text, soon with a set of images

BUT

• my english is way off what I want it to be, so please go ahead and edit the language file to your needs

NOW UPDATED

Thanks to Andreas of vbhacks-germany

• no hidden content visible in archive
• no php edits necessary no more
• kicked out bitfield-code
  
  and further
• no hidden content visible in printthread.php if not in showthread.php
• now with a set of small images showing up as hint
• and least updateurl in acp

have fun

cheers

ps Sorry for updating that fast

UPDATE 0.3.0
uninstall previous version before installing the update!
So, here's what you've all been waiting for *grin*
Tha ajaxified version of my hide hack.

BUT, this is rather bruteforcing ajax, so be warned
First: you could fully disable ajax for this script in ACP!
Now how it goes, it checks the length of pagecontent every three seconds (usersides, no worries about serverload here), and if it finds some new "content" like a filled thanks-box or a new post it calls all the posts that have hidden content (of this page only of course) and tries to refill the postbits,
this causes some sql-queries, almost as much as to totally reload the page itself.
AS soon as I find a more elegant method I will update again.
Nothing else was changed though since 2.6, only modified in handling the ajax-request.
If you encounter any problems with the ajax of this script, just deactivate,
no javascript at all then will be loaded from this script, and you'll have a "normal" version in hands.
(size is due to an pic-install-help-image )

UPDATE 0.3.5
reduced querys,
smarter installations code.

that's all

cheers

PS If you encounter any problems not seeing thanked posts hidden content after reload,
try this codechange

PPS Sorry, Support only for those who clicked "install"

yepp, me...
works properly;
just keep in mind that you'll have to check "ignore version" on installing languages.

Would like it to work with a Credit Mod such as VBCredits...instead of posting a ThankQ...any chance of that?

[itsid]

I'm sorry, .. nope.

this is great hack but it is only useful for texts or if the attachment is embedded in post with the attach tag I mean.

But is it possible that it hides the whole attachment box without adding the hide tag?
For instance I chose to enable this in forum "Updates" but I don't want to use the hide tag there...I want to attach the file and when someone replies or presses thanks then the attachment box shows otherwise it is hidden.

If that would be possible then this would be even better...plz try to solve this issue...or I will try to send you some ss to make it more clear if you need to, lemme know.

is there any chance of some edits i could make as ive just transfered from ipb to VB and the hide hack they use is [hide_me] not [hide] what would i have to edit so all the posts would still be hidden

would it be just the bb code to change or other bits

thanks

[itsid]

anwar,
well it's not that difficult to hide away the attachments,
but it's not that easy to let them show up on thanks/reply again.. not with ajax,
you'd have to reload the entire page, I don't like that thought.

On the other hand: Someone may not want to hide an attachment, and that's where it starts to stumble.
too much querys for too less needs just tell your users how to hide them if they want them to be hidden

Louise,
Just add another custom Tag
TAG : hide_me
replace : [hide]{param}[/hide]

no button image no option no nothing
that should do
