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.

That is a phrase that vBulletin users for other buttons too.. If you change that phrase, you'd change other buttons too. So, why don't you just post an announcement?

[hypnoticpimp]

[akanevsky]

As I already suggested to some (and it helped) - clean your browser cache and cookies please and try again.

As the forum grows, people will miss the announcement. And not everyone reads the FAQ before they dive in and start using the feature. I have already let my mods know that they need to spend the next few weeks showing people how it works, but I think that a phrase that pops up on que will be more effective. If it can't be done then we will just go with announcements, an FAQ, and mentioning it several times until other users get the hang of it and begin mentoring the next generation of new users. Wishful thinking, is all.

ok i did what you said, i can now login , then i click on reissue button, and downloaded zips for both programs i bought, from you, battle and hide hack, then uploaded it back to my server. and now i get this message when going to my forums index.php page

vBulletin Message
The page is temporarily unavailable (ErrorCode: vS-LiC-01). Please check back later


Never got that before> so what now??
The only think left that i have to do , is download the .key php file. for both products, but on your annoucements, it says once i go to forums it will redirect me to generate new key, but this time it doesnt, it gives me that message
