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.

Ok that makes no sense what so ever, what would Microsoft have to do wiht that error?

It would have to do no more than myself. I have nothing to do with the error, so the same applies to Microsoft. And since I have nothing to do with the error and you posted here, you might as well ask Microsoft for support. Understand?

I see only the {param} Tag but not the hidden Text.

Thx for your help

I'm having the same problem...

Hidden Block (5 post(s) are required, you have 1067):
{param}

That's what it shows and when someone replies to the thread nothing happens/changes?

Is there a solution to this problem?

Thanks :up:

Hi, I installed Vs-Hide, i have a problem with it.

Everytime i am trying quick-edit or edit the post, when i press save post, <hide> content </hide> disappear, the content inside hide also disappear.

Is it a javascript error?

I did it back and fourth , redo, fresh install for around 5 times. Still the same problem.

If it is javascript problem, do i have to upload the whole edited clientscript folder, or just the respective files that i edited. Do i need to re-compress using Yui Compressor?

[bojiokia]

How do i solve this problem?

Fatal error: Using $this when not in object context in /home/tester/public_html/includes/adminfunctions_template.php(3717) : eval()'d code on line 1

You must turn on the tags.

Okay, I got the [hide-posts]Information[/hide-posts] to work... but how does one map the regular [hide] code to it? Also when a user clicks the "Hide" tag above here where you would type a reply it gives a weird code which doesn't seem to work...

Example:

 [HIDE = " Information " ][/HIDE]

Any guidance would be appreciated!
