if() vBCode - Private Post Text Hack

Important News: This hack is now out of beta testing and is now in alpha.

What this hack does, is add a if() vB Code where you can enter formulas that if true, the user will be able to see the private text in the post, if it shows up false, its hidden from the users sight. This hack doesnt use any queries at all. Also the if() vB Code also supports other vB Codes inside of it.

The formulas can contain both functions and varibles such as $bbuerinfo[userid] or strtolower(), you can add a list of allowed functions to it and all others functions that arent allowed are removed from the code to prevent security issues.

All security issues and exploits have now been fixed. This hack has settings where you can allow all users to use it or just allow admins to use it. Theres also a setting that you can change to allow admins to see all the private text in posts even if they normaly cant see it.

The code part of the vB Code ( if(code) ) uses the same syntax as php script, so if you wanna check if a varible equals something, you must use == instead of =, also all varibles from $bbuserinfo also have there own varible, what i mean by this is that $bbuserinfo[username] is also $bbusername and $bbuserinfo[posts] is also $bbposts, with these specail varibles, it is optional to add a $ in front of it, so $bbusername and bbusername will both work.

Also theres a feature where admins can see the forumula that was used next to the text "Private Text:", it is shown is (code used here), other members will just see "Private Text:".

Examples of the If() vB Code:
[if($bbuserid>0)]Thank you for joining![/if]
[if(bbuserid>0)]Thank you for joining![/if]

[if($bbusername=="Admin")]Whats up?[/if]
[if(bbusername=="Admin")]Whats up?[/if]

[if($ourtimenow>=$post[dateline]+((7*24)*60*60))]Text To Display 1 week from this post[/if]

[if(bbuserid>0 and bbposts>100)]Keep up the posting [/if]

[if(bbusergroupid==6 or bbusergroupid==7)]Important Text[/if]

Thanks, if you have any problems with it or have any requests, feel free to ask.

Also note, if you wanna check something like some ones account name and so on, use a double = (==) instead of = or it will be true every time and show it.

[Slynderdale]

It uses the same syntax as php so you can have:
bbusername=="test"
bbusername!="test"

and so on
