Mini Mods - [DBTech] Staff Only Hidden Posts v1 (vB4)

DragonByte Technologies are proud to present Staff Only Hidden Posts v1: Staff Only Hidden Posts allows Administrators, Super Moderators, Forum Moderators, and any additional usergroups that has moderation privileges, to post/view hidden posts.


Why Staff Only Hidden Posts?

It is a neat tool for staff to post in a thread but not allow everyone to see what they posted. These posts are only viewable by the aforementioned usergroups. This Mod uses the vBulletin moderation feature to achieve this. The post however will not show up in the Moderation Queue in the Admincp or Modcp. It is fully phrased so you can edit it to your languages.

What does 'Marking As Installed' do ?

* It helps you to stay on top of updates - members who have installed modifications will be notified by us whenever new updates are available.

* For security issues - vbulletin.org will contact all members who have installed a modification whenever a security issue is brought to their attention.

* Marking a modification as installed also helps us know how many people are using our work, giving us extra incentive to provide more features and new modifications.

We appreciate the support!

  • Toggle plugin on or off
  • Option to show notification in header

To have a different background color for hidden posts follow this.

In postbit_legacy find:

<div class="postbody">

Change to:

<div class="postbody <vb:if condition="$show['moderated']">moderated</vb:if>">

Then add some CSS to additional.css like:

.postbitlegacy div.postbody.moderated {
background: {vb:stylevar sohp_background};

Then to set the background color go to stylevars, under DragonByteTechMods look for sohp_background and you can set the color there.

*Un-Installed*

Will wait for the search to be fixed, as this modification isn't really workable until that time.

@DragonByte
Don't you think that instead of flooding the org with new Modifications, you should get the ones you already have working right out of the box and tested so they do work first.

Their are multiple coders at DragonByte Tech, those coders released some mods today, I am the coder for this mod and I did not release anything. I am working on a fix for this but it is proving to be stubborn. I will continue to search for a viable solution to the issue.

I am using version 4.1.9 and in my thread I cannot seem to find where you can hide the post, anyone fill me in with where the option is to hide posts :P?

[DragonByte Tech]

In the quick reply box it is right below Show Your Signature.

In the advanced editor it is in the Additional Options right below Show Your Signature.

Still a month after this mod was put out for us, there is still no fix.
