Miscellaneous Hacks - Hide Quoting of Ignored Members

What is it?
----------------------------
This mod hides quotes of users in your ignore list. That is, if someone you're not ignoring quotes someone you are ignoring, the text of that quote will be hidden.

Option to enable/disable is under "Thread Display Options (showthread)".

Installation:
----------------------------
1) In the Product Manager in AdminCP, import the product XML file (product-kh99ignorequotes.xml).

2) Rebuild post cache (Maintenance -> Update Counters -> Rebuild Post Cache).

Uninstalling:
----------------------------
1) Uninstall the product from the Product Manager in the AdminCP.

2) Rebuild post cache (Maintenance -> Update Counters -> Rebuild Post Cache).

Notes:
----------------------------
1) Beta, has been tried out on version 4.1.5 but not extensively tested.

History:
----------------------------
0.91 (Sep 03, 2011) - Fixed issue with including usernames in SQL
0.90 (Aug 08, 2011) - Initial Release

Well, you could modify the kh99_iqts_bbcode_quote_ignore template so that the option to show it isn't available, like maybe:

<div id="kh99_iqts_toggle_{vb:raw containerid}_{vb:raw quoteid}" class="kh99_iqts_hidden kh99_iqts_hidden_{vb:raw userid}">{vb:rawphrase kh99_iqts_ignored}</div>
<div id="kh99_iqts_message_{vb:raw containerid}_{vb:raw quoteid}" class="message kh99_iqts_message_{vb:raw userid}">{vb:raw message}</div>

but then someone could still view the html source of the page to see it. Because of the way it works, there was no way to actually leave out the quote (well, of course it's possible but it would be a lot harder and probably couldn't be done with plugins). It works by assigning a separate CSS class to each quoted user on a page, and whether the class displays the quote or the "hidden" message isn't determined until after the template is rendered. But this is good enough for a lot of people who just don't want to have to look at anything posted by certain members.

Do I have to Rebuild post cache? Won't that effect my post count. We had to purge threads and posts due to it filling up our server so my users care about their post count. So if this still will work for all future posts then that works for me. but if I have to rebuild the post cache just to get it to work then I can't use it.

[kh99]

The post cache doesn't affect the user post count. It's a temporary database table that saves the displayed text for posts, so that less processing has to be done to display threads. When you install this product you don't have to rebuild the post cache, but if you don't, quotes in existing posts won't be hidden until the cache expires (I think the default is 7 days). When uninstalling this mod, I believe the cache must be deleted or rebuilt or else the quotes won't be displayed correctly.

When I wrote the instructions I said to use the "Rebuild Post Cache" because it's the only good way to handle it via the admincp. But another way to do it would be to use Execute SQL Query under Maintenance (if it's enabled in the config.php for your user), or use phpMyAdmin, to truncate the "postparsed" table. If I were going to release an update, I would just add code to the mod to truncate that table when installing/uninstalling, but I didn't think of that at the time.

Does anyone know if this works on 4.2.1 ?

[Kat-2]

Yes, I just updated, and tested it on 4.2.1, and it works.

[Bozza]

Seems to work well - thanks very much!

[Barcham]

Installed on 4.2.2 and it seems to work fine. This is a great mod that members on most boards would probably love to see installed. In fact, it should be part of Vbulletin to begin with!

Thanks a lot for this one!

[DemOnstar]

Testing this one too...

Quite a flurry on ignore related mods of late..
