Show Thread Enhancements - Hide BBCodes/Signatures From Guests/Users

Overview:

This product will allow you to decide what BBCode content you wish to hide from guests/users on your site. You can also choose to hide user signatures from guests/users too. Hidden content is replaced with a link to your registration page for guests, and a simple message for restricted usergroups. In posts, this link or message is placed inside a block element so that it stands out.

Guests will see the following:



Members of restricted usergroups/users that have not replied will see the following:



You are given the option to merge the defined list of BBCodes in the product "MarkFL: Enhanced View Forum Posts". This way, you may choose to define the list in one place and have both products hide the same BBCodes.

Updates:

Version 1.1:

• Now allows usergroups to be restricted from seeing the defined list of BBCodes and signatures.

Version 1.2:

• Posts containing the symbols "<" and/or ">" will now display correctly to those from whom BBCodes are being hidden.

Version 1.3:

• Fixed bug where the $vbulletin array need to be global for some users.
• Messages to guests/users now phrased to allow for translations.

Version 1.4:

• Added setting to allow hiding of BBCodes/Signatures from users until they reply to a thread.

Version 1.5:

• Added setting for "Active Forums" in which the product is active.
• Added separate usergroup selection for usergroups whose members must reply to a thread before the hidden BBCodes/signatures are revealed.

Version 1.6:

• Added setting to allow for internal links to be hidden.

Version 1.7:

• Added settings to allow individual threads/posts to be ignored by product.

Version 1.8:

• Fixed reported issue with inline attached images.

Version 1.8.1:

• Moved function to external script to avoid redeclaration error.

To Install:

1.) Download and extract the attached .zip file.

Upload the contents of the "upload" folder to your forum's root directory.

Note: If you have already installed "MarkFL: Enhanced View Forum Posts" v1.1 or higher, then you may skip this step, since both products use the same external PHP script.

2.) In AdminCP go to Plugins & Products -> Manage Products -> Add/Import Product.

Click on "Choose File" and browse to the product xml file that was packaged in the .zip file.

Click "Import"

You MUST set your settings to enable the mod. Each setting has an explanation of its use.

Welp, for some reason I can't get this mod to work. I uploaded what's required to the correct folder and edited the settings.

Doesn't matter what I do my forum ignores any attempt to hide BB Code or links/images from guests. Duh. Am I doing something wrong?

Without knowing more, I would have to come to your site to see what's going on. Please PM to me the credentials for a temporary admin account, and I will see if I can figure out what's going on there.

This is the mod that I was looking for! But I have a problem... It seems to not work in vBulletin 4.2.3.
I just hide Images and Urls to every one except the Admin and it doesn't work at all :S
Can you help me to solve this problem?
I will sent you a PM with my web page.
Thanks

Hello, Gerardo!

You would simply need to provide translations for the following 4 global phrases:

Strange behaviour on vBulletin 4.2.3.

BBcode specified in the "tag to hide" from guests works as expected.

But, it seems to arbitrarily block other bbcode as well, in particular img tags, from guests despite setting Usergroup setting being set to "none" - except images that have a title or alt tag.

[MarkFL]

I'm not getting that behavior...it blocks only the specified BBCodes for me. I would have to come to your site to try to figure out what you have going on there that is interfering.
