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 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.

For some reason, the formatting of my forums are terrible looking but only for the forums this modification is enabled in.

Anyone else having this issue? Is there a solution?

[Taurus1]

I am using the extended version on my 4.0.7 board, and the only thing that is strange is that whenever you hit the "Thanks" button, the images disappears, and only the links show. After refresh the images are back again. Is there a way to overcome this please?

Thanks!

[morrow]

Unfortunately, I am no longer using this mod. I was having an issue with the formatting and posted a message in the vision scripts forum. I waited over 24/hrs for a response and nothing. Typically I'd give a developer more time but after reading the issues the developer has with everyone here as well as those over there regarding the lack of support, I decided that I should request a refund through paypal.

The Dev actually refunded my money with no questions asked; this is a bit disheartning... I would have preferred it if he might have said, "let's try to fix this." Now if you're reading this, Psionic Vision... I'd like you to know that I think this product could have been a winner but you advertise the product with 3 months of support but from reading your forum and this forum, it would seem as if you never actually intend to fullfill the support portion of the contract. I'm not sure what country you're from but in the US that's called Bait and switch and it's illegal.

That said, Buyer Beware. It's clear to me that the person selling the extended version of this modification does not intend to support it. I've been a member here for 9 years or so and have never had an issue with anyone until now.

So sad ... finally found non-buggy (no by-pass reveal) HIDE mod, almost buyed Expanded version, but based on ppl comments here and on visionscripts forum ... it is DEAD

[MonsterDK]

Is there a way to remove the Thanks text and have a larger button in its place?
