Staff can Post hidden Posts · **Released**: 05-07-2004

If you have installed that Hack by Chen, you will already know what this Hack does.
If not i'll shortly explain: If you install this hack, your staff will be able to post hidden posts, which are just visible by other staffmembers. This can be usefull, if you are not sure, what to do with a thread, and want feedback by the other mods.

I have to say, that this is not an easy hack, so do not install it, if you are not familar with vB hacking, as i won't give much support.
I have put the basic instructions into the Installfile, which does everything needed.
The instructions in the advanced install file, are for those who have already installed this hack, and want to get some more features (like number of new hidden posts in the navbar and such things).

Have fun, we always have

Your'e right Xenon. Not your hack at all. It was another issue. Sorry to have troubled you.

Ignore - My fault

Briliant idea, but I am having a problem with the excecution.

I get the following error message:

Parse error: parse error, unexpected T_CONSTANT_ENCAPSED_STRING

Any thoughts as to what I am doing wrong?

FIXED!

The problem was with the original file. The unhacked code was:

Code:

'openclose' => iif($post['openclose'], HTML_CHECKED)

Once I added , to the end:

Code:

'openclose' => iif($post['openclose'], HTML_CHECKED),

Everything worked fine.

Just installed the advanced features. Brilliant Job.

Well done to Xenon and his team (Chen for his vb2 version of this Hack & Logician for finding a way to make it work with moderate posts enabled).

BTW. The install button doesn't work on Firefox on a Mac, so I have to switch to Netscape 7 to register my installs.

Strange :speechless:. I am running 3.0.3 and it works fine for me.

What is not working? Do you have an error message?

alqafelah · #**119** 09-19-2004, 02:00 PM

No, i have blank page !

i am sure for all steps!

thanx

@the Architect: hmm, i'm using firefox and the install button works perfectly for me.
Could it be a security setting or something on your site.
I know from several users that they don't have a problem like that with firefox

@algafelah: blank pages are most of the time, installing problems while doing the template changes.
try to revert you templates and then reinstalling the hack.
also just install the plain version at first.

And yes, it works on 3.0.3, as we have isntalled it on vb.org

hmm, I wonder what they are writing about us. :nervous:

Are your friends running on a Mac? They can be a little temperamental at times (but nothing compares to the power of duel G5s *composes self*) I am now browsing via Netscape and the install button appears ok.

Also I have encountered a number of different issues with vB (not vB.org but my own site) and various browsers. But I suspect this is the topic of another thread.

It is not a VB3 engine, just a parsed copy!
