New Posting Features - [hide] hack incl post thank you "addon"

UPDATE
sid's [hide] hack 0.3.5

Hi again,

I've tried my best to build a [hide] hack that will fit to to
the wonderful POST THANK YOU HACK

but for sure you can use it without, then it'll work if user replies to a post with hidden content

You can coose in acp to show hidden content to admins mods or users of a certain usergroup (if you have useradmins or something) too.

It will show up some hint that will let your users know what to do (thank, answer, or even nothing)
by now with some small text, soon with a set of images

BUT

• my english is way off what I want it to be, so please go ahead and edit the language file to your needs

NOW UPDATED

Thanks to Andreas of vbhacks-germany

• no hidden content visible in archive
• no php edits necessary no more
• kicked out bitfield-code
  
  and further
• no hidden content visible in printthread.php if not in showthread.php
• now with a set of small images showing up as hint
• and least updateurl in acp

have fun

cheers

ps Sorry for updating that fast

UPDATE 0.3.0
uninstall previous version before installing the update!
So, here's what you've all been waiting for *grin*
Tha ajaxified version of my hide hack.

BUT, this is rather bruteforcing ajax, so be warned
First: you could fully disable ajax for this script in ACP!
Now how it goes, it checks the length of pagecontent every three seconds (usersides, no worries about serverload here), and if it finds some new "content" like a filled thanks-box or a new post it calls all the posts that have hidden content (of this page only of course) and tries to refill the postbits,
this causes some sql-queries, almost as much as to totally reload the page itself.
AS soon as I find a more elegant method I will update again.
Nothing else was changed though since 2.6, only modified in handling the ajax-request.
If you encounter any problems with the ajax of this script, just deactivate,
no javascript at all then will be loaded from this script, and you'll have a "normal" version in hands.
(size is due to an pic-install-help-image )

UPDATE 0.3.5
reduced querys,
smarter installations code.

that's all

cheers

PS If you encounter any problems not seeing thanked posts hidden content after reload,
try this codechange

PPS Sorry, Support only for those who clicked "install"

Great hack, works perfectly!

I just noticed that when you rebuild the post cache system all the code dissapears off the forum so you have to edit and save. Only then it will reappear. Has anyone else experienced this problem?

If this uses post cache, then what is visible to one user may not be necessarily hidden from another *even if it should*.

[itsid]

Well psionic, you're right, but it doesn't use postcache

You'll only find the hide-bbtags in postparsed

Greek,
"all the code dissapears" is somewhat global, and if it's ALL the code (all b, img, i and whatevertags) why do you think this problem is due to this hack?
this hack doesn't use the postcache system, it has to be parsed every single pageload.

Im pretty convinced that is the problem I did it once then I got pms that the code was gone. I went clicked edit the code was their but it was not showing until I clicked save. Just to be sure I went I did post cache again and saw the same thing happen. Did it a third time which was today and the same thing happen. So yes its affecting this hack... The easiest way to show you if you think Im lying is to come on my forum and Ill do the post cache while you are their. You can see the code before I do it and I after I do it....

[bigM]

Thanks a lot! This is great hack!

[itsid]

Greek slowly.. I never said, that you were lying (why should I)
I just don't understand your problem not even yet..

You'd clerared postcache and what code was gone then? only the parsing from the hide tag (what seems to be somewhat very unusual because it is not stored in postparsed table) or all the other html of all other tags and only hide tags are parsed or is none of the text parsed at all and all bbcodes are simply shown as such?
for example, you'd best take a screenshot (simply push the print-button on your keyboard and then paste to any imageeditor)

And I still don't understand why you think this relys on my hack and not on any other or any setting you've made in vb itself, or even a bug or something.
I've tried to reproduce your error and cleared my postcache, and as soon as i reload my page all bbcodes are perfectly show up in full html incl. the hide-hack. (reload.. not resave)
Do me a favour and fully uninstall (not only disable) my hide hack and clear postcache again to see what's happening, and if there is any difference then (well except unparsed hide-tags of course) let me know.
Otherwise please try the same with every installed hack, to see what hack is causing this error and ask the one who is responsible.
If you have uninstalled every hack and still have this error, please ask at vbulletin.com

I'm sorry Greek, but I still don't believe that this error you have is due to my hack.
