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 3.5.x - 3.8.x 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.

That does not look like anything that could be caused by this hack. Most likely the version of the file you are uploading is not the original.
Anyway, please ask support questions for expanded edition at visionscripts.com.

i cant understand what for this money goes back to me?

Name and email you sign up with must match name and email on the paypal account.
The declared country must also match the actual country.

[soge]

now is all ok.names and e mails and country is estonia like in paypal.so,all things ok now.money is again sent to u.go and check your paypal and hope thistime isnt any problems.
NB!country was early already correct.

[soge]

i have licence now.but cant download from page.it asks somekind of password and username.and i maded in visionscript thread with this problem yesterday.but still got no answer.

[akanevsky]

An answer may take up to 24 hours. The password and username are the ones you specified during registration.

Seems i just wasted my time installing and checking this hack. 99.9% of my users have well over 5 posts, 85% have over a thousand posts and others have less than 50 posts. If i set the number of posts to 60 then everyone with over 60 posts can view the thread...

What was the point of posting this hack here ??????

Uninstalling it

If it's not useful to you, it is useful to someone else. Perhaps you just don't understand how to use it correctly. Also, there is such thing as a description of the hack, and it is available in the first post. I recommend you read those before you install hacks.
