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.

I performed a complete re-install of this product mod on my vB 4.0.7 and the text is now hidden when I select "reply with quote". Actually the hidden text is replaced with ***hidden text*** in bold, and I can live with that. I'm not sure what I missed before.

OK, I figured it out! The situation that causes the text to not be hidden occurs when the option information is not included in the tag. For example, [hide]***hidden stuff***[/hide] will work and only the groups set as the default in the control panel can see it, but if anyone selects Reply With Quote the hidden text will be revealed. However, if the tag is written out completely as [hide='5,6,7']***more hidden stuff***[/hide] then it works properly, even when quoted. The same is true with the [showtogroups] tag. It is not case sensitive, but it does require the options to be specified. Which leads to the next big issue...

Now if I can only figure out how to make this mod default the group numbers in the HIDE and SHOWTOGROUPS buttons in the editor.

I tested this on vBulletin 4.0.7 and it does strip out the text when you use just [hide] a [/hide].

Did you try Reply With Quote? It fails consistently on mine when the options are not included. I'm going to check the install again, but I think the problem lies in the regex in vS_HHR_Engine.php and that won't have anything to do with the install. Since it works with the options included that means it is properly going through the hooks to the engine. I'm going to have a few beers and debug the regex to see why it isn't matching without the options.

I could always wipe out my whole site and start over with a fresh install of vB and only this mod, but I know I will be in the same place. I've already disabled all the other mods with no change. It isn't practical for me to include the options to list the authorized forums as the list is quite long. Also, if the original poster sees the entire list of authorized forums and can monkey around with that list. That kinda defeats the whole concept of security for this mod.

GOT IT!

Find at line 685 in vS_HHR_Engine.php:

PHP Code:


			
        if (!($purpose == 'dopost' AND $show['toolbar_showtogroups_button']))
        {
            $message = preg_replace("/\[(" . $this->tags['SHOWTOGROUPS'] . ")=(&quot;|\"|'|)([0-9,]+)\\2\](.*)\[\/\\1\]/siU", $replacement, $message);
        }

Replace with:

PHP Code:


			
        if (!($purpose == 'dopost' AND $show['toolbar_showtogroups_button']))
        {
            // hack trying to fix HIDE without options
            $message = preg_replace("/\[(" . $this->tags['SHOWTOGROUPS'] . ")\](.*)\[\/\\1\]/siU", $replacement, $message);
            $message = preg_replace("/\[(" . $this->tags['SHOWTOGROUPS'] . ")=(&quot;|\"|'|)([0-9,]+)\\2\](.*)\[\/\\1\]/siU", $replacement, $message);
        }

The regex was not going to match on to the tag without the options included. I basically duplicated the function of the HIDE-POSTS match above it at line 662. Works great now.

Now to figure out the toolbar button prompt issue. The provided instructions are incorrect and lead to a dead-end.

On my vB 4.0.7 system the hidden text is properly dealt with in the mouse hover situation. It works as expected.

bigrover · #**160** 10-22-2010, 12:58 PM

If you want to have the mod use the configured defaults rather than prompt for options when the button in the editor is pushed, consider the following changes.

Go to your plugin manager and edit HHR: Load Editor Buttons (E/2). The variable of interest is twoparams. If it is set to '1' then the button will prompt for one option, however if it is set to zero, the button doesn't prompt at all. It just inserts the tags and you go on with your edit. When the tags are processed by the mod, if no options are specified, it defaults to the configuration entered in the control panel.

In my case I have the HIDE tag mapped to SHOWTOGROUPS so my changes to the HHR: Load Editor Buttons (E/2) plugin would look like this:

PHP Code:


			
if ($show['toolbar_shortcut_button'])

{

    $extrabuttons[] = array(

        'buttonimage' => vB_Template_Runtime::fetchStylevar('imgdir_editor') . '/hide.gif',

        //'twoparams' => ($vbulletin->options['hidetag_shortcut'] == 0 || $vbulletin->options['hidetag_shortcut'] == 4 || $vbulletin->options['hidetag_shortcut'] == 5) ? 1 : 0,

        'twoparams' => 0,

        'bbcodetag' => 'hide',

        'tag' => 'hide',

    );

}

and:

PHP Code:


			
if ($show['toolbar_showtogroups_button'] AND $vbulletin->options['hidetag_shortcut'] != 4)

{

    $extrabuttons[] = array(

        'buttonimage' => vB_Template_Runtime::fetchStylevar('imgdir_editor') . '/showtogroups.gif',

        //'twoparams' => 1,

        'twoparams' => 0,

        'bbcodetag' => 'showtogroups',

        'tag' => 'showtogroups',

    );

}
