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"

[itsid]

Well you've ENABLED the "thank you" option, that's why the hacks asks for a non existing table in the database.
(you're db error should ask for post_thanks table)
disable this option in ACP to get rid of this error.

Or even better: install the post_thanks hack (announced in first post, you should have read) that way you will also find the thank-you-button you've asked for

ah got it, I got confused with title of post, assumed this hack includes hide hack + thank you hack.

Thanks for clarifying, I will additionaly install Thank You addon

Finally someone who has put more energy into the hide hack,
Great Features yeah respect
But i have 2 questions.

1. How do you set the images instead of the text (maybe nood question)

2. Can you make one for 3.5.x? (able with the thank you hack from 3.5.x)
You coul also say: update then yeah but my forum has many mods that are customized by people it would take weeks to recover al that and i have to warn all those people again.
So if you could make on i would be very happy

And again, Nicely Done

hi thanks for ur hack but i have a problem i have done all of the things in the read me file but the pictures still didnt appear when i hide the post why is this and please tell me how can i fix it?

[TTG]

import via acp Phrase-Manager but NOT as a new language!
english/hide_bbcode-images-english.xml

This is not possible in 3.6.4 .. how can one get the images to show ?

[Greek76]

Is it possible to make the text say ( You must post a reply in order to view hidden content)? I think my users get confused with the original text.

[Adam21]

Error:Invalid file specified

[winpro19]

First of all let me say GREAAT HACK KEEP IT UP!
But I'm confused. My images aren't showing up..I uploaded them in /images directory. They're not showing up..

Also, what do I use to hide stuff. ...[hide] or is there something like [hide-reply] or [hide-thankyou] as well?
Help asap!
Thanks

[itsid]

Starting from the end again ...

winpro,
upload images AND import the xml from post #159 (I've somehow forgotten to put it in the zip, I'll update asap [what's monday i think])
Use [hide] nothing else will work, how to show up hidden content is adminchoice ONLY.

Adam21,
Error: Invalid Question asked

Greek76,
sure it is, just go to your Phrasemanagement in ACP and edit the phrases to your needs

TTG,
of course it is possible to upgrade existing language in 3.6.4 (just choose english from the dropdown) that's all (as shown on the pic-install-image)
And yes im sure i've got 3.6.4 myself

Terminatoronly,
make sure you have uploaded the pictures to yourvbulletinforum.com/images/
and not in any subfolder well at least if your not having yoursite.com/yourforum/ then it sure has to be in yousite.com/yourforum/images

HS2005,
1.use the language xml in post #159 to change phrases from Text to imagetag
(I'll update the main xml sometime containing images or phrases choosable from acp to avoid this issues )

2.Sorry I don't think so, I don't have any 3.5.x vBulletin and I don't have no clue what's been changed ..
Maybe I'll find som hints in the forums, and if it's obvious enough I'll try, but really: without any testforum I don't think it'll be what it should

So, have a nice weekend you all

'sid

[EDIT]
uups, forgot somebody... hope you reload

[winpro19]

Hey
Wow that's a lot of typing itsid...thanks for all questions
But yea, when I try to upload the .xml (import product) from post 159 I get error "Invalid File Specified"
Any ideas?
