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 can obter as the extended version ?

exportforce · #**163** 10-24-2010, 02:56 PM

The Forum where I can "Buy" the EXTENDED Edition is totally unsupported and dead.
Do I still need to buy that ? If yes, the last update is almost a year ago and I can't seem to see any support on the board... I am confused.

Kraxell · #**164** 10-24-2010, 04:01 PM

if you only need hide and thanks-hack, you dont need the extended-version.(use another thanks-hack)

bigrover · #**165** 10-25-2010, 03:10 PM

I purchased the extended version for the per-forum and per-usergroup settings. With the exception of a few things I have noted and resolved, the product works. None of the other HIDE mods even make attempts at a complete hide.

Find what works for you and go with it. I understand the support issues. I have a mod I probably should post, but I am reluctant to due to the support load it would likely generate. It is an ugly mod, but it works for me. Sometimes that is what you need.

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.

I did this and now both hide and showtogroups makes the message invisible to everyone. I don't even see "This message is hidden", its just as if I didn't type anything.

Well, I installed it on my 4.0.8 forum and it worked fine (though I had to work 1 hour to make the thanks_postbit template look ok).
I tried to find a bug like you said, but everything was fine til now. I tried to quote the post, view source.... and it's still hidden.
I think this mod will be perfect if the coder give full support as it supposed to.

jackichan70 · #**169** 11-12-2010, 01:10 PM

be used for vB4.0.1 or not?

dcuellar · #**170** 11-13-2010, 04:17 PM

Hey vS,
I asked about this on a previous version and you said you were going to look into it. Can you add the ability to view content for x amount of vbcredits?
