Par C?dric Claerhout


-Description-
This module allows to hide replies in a thread according to the the forum and the usergroup. Example : i'm a visitor, i can read the first message but not the following answers. Product installation - very simple settings.


-Features-

• Choose the trusted usergroups
• Choose forums under control
• Edit the Stop Message
• Hide replies in showthread and printthread

-Installation-

1. Copy the zip directory to your server so that the two pictures included can be access with this link : /yourforums/images/misc
2. Import the xml product file
3. Setup the module : vBulletin options -> Hidden replies

-Important-

Don't forget to setup vB forums and users permissions.

-Update-

>05/09/2007 : version 1.24 released ; just add a "all forums under control" option to make ForosAbiertos happy (in fact he promised me much much money or a webcam with his girlfriend... i don't know what to choose yet )
>24/08/2006 : version 1.23 released ; bug with multi page thread is now really fixed
>24/08/2006 : version 1.22 released ; better confidentiality : vb archives are now protected ; problem with multi page thread is corrected
>23/08/2006 : version 1.21 released ; code has been updated and fixed : now it's working (hum... it sounds familiar, sorry)
>22/08/2006 : version 1.2 released ; code has been rewritten : now it's working
>20/08/2006 : version 1.1 released ; better confidentiality of replies (quick reply box, reply buttons, subscribed thread and search links are automaticly desactivated.
>19/08/2006 : version 1.00 released

-NB-

• This module can't be redistributed elsewere than here without my agreement. Pictures includes are royality free icons ; there are not mine.
• Because i'm not a coder, if someone can improve the code, it will be a pleasure.
• Because the staff of another french forum than vbulletin-fr has criticized my work and try to copy it, i do not allow them to use this module.

Just a quick message to warn you that i forgot to protect the display of replies in vb archive system I still have to work on it.

Edit
Other bug found : when a thread has several pages and you click on the last message icon of showthread, it will bring to the X page... and the first message won't display. I have to correct this.

That's a concern of mine too. I'd love to be able to specify the forum(s) that this hack affected. I'd like to use it on the general forums, but not my content forums.

edit: I see that feature is already there! Installing...
