Show Thread Enhancements - Thread Passwords (Updated to VB4 by BOP5)

Updated by BirdOPrey5

This is a quick update of the vBulletin 3.6 mod by netwind: Thread Passwords (VB 3.6)

It is marked Re-Usable Code.

NOTE: Confirmed bug affecting all attachments. See post #20.

By request I have updated this to work on the latest vBulletin, VB 4.1.12. It should work on all 4.x versions.

There are NO new features, it is a simple update so it works with 4.x

I will not be providing official support for this mod- truth be told I'm not sure how it works, only that it does in my quick tests.

This is the original description:

This hack allow protect thread by password same way as forums.
Administrator and moderators can change password, can appoint thread masters.
Thread masters can only change password.

All thread content are protected by password : attachments,printable version, archive,
search results. Instant subscription letters will not contain message.

Please "Mark as Installed" if you use it.

Excellent, that did indeed fix the problem. I feel a bit silly for not checking the plugin list, that one was rather obvious once I saw it. :P

That feature really isn't much of an issue for how I plan on using the system, so I'm perfectly happy to run it without it. If it can be fixed later, that's great, but if not it's still a great module without it.

I had to take this out.
Reason being, that with this installed it made all posts with images, even Threads without having a password, showing as 'broken' images (you know the images which show a little broken icon instead of the picture).

As soon as I took this modification out the images within posts were showing fine again.

Update to my post
I just read the above 3 posts so I see you know about it.
I will leave it not installed for the time being though.

I have installed it but i can't find where i can set the password for thread? What do i need rot do?
I cand find the code in template show thread.
What to do.

[BirdOPrey5]

if you can't find this code in your SHOWTHREAD template:

<li><a href="{vb:raw $vboptions.vbforum_url}{vb:if "$vboptions['vbforum_url']", '/', ''}printthread.php?{vb:raw session.sessionurl}t={vb:raw threadid}<vb:if condition="$perpage">&amp;pp={vb:raw perpage}</vb:if><vb:if condition="$pagenumber">&amp;page={vb:raw pagenumber}</vb:if>" accesskey="3" rel="nofollow">{vb:rawphrase show_printable_version}</a></li>

You probably have a custom style- you will need to look for code like it...

earch for "show_printable_version"

Question, what usergroups can access the password threads without having to give the password... Admins of course, but, what about mods and supermods?... Is there a way to edit this?...

Thank you...

By the way, the mod has been very useful =P...

[BirdOPrey5]

Admins, super-mods, and mods of the forum the thread is posted in should have access.

I don't use this mod and have uninstalled it so I don't have any more info.

I just install it on my test forum (4.2.1).
I uploaded the file, imported the xml and change the template but when I click on
Setup thread password appear this message:

Fatal error: Call to undefined function threadpassword_atos() in C:\xampp\htdocs\test\threadpassword.php on line 74

Any idea? Thanks in advance!

[tme_power]

Mark as Installed. Finally someone did this!

Thanks for this MOD.

[GPOClan]

Great mod, thanks!

Is it possible that every user, including super-mods etc., has to enter the password? This would be great!

Thank you.
