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
'sid

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"

MP

[TamCaVBoy3]

you know when you make a new reply , there is a some bbcode shortcuts (like [img], [php]......) i want to have the hide bbcode on it too, so users can click it...faster....

[itsid]

Don't get your request TamCa, sorry...

could you please explain?

'sid

[EDIT]
Sorry skavenger, almost forgot to reply

Please go ahead and ask Abe1 for exact instructions on how to update post_thanks_hack
But if, as you told me, have not updated anything, that will be unneccessary.
Those instructions are taken from an uninstallation of a previous version of Abe1s hack as far as I can see.
So never mind

please check if users can access hidden content from printpost.php,
if so I'm able to help

[TamCaVBoy3]

you know, how when you click on POST REPLY...in that box, there are buttons for you to press to make a bbcode, like if you click PHP bbcode button, it will automaticially add the to your reply....so is it possible to make a button for your bbcode so users just click on them and then type whatever they want to hide instead of typing the [hide]text[/hide] everytimes...

[itsid]

sure!

you'll find that button in post #74 or something of this post already

All you have to do is upload that image to your images/editor folder
and add the resulting imagepath to the hide-tag mentioned at custom vB Codes in your acp

that's all!

Since this morning, nobody is able to see the hidden content. For example, users who thanked yesterday, can't see what is hidden today Oo

What could be the problem?

Sorry for my english

i'm getting the same problem.

just want to know. did you install the old hide hack for 3.5.x? because i'm wondering if that's whats causing the problem.

EDIT: nevermind. i was stupid and missed this post

printpost.php? Oo, I think you mean printthread.php
Users who thanked can't view what is hidden in showthread.php, but they can see what is hidden in printthread.php

I really don't remember =P

[itsid]

yupp, my fault printthread.php sure!

Okay, the error comes from a strange behaviour of

PHP Code:

$thank['userid'] 


set by Abe1s hack,
If you never updated that hack the only workaround is to add some extra db querys.
In fact I'm pretty sure that there was an update... nevermind.

I've got the solution somewhere in my diskbackups,
as soon as it is found, I'll attach it to this post.

stay tuned

howdy sid. thank you very much for a great hack and awesome support, im sure it is appreciated. i wanted to ask you if there is a way to add a button to a quick-reply, quick-edit and new-post editors for the hide command, so one can click on it and enter info that needs to be hidden, rather then write out [hide][/hide] tags. i've looked through all the pages and saw an icon on post 74, but havent seen a command to go with it. maybe i've missed something :roll:
thnx again for all the time and help.
