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"

vBulletin Options => Posts: vB Code [hide] => Ajax functionality => Yes

hi m8 is it possible to add a box under the messagebox and what ever content is put into it it is automaticly parsed with hide tags. thx in advance

[itsid]

bbf,
I'm afraid.. No

dunglantq,
Sorry the fieldset was hardcoded, because I need it that way,
I know that hardcoded html isn't the way to go, but intentionally the hack was just for me,
so you have to take it this way
Oh, and thanks for the answer

360themes,
yes, as dunglantq said, activate the ajax feature first, if you still have any troubles let me know.

music legend,
your welcome !

wolfe,
that doesn't make any sense I guess...
If you build another message-box where to put hidden content? at the top of the post? at the end? right in the middle? And how should I enter hidden content with quickreply?
why not just use the tags where ever you want, I see no need for such a message box

[dunglantq]

itsid, thank for reply and cool mod
who have another idea ???

m8 its a message box for newthreads only such as riddles where they can add the answer and when people reply with theres the hidden answer shows you understand now would it be an easy modification ?

i ran some maintenance on my board [v3.6.4] and it caused all of the hide links to be this [see pic below] :

what i did was Prune and move some members to an inactive usergroup and then ran these maintenance from the Admin Panel:

Admin Panel / Maintenance / Update Counters

1. Update User Titles and Ranks
2. Rebuild Thread Information
3. Rebuild Forum Information
4. Rebuild Post Cache

I also ran Admin Panel / Maintenance / RepairOptimize Tables

checked all boxes and clicked Continue and selected Repeat Process twice more just to verify

i then ran the Diagnostic test which is in Admin Panel / Maintenance

so i'm not sure which one of those tasks might have caused the Hide hack to not function properly.

I'm able to fix it by clicking on member's thread Edit button and then click Save and it is then working properly.

do i have to do this for all of my member's posts or would reinstalling fix it?

[richTV]

nevermind....

getting tired of fixing everyone's post, i then went into the Admin Panel / Custom BB Codes / BB Code Manager

and clicked on Save for the Hide hack thus causing my board to "update" it and it is working fine now.

Hi Itsid,
i have removed this mod from my forum but there is a problem the hide button is still shown in the text editor please help i want to remove it

[itsid]

No problem..

go to "custom vB Codes" and remove the hide-tag insert

And because you're in the acp already, make sure all plugins are removed properly
(should.. but tag should be removed, too... so better check than sorry )

PS yes richTV, that you could read some pages ago
