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-

>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.

-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.

This also makes it so that users are unable to reply to the threads. I'd like to have it so that they can reply but not see any of the replies (or maybe just their own) if that's a possibility.

But anyways, great add-on, keep up the great work :up:

Well it's possible to do it very easily because i've just hidden quickreply box and reply buttons. But i don't think it's a good thing... Imagine a spammer that answers many times to a thread ; not a nice thought isn't it ?

Anyway, if you still want to do it, edit the product file and delete theses variables :

	$show['quickreply'] = false;
	$show['largereplybutton'] = false;

Is there any hack for hidden messages to see only after reply to the post. Like...[hide][/hide] Please, tell me how to install it in the forum too. I am a novice in scripting.

Hello,

this is perfect hack, but I run 3.5.4. Will this work for me or is there also 3.5. version?

Thank you .-)

this would be fantastic except i'd like to use it for a secure voting system and i figure it can't be that hard to change..... i would like...."a reverse hide hack basically" where only the first post in the thread shows until after the thread has been replied to.....then you can post battles in the first post and no one can see the resulting votes in the posts below until they have replied..... much like yours, but based on posts within the thread, not based on usergroups....any help?

[^SuiCyde^]

or is there anyway to make it so even the trusted usergroups can't see it until after they reply......i guess that's what i'm trying to do.....

[adonfun]

This is a wonderful hack, I was looking for this one.

Is it compatible with 3.6.7?

[ForosAbiertos]

I have a forum with a lot of subforum, more tan 80...

"Choose for which forums you want to control the display of replies"

There is some option to select everything, without it having to do one to one?
