DESCRIPTION

Have you ever wanted your users to be able to define who exactly can view the information in any particular post? vS-Hide Hack Resurrection, a vBulletin 3.5.x - 3.8.x expansion, features a set of handy tags that together give your users an opportunity to do just that:

[HIDE-POSTS]: defines the minimum number of posts required to read the content within.
[SHOWTOGROUPS]: defines the usergroups that may read the content within.
[HIDE-THANKS]*: defines that the content within may only be read after the person says thank you by pressing a special button. (Expanded Edition Only)
[HIDE-REPLY]*: defines that the content within may only be read after the person replies. (Expanded Edition Only)
[STU]: defines the users that may read the content within. (Expanded Edition Only)

*(1): The HIDE-THANKS tag comes with a full-featured Post Thank You System. See features for further details.
*(2): The HIDE-REPLY tag can be reversed to HIDE with just one easy switch of an admincp option.

INTRODUCTION

Why "Resurrection"?

The reason is simple: This hack has been written many times by various people, and nobody ever got their version working correctly.
This product presents a professional version written from scratch, and there are no backdoors through which hidden information can be illegally retrieved. Unlike other systems, this one works correctly with the vBulletin Post Cache.

Usage Syntax:

[HIDE]information[/HIDE]
Shortcut code, can be mapped to any of the below ones. By default, it is mapped to HIDE-POSTS.

[HIDE-POSTS=X]information[/HIDE-POSTS]
Information is not shown to people who have less than X posts. Has an alternative syntax: , where X is automatically set to the value defined in vBulletin options.

[HIDE-REPLY]information[/HIDE-REPLY] (Expanded Edition Only)
Information is not shown to people unless they reply.

[HIDE-THANKS]information[/HIDE-THANKS] (Expanded Edition Only)
Information is now shown to people unless they press "Thank You" button.

[HIDE-REPLY-THANKS]information[/HIDE-REPLY-THANKS] (Expanded Edition Only)
Information is not shown to people unless they either reply or press "Thank You" button.

[SHOWTOGROUPS=x]information[/SHOWTOGROUPS]
Information is not shown to people unless they are a member of the X usergroups, where X is a comma-separated list of usergroupids.

[STU=x]information[/STU]
Information is not shown to people unless they are a listed in X, where X is a comma-separated list of userids.

I have the same issue, the buttons are not there only the text for them !

Plus, only Hide-Post works for me, the others like [/SHOWTOGROUPS] don`t work, i mean the hide tag is around the text but is not hidden...

I`m using vB 3.8.0 but i had the same issue before, with 3.7.x

That is a known issue with 3.7.1 - automated template injections implemented but they don't support quickedit and quickreply yet. That will be fixed in the next release.

i like it ... *installed*

thank you

[chrisnufcfan]

Nice modification, will be useful!

[chrisnufcfan]

There is no section in the instruction manual about template edits in the admin cp. That's why the BB Code images aren't showing for anyone...

Please let me edit your citation:

There is no section in the instruction manual about template edits because there are no template edits that need to be done for this hack.

Your permissions (usergroup or forum or global) for the hack are not configured correctly. That's why the BB Code images aren't showing for anyone...

[Funkworkz]

Works great, but i have a question.

is there any way to modify the hack so that a user does not see the hide content if they are added to the usergroup where it was visible after the post was made?

for instance, say user AAA posted something that user BBB cant see on 2/20, then on 2/21 user BBB was added to the usergroup. User BBB can now see the message that AAA wrote. I want that message to remain private based on date, so BBB cannot see reguardless if hes in the usergroup or not.

[nikosb]

I would like (in the bbcode templates ) to change from the image "hidden text" to text that says "mpla mpla mpla mpla"
how?
Thanks
