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"

when i use hide hack this come out with this message although i typed more than ten character "The message you have entered is too short. Please lengthen your message to at least 10 characters." I using VBB 3.6.6 and post thanks 6.2 please help thanks

[itsid]

tuanvic,
yes type a minimum of ten char. OUTSIDE the hide-tag to describe what you've hidden away, then there will be no such message
(I hate it myself when I do not know what I should thank for... think about that)

calibre_k,
all was answered before... and as long as you don't mark as installed I wont search the answers for you.

stinger,
yes it should do with post_thanks 6 and up,
although I can't do any testings nor improvements due to a time problem (too much work to do) but abe1 didn't changed what my hack is looking for afaics
And yes, 3.6.7 and my hack works fine, I was told numerous times.

yes clicked now ,support please sid

To fix the {param} issue,
just got to ACP -> Custom vB Codes search for the hide- entry, click edit and in the next window save (no need to edit anything)

(If you don't need no editor button for the hide-tag, you can prevent that from happening again by just deleting the complete hide-entry)

I'm just trying to load this with product manager, but this is the error message I'm getting

Database error in vBulletin 3.6.7:

Invalid SQL:

MySQL Error : Duplicate entry 'hide-0' for key 2

What am I doing wrong?? I've clicked installed now!

[itsid]

If you have(1) or had(2) another hide hack installed
(1) uninstall the other one
(2) Got to VB->Custom vB Codes and delete the hide entry

Then try again
