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.

That's the original hack, I think you have to get the expanded edition to have the images one.

[iyama]

@chrisnufcfan: Maybe you are right, maybe not. It seems to work on nulled vb buth why not on the payed vb? Thinking to switch over to IPB.

[Leecher24]

I will say to people that have Big Boards. I have one. More than 1000 Regestritation a Day and over 250000 Thanks at Day.

We must remove this Hack because. If you want Delte some Thread the Script search one Million user Thanks to Delete this. At this moment have the MYSQL Server Load over 50 and it is good Machine ( 4 Socket 4x Quad Xeon 5110 16 GB RAM and 4x SCSI 15k 76 GB with Raid 10).
So the Next I tried to find a Solutions but noby helps here I will pay for this.

But Today I make the SlowQuerry Logging on. And I find very bad think that was produced from the Hidehack on all ShowPost etc. was a Slow Querry from the vB_Thanks:
[HIDE-THANKS]
SELECT thanks.dateline, thread.title, post.postid, user.userid, user.username
FROM vb_thanks as thanks
LEFT JOIN vb_post as post ON (post.postid = thanks.postid)
LEFT JOIN vb_thread as thread ON (thread.threadid = post.threadid)
LEFT JOIN vb_user as user ON (user.userid = thanks.userid)
WHERE post.userid = 1056500
ORDER BY thanks.dateline DESC LIMIT 10;
[/HIDE-THANKS]

One Thousand of this in the Log.
Than I deactivate this Hack and Activate to test that it is 100 Percent the Hidehack here see Statistic :




If someone Thank they Locked the Table vB_user and some processes waiting and Forum give no answer because the MYSQL is overloaded to Process the Thanks Processes

This Hack was fine for a Forum that have max 1000 Thanks a Day or somethink.

If someone like to Rewrite the Hack for better Performance can write me I will pay for this.

Sorry for my english

[Funkworkz]

i got this working fine, not sure why people are having such a hard problem with it. just make sure you download the uncompressed javascript vb package and your gold. if you have compressed, just upload the uncompressed file as mentioned before from the author

[Leecher24]

This hack works finde for Smal Boards I have an Board that comes over 1 Million Thanks at Day.

And then try to Delete a Thread. The Hack will go over all half million Users and Search to delete the Thanks.
And there is the Querry that Produces Thousands of Slow Querries.

And on all Showthread there where a Slow Querry to get the Count.

At some Moments this Hack will be Locked the Table and no more Requests are Possible so apache loads all to RAM I have 32 GB RAM and than I have an usage of 20 GB of RAM this is not normal.

Bad Hack for Big Boards and Support is Failed. I have say I will pay for Coding this Hack for BigBoards but I don't get any Answer.

Sorry for my Englisch

[Kolbi]

After installing the Hide Addon i can´t click on BB-Icons for using them?

Do i have to upload all uncompressed javascript files or only the edited uncompressed javascript file?
