Hidden Posts

I have updated this hack. It now hides hidden posts during replying, when they are shown below the newreply screen for review.

See the upgrade instructions below.

-------------------------------

Just for the record this IS NOT Lockdown. This allows the user to select an option when posting/editing a post that will make his post display a message that it is hidden, and to view it, click here. It's great for spoilers, off-color language, or anything else that you would want the viewer to make a conscious decision to view it.

Idea by amykhar.

Screenshot is here.

For version: 2.0.3

Files needed: install_hiddenposts.php

Files to edit: newthread.php, newreply.php, editpost.php, showthread.php, admin/functions.php

Templates to edit/create: newthread, newreply, editpost, postbit_hidden

Instructions are in the zip in a file named INSTALL.

Upgrading Instructions: To upgrade from the previous version of this hack (which didn't hide posts when replying), do the following:
In newreply.php, find

PHP Code:

          if ($ignore[$post[userid]]) {
            $reviewmessage = $ignoreduser; 


Right below that, add

PHP Code:

          } elseif ($post[hidden]) {
            eval("\$hiddenpost = \"".gettemplate("threadreviewbit_hidden")."\";");
            $reviewmessage = $hiddenpost; 


Then find

PHP Code:

        post.pagetext,post.allowsmilie,post.userid FROM post 


and replace that with

PHP Code:

        post.pagetext,post.allowsmilie,post.userid,post.hidden FROM post 


And that's it.

Please DO NOT email, PM, IM, or otherwise contact me off this board about this hack. Post in this thread.

Feedback appreciated. Enjoy!

This hack works great on 2.2.0.. ^^

But a few request/suggestion, Is there a way to make it where

1) Unregistered users cant view them
2) Only specified members can view them
3) Only specified user groups can/or cant view them

That would be awesoem if it could have this stuff... if possible.. lol

please help me

[Barret]

I have tried and tried "well twice actually" and it just won`t work.
Like I told the peeps at the board, of all the hacks I have installed..this is the only one I cannot get to work.
Me wonders why come?
Maybe it`s just that on some servers it won`t work right?
I have 2.03 so any ideas why it doesn`t work?
Please help....

[Barret]

I guess it just wasn`t meant to work for me
I just redid it again and it still doesn`t work.
Thanks for the help anyway.
Button look cool though.

[Barret]

I just looked over this and I think the problem is in functions.php.
You can click "hide" all you want but it does not hide anything.
Since this isn`t being called up "postbit_userhidden , I suspect functions.php."
Maybe the new instructions got messed up or whatever but it does not work now.
Guess I was just too late getting the first file.

Would be cool if someone could get a working model of this though.

i had it working in 2.2, I just now installed something, and I decided I would take it out..so....you might want to learn how to add the snippet of code as needed
