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"

Works great for me in 3.6.3 very good job sid tanks again

[itsid]

thanks sorry01, I couldn't test with 3.6.3 so this is helpful

Hi Ronak, I'm not very good in iconifying.. but if you want, use the one below.

So, having you updated to the ajax issue:

I've build up a javascript that's able to read even multiple posts and spits them to predefined containers,
because ajax is only able to send and get ONLY ONE at a time, this really is nothing you really want, multiple sql querys, multiple php-calls, multiple TimeOutCalls (to fetch correct state) and extremly blown up script itself. (at this time twice as large as last version and growing)

So, right now I try to build an acp-option to activate this only if you know
what you are doing to your server with that, and this means loss of performance and of course to reduce sql queries to the absolute minimum.
And if possible to reduce the script itself to get smaller to save every ressource you (and I) have!
If there is one important thing, then it's performance

Now I have to find out what to optimize, what to drop, what to tweak again and of course all the debbuging that's possible

BUT:
Still I am unable to promise a working ajax-version of this one,
but I will post what I've done as soon as I surrender or succeed

cheers

Cant get this to work. I reuploaded the product.xml in english. I uploaded the images to my forum/images. I go to phrase manage to import this as you stated:

import via acp phrasemanager DONOT create new language
hide_bbcode-language-en.xml

I dont see a way to import a phrase file. I dont get this. Also if I want to use this file hide_bbcode-language-en-images.xml I uploaded into my xml folder. I see nothing happening. How do I get this to work. I see the it in the options on my acp set it accordingly so what next?

[lolo?]

you don't create a new language but select english our other and import de xml file
