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.

Curiosity killed the cat, right? My little tweak to this hack makes guests unable to view the hidden post. Only registered members can see what's behind the curtain.

After the hack is installed, in admin/functions.php Find:

} elseif ($hidden==1) {
       eval("\$retval = \"".gettemplate("postbit_userhidden")."\";");
   }

Replace With:

} elseif ($hidden==1) {
          if ($bbuserinfo[userid]==0) {
              eval("standarderror(\"".gettemplate("error_nopermission_loggedout")."\");");
          } else {
		eval("\$retval = \"".gettemplate("postbit_userhidden")."\";");
          }
