Make invisible users visible to Super Moderators and Moderators.

Very simple, but seeing there was a request for it, I figured I would go ahead and release how I was able to accomplish this in vB 2.0.3. Not sure if it is the same in 2.2 or not, but it probably isn't too much different regardless.

EDIT: Updated instruction attachment for inclusion of complete 2.2.0 modifications.

EDIT2: See Post #29 For the fix for fourmdisplay.php for versions 2.2.2 and 2.2.3.

EDIT3: see Post #48 For the new install file for vB version 2.2.6

Anyone got a working version for 2.3.2 already?

[Alas-Digitales]

Does this hack work with version 2.3.3?, If not, is there any hack with the same features, that could work with this version?

Thanks

[rowanthemanfish]

Has anyone managed to get this working?

I could really do with it being on 2.2.3

Will this be updated for vB2.3.4 anytime soon, or are you laying off to work on vB3 stuff?
Cheers.

I seems that it works ok at my 2.3.3 forum (It is the 2.3.3 with the 2.3.4 Calendar.php file - that security fix).

I used this version of the hack

EDITED :

Except one small bug (?).

A moderator can see other invisible users at the "Users Browsing this Forum" line, but not himself.

Overall great hack

If I encounter any probs I will report them.

Surprising this sorta thing didn't come with the original VB. *Clicks Install*

I just installed this on a 2.3.0 board only for the super mods - they love it. But, for 2.3.0 (and maybe some of the other 2.2.x versions) there are 3 more changes that need to be made.

To make the moderator visible to himself when browsing a forum, you need to do the following in forumdisplay.php

FIND:

if ((!$bbuserinfo['invisible'] or $bbuserinfo['usergroupid'] == 6) and $bbuserinfo['userid'] <> 0) {

REPLACE WITH:

if ((!$bbuserinfo['invisible'] or $bbuserinfo['usergroupid'] == 6 or $bbuserinfo['usergroupid'] == 5 or $bbuserinfo['usergroupid'] == 7) and $bbuserinfo['userid'] <> 0) {

To make invisible members visible when viewing a thread, open showthread.php

FIND:

if ((!$threaduser['invisible'] or $bbuserinfo['usergroupid'] == 6) and $bbuserinfo['userid'] != $threaduser['userid']) {

REPLACE WITH:

if ((!$threaduser['invisible'] or $bbuserinfo['usergroupid'] == 6 or $bbuserinfo['usergroupid'] == 7) and $bbuserinfo['userid'] != $threaduser['userid']) {

FIND:

if ((!$bbuserinfo['invisible'] or $bbuserinfo['usergroupid'] == 6) and $bbuserinfo['userid'] <> 0) {

REPLACE WITH:

if ((!$bbuserinfo['invisible'] or $bbuserinfo['usergroupid'] == 6 or $bbuserinfo['usergroupid'] == 5 or $bbuserinfo['usergroupid'] == 7) and $bbuserinfo['userid'] <> 0) {
