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.

[havefun]

sorry. me again

because of a fun-forum it would be better that mods and super-mods
can't see it too. only after answer.

i think that i've to delete this for mods:

PHP Code:

    if (can_moderate($forumid) AND in_array(THIS_SCRIPT, array('forumdisplay', 'showthread', 'archive', 'printthread')))
    {
        $hidetag['canview'] = true; // allowed if [user = mod]
    } 


[akanevsky]

Replace
if (in_array($usergroup, array(5,6))
With
if (in_array($usergroup, array(6))

and erase
if (can_moderate($forumid) AND in_array(THIS_SCRIPT, array('forumdisplay', 'showthread', 'archive', 'printthread')))
{
$hidetag['canview'] = true; // allowed if [user = mod]
}

Hi, Dark Visor

I find something but I dont know if this is a bug from the first release or the second.

Exemple:

I make a new thread and I post

[hide]sometext[/hide]

now, when somebody visit this thread will see that he need 10 post to be able to see the hiden text. Our user has only 5 post and he is not able to see the hiden text.

That is okay, so far.

Anyway,when the user post a "replay" but he dont post realy and scroll down to my hiden thread he IS ABLE to see the hiden text in the " Topic Review (Newest First) "

Is that a bug or my update mistake ?

2. I have noticed that when I click the hide icon, to write a text a java script popup open. When I wrote "http://www.vbulletin.org" I will take:

[HIDE="http://www.vbulletin.org"][/HIDE] and that is wrong

[HIDE]="http://www.vbulletin.org"][/HIDE] that is correct. I missed an ] after the first "hide" tag.

Can you help please ?

Thanks,
Mike

ctsolutions,
In popup you should write the amount of posts a user needs to have to see the content. The content itself goes here:
[hide]...youcontents...[/hide]
