The Arcive of vBulletin Modifications Site.

only view thread if replied · **Released**: 06-22-2005

Not sure I understood this modification request. Not planning on develop it further, feel free to modify and re-release.

Description
Users will only see the thread if they replied, when using showthread.php

Installation
- Upload XML
- Edit $protect_forums array and put the forum numbers you want to protect there
- Activate plug-in

Info
Adds 1 query to showthread.php

(0.2) made it look nicer
(0.3) added $showfor_superadmins, $showfor_admins, $showfor_supermods, $showfor_mods, settable for "true" or "false"

this hack has been discontinued, and no longer will be updated. send me a pm if you want to take it from here.

Does that make sense?
OK, it is possible to reply to a thread without being on showthread first, but honestly - who would do that?

beats me - thats what I understand the request was. I wont be using it, but was curious to see if it could be done.

you can still see the reply button in showthread

That's crazy ^.^
Replying to smth. you don't know anything about.
Anyway, this does not cover the archive.

Maybe a trivia thread, where the title is the question, and you see the answer after you post a guess?

and we have a use for it ^_^

youd have to make it a little prettier tho, its very ugly right now.

If a plugin requires any code modification, do NOT post it here.

With file modification they ment for the original vB files not your hack xml

This hack does sound like something FXP Boards would use even though they normaly just want to hide a certain part of text and not the whole thread.

I believe the author has explained what this does a little wrong

Upon viewing the code (but not actually using it) I believe it replaces every postbit message with the content "You must reply to this thread before you can view it"...

It is almost an imitation of the Lockdown hack - The user can still view the thread, but the post content is hidden until they reply

is there anything for 350b2? i dont' wanna hide any thread. what i want is that, in a particular thread, i could use "[hide]hidden message[/hide]" so that ppl must reply to see what's inside the tags.
thanks.
