Description and Message


This picture is an example post - the top part of the image is the preview and shows that the Hide mod is working - but once the post is posted (middle section) there is nothing to show that the text is hidden - unlike the example from your forum (bottom section)

Please could you give me an indication of what I have done wrong?

Thanks for any help you can give

I had edited all the files you listed - but I rechecked the edits, purged the cache and refreshed templates etc again - but I am still getting the same 'error'

Should I have uploaded and run contrib\addons\update_bbcode\install\update_bbcode.php?

Hello
There is 2 parts that you need to change manually.

ONE: ACP backend
(1) Go to Administration Control Panel
(2) Navigate to Posting -> BBCodes -> Add a new BBcode
(3) Under "BBCode usage", enters: {TEXT}
(4) Under "HTML replacement", leaves it empty
(5) Under "Help line", enters: Hide message: your message
(6) Under "Display on posting page", tick on the box (means yes)
(7) Click Submit to save your new BBcode
(8) Get your BBcode ID by:
(8.1) Click on the "Edit (green image)" button
(8.2) remembers the ID on the URL (i.e. &mode=bbcodes&action=edit&bbcode=XX, XX is the number)

TWO: Edit includes/constants.php
(1) Find define('HIDE_BBCODE_ID', 1000);
(2) Change 1000 to the bbcode ID XX from (8), e.g. define('HIDE_BBCODE_ID', 13);
(3) Save the file and upload to your webserver


Refresh Templates, Themes and Imagesets and clear the cache

Thank you for trying to help, but I have already carried out those steps as they were in the install instructions

I am at a loss to know what to do next to resolve the issue, I don't want to proceed with the addons until the base install is working properly

[ANewbie]

Is there anything else that I can do to get this mod working properly please?

Hello
Check your file-edits again

I started over and now it is working but I have another question

The 'hide' button is not capitalised - could you tell me where the code is that draws the button so that I can change h to H

Thank you for your help
