Hide bb_codes for unregistered users vb 5.2 and 5.3.3

[chicoynano]

First of all, I apologize for my english because I use google translate.I found a solution for BBcodes to be invisible to the unregistered.It is tested both in VB 5.2 and 5.3.3.
Admincp » Languages & Phrases » Phrase Manager » Add New Phrase
Phrase Type : GLOBAL
Product : vBulletin
Varname : hide_code
Text : Please Login or <a href="register.php">Register</a> to see codes
Go to your Admincp » Styles & Templates » Style Manager » Your Style » BB Code Layout Templates

Open bbcode_code will see this code:

<vb:if condition="$vboptions['codemaxlines']">
    {vb:set verticalPadding, 12}
    {vb:set horizScrollbarAllowance, 20}
    {vb:set blockCssHeight, {vb:math {vb:raw blockheight} * {vb:stylevar bbcode_code_line_height} + {vb:raw verticalPadding} + {vb:raw horizScrollbarAllowance}}}
</vb:if>
<div class="bbcode_container">
    <div class="bbcode_description">{vb:rawphrase code}:</div>
    <pre class="bbcode_code"<vb:if condition="$vboptions['codemaxlines']"> style="height:{vb:raw blockCssHeight};"</vb:if>>{vb:raw code}</pre>
</div>

Substitute for this one. Always remember that the id of users will be the ones of your forum. (Usually unregistered ID: 1) (For other users you choose who has permission)

<vb:if condition="$vboptions['codemaxlines']">
    {vb:set verticalPadding, 12}
    {vb:set horizScrollbarAllowance, 20}
    {vb:set blockCssHeight, {vb:math {vb:raw blockheight} * {vb:stylevar bbcode_code_line_height} + {vb:raw verticalPadding} + {vb:raw horizScrollbarAllowance}}}
</vb:if>
<div class="bbcode_container">
    <div class="bbcode_description">{vb:rawphrase code}:</div>
<vb:if condition="is_member_of($user, 2, 3, 6, 29, 31)">
    <pre class="bbcode_code"<vb:if condition="$vboptions['codemaxlines']"> style="height:{vb:raw blockCssHeight};"</vb:if>>{vb:raw code}</pre>
</vb:if>
    <vb:if condition="is_member_of($user, 1)">{vb:rawphrase hide_code}
</vb:if>
</div>

The same code can be used for html_code and php_code. Changing of course {vb: rawphrase code} for the corresponding one in each case for html {vb: rawphrase html_code} and for php {vb: rawphrase php_code}

Any doubts or clarifications in comments, as well as if they were useful, I did several hours to find this solution and I hope it will be useful

Thanks for sharing chicoynano!

I think you meant usergroup id not user id.

If you are hiding the code from unregistered users (usergroup id 1) only and show to the rest of usergroups, then it would be easier to use and maintain this code by reversing the logic:

<vb:if condition="!is_member_of($user, 1)">
    <pre class="bbcode_code"<vb:if condition="$vboptions['codemaxlines']"> style="height:{vb:raw blockCssHeight};"</vb:if>>{vb:raw code}</pre>
<vb:else />
    {vb:rawphrase hide_code}
</vb:if>

instead of your suggested code:

<vb:if condition="is_member_of($user, 2, 3, 6, 29, 31)">
    <pre class="bbcode_code"<vb:if condition="$vboptions['codemaxlines']"> style="height:{vb:raw blockCssHeight};"</vb:if>>{vb:raw code}</pre>
</vb:if>
<vb:if condition="is_member_of($user, 1)">{vb:rawphrase hide_code}
</vb:if>

I have a similar mod that does the same. The implementation is similar but I haven't released my version yet as I still see some bugs with it related to cache. The issue is in some intermittent occasions, it still hides the code even if user is logged in (I haven't heard any issue in a while though). Only after clearing system cache in AdminCP fixes the issue. Your code might have the same issue.

Right, I had that issue a few days ago here and now everything seems to be ok.

I think you meant usergroup id not user id.

So it is thanks for your clarification, possibly for the translator

At the moment I did not give this decaché error but I will be attentive thanks for warning

If you are kind enough to edit the user field by user group, why can not I edit it?
