Hello everyone,

I'm looking for a way to make the messages with "[ hide ]" tag visible for administrators only. In the best case scenario I would like to have this one and a "normal hide", which means, that the Users would be able to choose if they want their message to be seen only by the Admins or just like regular hidden messages (so only by the people that wrote in this exact topic).

I've been loking for any help on this forum already, however I couldn't find a proper solution.

My forum's version is ModernBB.

Right now we do not have a default option for this.  Maybe someone with coding expertise can help with this topic.

Hello @hazira,

You can use this script: "Only to staff". Should work

Hi, thanks for your replies!

@pedxz Unfortunately your script doesn't work on my forum. Is there any chance that it is prepared for some other version? Or maybe I'm expected to do something more than pasting it in the Javascript codes management and enabling them?

Yes.

Here:

Code:

(function($) {
    'use strict';
 
    $(function() {
 
        if (! /^\/t(\d+)(p\d+-|-).*$/i.test(location.pathname)) {
            return;
        }
 
        $('.post').each(function() {
            var $post = $(this);
            var config = {
                link: $post.find('a[href^="/post?p="][href$="&mode=editpost"]'),
                message: (_userdata.user_level ? $post.find('a[href^="/post?p="][href$="&mode=editpost"]').attr('href').split('p=')[1].split('&')[0] : $post.attr('class').split('--')[1]),
                title: $post.find('.post-head a[href^="/t"]'),
                content: $post.find('.postbody > .content').html()
            };
 
 
            if (/> only_admin/.test(config.title.text())) {
 
                config.title
                    .html('This post is <b>only visible for moderation</b>.')
                ;
 
                $post
                    .attr('id', 'only_admin-' + config.message)
                    .css('opacity', '.5')
                    .find('.postbody > .content')
                    .html((_userdata.user_level ? config.content : '<span style="font-weight: 700; color: red;">[ You cannot see this message ]</span>'))
                ;
            }
 
 
            if (_userdata.user_level !== 1 && _userdata.user_level !== 2) {
                return;
            }
 
            if (!config.link.length) {
                return;
            }
 
            $.get(config.link.attr('href'))
                .done(function(context) {
 
                    var $textarea = $('#text_editor_textarea', context);
 
                    if (!$textarea.length) return;

                            'text': 'Hide post'
                        })
                        .appendTo($post.find('.postbody > .content'))
                        .on('click', function(event) {
                            event.preventDefault();
                            $.post("/post", {
                                p: config.message,
                                mode: 'editpost',
                                subject: '> only_admin',
                                message: $textarea.val(),
                                edit_reason: '',
                                attach_sig: 0,
                                notify: 0,
                                post: 1
                            }).done(function() {
                                location.reload(true);
                            }).fail(function() {
                                alert('[Erro]: Something went wrong when editing the post');

}(jQuery));

Hello. Sorry for late reply.
Unfortunately the solution which you sent doesn't work for us. We decided to change our mechanics a bit so we don't need this hide option anymore. However, if you have any idea about what could have gone wrong, we will be more than happy to try out any new code or provide more info that could help in case someone else would need it

If you no longer need this please mark it as solved so the topic can be closed.

Thank you.
