Initial release
nice mod ;)
thanks ;)
I added a demo here http://dev.oharascans.com/index.php?topic=9.0 where you can see the mod in action
130860 Nice mod
Thanks :)
So, why mod is called "Hide First Message", but download file — "hide_first_topic"? :)
its a typo I made, I realize the name hide first topic wasn't accuracy, it will be changed on the next release.
nice mod, but, why doesn't work at groups according to the number of messages ?
it should work with groups based on messages, however, this mod only works with the primary group, it doesn't work with secondary groups, maybe on an update I will include support for secondary groups.
hi have a little bug, in recent post, the first topic is not hidden
do you mean this
http://www.simplemachines.org/community/index.php?action=recent ?
thanks for the report, I'll check that when I have some time.
yep, wait for the fix, is a great mod!
i dont test but too must be check the print page option :)
The mod does hide posts for registered membres as weel, it does not work (SMF 2.0 C4)
@Patriiick on the mods descriptions says: Compatible With:
2.0 RC3
thats is, I cannot guarantee it will work on RC4 until I update it.
yes, the mod also works for registered members, you can specify what member groups cannot see the content in the mod's admin page.
You are right, I will have a look to make the necessary changes, thanks.
Wow, what a great mod! It's just what I've been looking for!
But it needs to be updated for 2RC4, and Mr. 0 should also consider to make it work on every aspect where it is in effect. I mean - if it's in the recent topics, if it's in a hidden board, if it's on a printer friendly page - the content should still be hidden.
It is a VERY good mod in my opinion, and when it'll be updated to work for 2RC4, It'll be the first mod (and maybe even the only one, cause I'm planning to wait for SMF 2 Final) that I'll DEFINITELY use.
Mr. 0, keep up the good work and updating this mod! It is awesome!
Mod works for Regular groups
Not works for Post count based groups
(http://www.dodaj.rs/f/1e/qW/1CABkXOg/sss.png)
RC4
It also doesn't cover the print-page view, RSS feeds, the posts in a user's profile, recent posts (as mentioned), and some themes it also won't work properly on (where the theme explicitly provides a preview of the first post!)
No, it doesn't work with post count based groups since the description actually *says* that... (it only works with regular groups, just as the mod's page says, though I doubt it would be a hard job to expand it)
this is just one nasty mod, I encourage people not to use it anymore, since it has so little downloads and I do not have any desire to work in SMF anymore I will request to the cus team to put this in the Archived category.
thanks.
It's not a nasty mod, just a mod that needs a little more care and attention to fulfill what it was intended to be.
