Advanced thanks question

I've just download the lite version of the advanced thanks and thought I'd try it out before buying pro.

Reading the install instructions I cam to the bit about an optional file edit. Frankly I'd rather not edit files if I can get away with it so can you tell me exactly what might happen if I choose not to do the edit?

Just in case I do need to edit .......

I have edited the file but I'd like you to check what I have done before I upload. Following is the edit I made:

// Deal with the case that quote was the only content of the post
if (trim($page_text) == '')
{
$page_text = $this->get_field('pagetext');
$strip_quotes = false;
}


return htmlspecialchars_uni(fetch_censored_text(
trim(fetch_trimmed_title(strip_bbcode($page_text, $strip_quotes, false, false), $length))));
}


// DBTECH THANKS - STRIP HIDE



global $vbphrase;
THANKS::doBBCode($page_text, $vbphrase['dbtech_thanks_stripped_content']);



// DBTECH THANKS - STRIP HIDE

What happens if you choose not to edit the file is written in the readme.txt file:

In vBulletin version 4.0.6 and above, Internet Brands changed the way
search results were being shown.
Hidden content may be exposed unless you perform this file edit.

Yes, thank you, I understand that but what hidden content will be exposed?

Also, did my edit, as shown in my previous post, look OK?

If you use the "Require Thanks to see Content" functionality, that is the content that'll be exposed

Yeah, the edit looks good

OK, one more silly question. I'm about to update from the lite version to the pro version. I assume I just download and do a complete installation with overwrite, correct?

Also, will the thinks/like already there remain or will I need to do something?

Thanks.

Everything is 100% preserved, as the database structure is entirely identical. All the upgrade does is add additional templates and plugins
