DragonByte Private Texts in Posts v2.0.0 Beta 1 Released!

Former Developer
Hi everyone,

We have a major update of DragonByte Private Texts in Posts today! Version 2 is a complete overhaul of the system we use to store the Private Texts and will ensure any private information between users is stripped out from posts and stored in the database separately. This method ensures that if the mod needs to be disabled or uninstalled, exisiting messages between users can't be unintentionally seen.

Version 2 also features a tool that can be enabled (please not this tool is disabled by default) which will remove any redundant Version 1 messages. If users have been using private texts, we would suggest that each post that has had texts posted in it, is either edited or viewed while the system is active to ensure the content is stripped out. To access the setting, navigate to your Admin Control Panel > Settings > Options > DragonByte Tech: DragonByte Private Text in Posts - General Settings and enable the setting Actively Remove Version 1 Content. We would recommend that you disable this setting when you are finished using it.

The syntax for the BBCode has been simplified and improved in Version 2, to now allow for multiple users to be texted with the same text content. The BBCode now works as follows:

Code:
[PM=Mokonzi;Fillip H.;Dylan;Cosmic]This is a hidden text.[/PM ]

When then parsed the message is replaced with a place holder phrase that can be edited or translated by Administrators in the Phrase Manager. The BBCode also uses a nice template that can edited in the Template Editor to fit in with the style of your site.

Feature: Multiple Users can be tagged for the same message
Feature: vBulletin Option to remove Version 1 code (disabled by default)
Change: Data is stored in the database separate to the post
Change: Improved CSS formatting of PM code template

This is an initial Beta version of the mod, so we are looking forward to feedback on the mod and any bugs that we have missed. :)

Thanks as always to everyone for their feedback and suggestions.
