Been seeing a lot of requests for plugins whereas people want to create custom code that will only be viewable by users that are logged in.

Would it be possible to create a class, or a tag, or something of that nature where when used it'll hide the text within?.. That was people could use X amount of code, anywhere, and it'd all have the same effect.

I'm thinking it's impossible from my own understanding but maybe you know otherwise.

So I'm thinking you don't mean the parser correct? Like just in templates?

Just in the templates.. I don't have an understanding or idea of how it'd work, but a javascript tag would maybe do it.. if you're familiar with java.

In general a way to hide ANY code that is surrounded by a tag.

Sorry for the vague input, I'm not sure how to be specific

Wait...do you mean like hide and then can be opened or like putting

[membersonly]Stuff in here[/membersonly]?

[membersonly]Stuff[/membersonly]

But not just as a tag used in the forums. For instance, if I had a chatbox I wanted on the index, or a photo gallery, or whatever, it'd be cool to hide it from the guest's eyes.

Whichever works either one would be cool.

Possible?

That's kind of an interesting idea. Have you ever checked out Yumi's mod?

Check out this thread and see if it could work for you.

Not quite...

I'm going to spend a few minutes and draw something up as an idea... I think I've figure out a way to accomplish this. Well, maybe an hour..

Ok, no point drawing it up, so I'll just give you a simple solution... maybe not simple as in work, but the explanation.

Think of how custom pages works... You can create new pages and in those pages you may have title's, html, etc, as well as apply permissions to each page...

Now, consider this, rather than output to a specific place, it'd create a new field, not sure what they're called, but one of these {$MyFieldName} or {$SomeHTMLCode} etc.. and basically you'd have the freedom to just throw this tag into any template and multiple times if necessary... and wherever it was placed it'd display the HTML assigned to it.

I'd make some examples of how to use it but the list could go on forever.

Does that make any sense?

Yeah it makes sense, but I'm not sure if it's possible....
