Full hide of partial posts for role-playing game

[gru (Ruslan)]

Will be awesome if I will can encrypt part of public message for specific people.
I’m administrating StarWarsRP server, and option to hide part of message will be good.

Encrypting for a role playing game seems a bit … extreme… maybe you are talking about spoilers?

[gru (Ruslan)]

Spoilers are good thing, but anyone can see what’s inside. I need to protect part of message.

I searched for plugins for hiding, they are working not so good. Encrypt plugin may be better in that.
Even fully encrypted message will be a good thing.

why

I have publicly available “communication” channel. People are writing there RP info from game, but sometimes need to hide specific information for specific people. So, encrypt full message/part of message is good idea I think.

@gru

but sometimes need to hide specific information for specific people.

If they’re in different role “groups”, you could make multiple channels, and send group-specific ones in those.

[gru (Ruslan)]

Yeah this is solution too, but for our systems this will be worse than hiding contents of messages

[Firepup650 (Firepup Sixfifty)]

You also mentioned “channels” in a previous response, are you using PMs or chat?

[gru (Ruslan)]

Oh, sorry. I made mistake, not “channels”, “subcategories”

[Firepup650 (Firepup Sixfifty)]

Then this still wouldn’t work for your use-case (AFAIK), since this is for PMs, not topics in (sub)categories.

This feature request is kind of similar. I suspect a theme-component could likely be made using in par @Firepup650 idea of groups.

Flarum-bbcode-hide-content

Developing a plugin allows users to hide content from other users by using BBCode. Add the following BBCode to your post: [LOGIN]content to hide[/LOGIN] : hides the content from the non-logged in users [LIKE]content to hide[/LIKE] : hides the content until the user likes the post [REPLY]content to hide[/REPLY] : hides the content until the user replies to the post

I imagine you could likely goto marketplace and request a component that adds a kind of bbcode to hide content if not part of group. Ie if not game master display none.

While CSS could be manipulated to reveal in inspect element. I don’t imagine your hiding info that requires encryption

[gru (Ruslan)]

I agree with you, my case doesn’t require full encryption. But it looks cool, that’s all.

Thanks for sending me how I can create what I want. I will research that again.

You’re quite welcome. I remember my days of tabletop RPGs. In a perfect game scenario players will play their characters to advance the story vs winning. Feel free to pm me if you want to talk more. So we’re not side tracking this topic.

[Heliosurge (Dan DeMontmorency)]

I found this but am having some trouble with it. Might need updating?

If your using discourse signatures could be a handy pairing.

Display different content within a topic based on user's groups membership?

Finally got around to knocking this together as, https://github.com/Umbrella-CAST/discourse-umbrella-groupswitchdisplay Super simple, just removes the targeted DIV from the DOM based on is the current user in a group name “foobar” or not in the group via “!foobar”. That lets me have a simple toggle display of content like the below image. Of course, if the component is disabled, then all of the content shows (since sans component the DOM doesn’t get trimmed down.) But this is good enough for w…

[gru (Ruslan)]

Yeah, there is some problem with that script. I tried to fix it, but couldn’t.
I think JS API has been changed a little.
