Option to make a post public, or member's only

[SafeInSanity]

I set up a board as a place for members to post blogs in and I gave the board "member's only" view permissions because I know that some members won't want their posts view-able to the public. But then I got to thinking, what if somebody wanted to share a blog post on Facebook? They would not be able to because nobody could see it.

That's when I thought of a cool idea for a plugin that would allow member's to decide if they wanted to make their post public, or members only. Plugin admin page could have option to add to certain boards only. Something like "Select the boards that you wish to enable this plugin on" from a dropdown menu. This way admin could just leave the board viewable to public and let the member's decide if they want to make their post public or private.

The Whisper Plugin could be updated to allow 'all' as an option to allow all members to see the contents, while leaving guests in the dark.

Do you have plans to add this feature to the Whisper plugin or should somebody else make a new one?

One thing I don't like about the whisper plugin is the limit of tagging 5 people. Can this be updated to allow more tags also?
I do do like the tagging feature though. Nice job!

No need to shout, and yes, it would be a bit silly to suggest a change to one of my plugins if I have no plans to add it.

I'll add the ability to tag more than 5 people too.

That would be great! ... Let me know when you get around to it. Thanks!

Give this a try...

You can now add as many names as you wish, as well as whispering to 'all' members.

Not sure if this overrides a board's privacy settings? For example if somebody entered "All" to allow everybody see the post but the board it was posted in is only visible to members, would guests be able to see it or all forum members when logged in? Also, is there a way to make this board specific because I was only wanting to use it for our member blogs board? Thanks

No, all this plugin does is encrypt the part of the post you chose, and then de-crypt it again when the post is viewed by a member that is allowed to see it. It does not override any board settings...

It is not possible for a plugin to override the privacy settings of your forum.

I will make the changes to allow you to chose which board(s) you want the plugin to run on.

Sorry for the delay SafeInSanity, here's a version of the whisper plugin that is restricted to the board(s) you choose...
