Swear word filter per forum

[trancetopia]

Hi, if anyone can do this I would be most greatful.

I need the swearword filter to be active on selected forums only. There is a mod for v3 that does this and i'd like to see the same or similar for v3.6.4

Hope anyone can help.

Thanks

Agreed.

was this possible in the end?

Just create a plugin to turn it off in some forums - maybe fetch_foruminfo hook location?
if ($forumid == 'x')
{
$vbulletin->options['whatever_the_option_is_called'] = '0';
}

Hi Lynne

Thanks for the reply - but i'm a newb when it comes to code lol. Where would you plant the code? - the XML template?

Any tips?

Best place to start is with the manual - Plugin System (http://www.vbulletin.com/docs/html/plugin_system)
See if that makes any sense and then post back with any questions.

I've done this myself, and it works perfectly. However, I'd like to find a way of deactivating the filter in posts but not in thread titles.

If I put this into fetch_postinfo instead of fetch_foruminfo, will it deactivate the filter in posts (in the specified forum) but retain the default filter setting for thread titles?

I don't know, I've never tried it. Try it on your test site and see. Or do a quick test on your live board if you don't have a test site. You may have to replace $forumid with $thread['forumid'], but I'm not sure.

Yes, seems to have worked! Same exact code, just placed into fetch_postinfo instead of fetch_foruminfo.

I retained the fetch_foruminfo plug, but disabled it.

Ah, sadly, no, I was wrong. Thread titles censored, yes. Previous posts in threads not censored, yes. BUT new posts in threads are censored. I've set it back to the way it was until I can think of other things to try.
