Block PHP, CODE, HTML and QUOTES from Guests for vB3.7

[Boofo]

Block PHP, CODE, HTML and QUOTES from Guests for vB3.7
Version 1.0.2
(By Boofo)

What does this product do?
This is a long-overdue update of my block code hack for vB3.0, now as a product, with no file or template edits. This will block all php, code and html code from all unregistered users. Any code between those tags will be replaced will a line telling them they are not allowed to view the code and to please register. (You can change the messages to whatever you like.) Included is also an option for the QUOTE boxes. I don't use the QUOTE boxes bypass on my board, but I have the option ready in case someone decides to quote code, php or html code to try and bypass this hack. Anything between the code, php or html tags will be parsed out, even quote tags, as long as it is between one of the other tags within the quote itself. If someone just puts QUOTE tags around the code itself, then it will show as normal (unless you enable the quote option). It works in the archive, as well as the showpost and printable post. This product should work on prior versions of vB as the hooks that are used are common hooks. It also has the ability to copy the contents of the boxes to the clipboard. This works fine is IE and Opera. To enable the javascript Copy to Clipboard in Firefox or Mozilla, please read below:

"By default these javascript Copy to Clipboard buttons work perfectly on Internet Explorer and Opera browser. If Firefox or Mozilla is used, it is possible to select text and press Ctrl+C (or choose Copy from Edit menu). To enable these javascript Copy to Clipboard buttons in Firefox or Mozilla follow the guide."

* projectego clicks install :)

Thanks!

[Boofo]

Let me know how it goes. I think I caught everything for it. Also, I will be adding links and images to block also here in the near future.

[Barakat]

thanks a lot

[Kaleem]

Looks good but cant u add more options like selecting which quotes should be included and which not.

Like Enable it for every quote Code, HTML, PHP.

[Boofo]

It was written to block the code from guests so they would be more inclined to register to unblock the code. You can disable quote blocking.

[veenuisthebest]

but sir, how does it differ from the inbuilt BB Code settings in vBulletin Options.. If i'm not mistaken.. php, html and code can be shown to specific usergroups from within vB. I think it only does not show custom messages.

but i'm unable to get it to work .. the code still shows up !! do I have to change Post's Cache Lifespan to 0 ??

[Kaleem]

It was written to block the code from guests so they would be more inclined to register to unblock the code. You can disable quote blocking.
Yea it enables all the quote my suggestion was if u can add options to enable or disable on CODE, HTML, and PHP individually.

Yes.

[Boofo]

That is something I may add later on but it wasn't added for the reason I stated, this is for guest blocking. And mainly for sites that use a lot of code.

[veenuisthebest]

woww.. this works perfect for me !! without setting Post's cache lifespan to 0.

one thing sir..

Guests are not allowed to view code. To enable the
viewing of code, please click 'here' to register.

the link to here is pointing to register.php$session%5Bsessionurl_q%5D instead of register.php?session%5Bsessionurl_q%5D

thank you.

thank you.

Looks the same to me. It takes you to the register page. ;)

[veenuisthebest]

i think it should be ? instead of $ , coz its taking me to the Page not found error !!

register.php$session[sessionurl_q]

register.php?session[sessionurl_q]

[veenuisthebest]

i have corrected it in the .XML..

also.. this ain't working for me ..
(Double-click CODE box to copy code to clipboard)

no alert pops up neither it gets copied !!

thank you

[Boofo]

Are you using IE?

[veenuisthebest]

no only firefox !!

[veenuisthebest]

by the way, can you plz tell me sir, whats the difference between

file.php$session[sessionurl_q]

file.php?$session[sessionurl]

[veenuisthebest]

oh yess I see..

the code copy feature is working fine in IE

also ? instead of $ is working fine in both IE and firefox

[Boofo]

This is what some of the vb templates use.

register.php$session[sessionurl_q]

I am fixing it now. The reason your code doesn't click is it is only for IE until I can find code that will work with other browsers.

[veenuisthebest]

thanks for this cool mod sir.. really useful for me !!

i hope you'll soon add up feature to hide links as well.. :)

[Goomzee]

let me try

[Icy]

Not installed :rolleyes:

[Boofo]

Not installed :rolleyes:

This version is different than the one you have. I moved things around a bit.

[shadowevil]

it's a great mod but it only can run well on default exist tags bbcode of VBB, can't run well on tags bbcode which have editted, such as BBcode Manager mod (click here (https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/showthread.php?t=120073&highlight=bbcode+manager)), You can update to next version for run well when use BBcode Manager

[Boofo]

That would be hard to do as it might be different for many forums. There are other hacks out there that also change the bbcode templates. It would be a little hard to stay up with all of them. Since the code's blocked for guests, it really doesn't matter if the edited templates are showing since they can see anything, anyway.

[Icy]

This version is different than the one you have. I moved things around a bit.
So which one I should use?

[-=Leb=-]

Thx boofo for you awesome products <3

[Boofo]

So which one I should use?

The one posted here. Yours was a test version that I never heard back about. ;)

[veenuisthebest]

hello sir.. pleaseee add up the feature to hide links as well !!

[Mike-D]

That what I've been searched for a long time. Exactly what I need. Installed and works perfect as always, Bob :up: Thank you sooo much, Sir ;)

[Boofo]

You're welcome, sir. I am in the process of adding URL and IMG tag blocking, also. I have already added settings for the code block width in the forums and PM areas.

[Mike-D]

Perfect!!! Keep up to good work and your great ideas to share with us. Keep in touch, Bob ;) -Mike

[DiverTree]

You're welcome, sir. I am in the process of adding URL and IMG tag blocking, also. I have already added settings for the code block width in the forums and PM areas.
that would be sweet.

[Boofo]

Already done. Just tweaking the reg-exes and doing the testing phase.

[DiverTree]

Already done. Just tweaking the reg-exes and doing the testing phase.patiently waiting. :)

[neoxi]

thanks

[zikuta]

Nice mod!!! It will be appreciated if you can choose what BBCodes you want to be blocked individually: PHP, CODE, HTML, CUSTOMIZED ONES, etc...

Regards!

[Boofo]

I thought of that but why would you want some code to be shown and other code not? There is a separate setting for blocking quotes.

[zikuta]

Boofo,

for example I create a custom BBCode called [MU], here my users enter the download links for MegaUpload, I just want that registered members can see those links and Guests show a custom message or picture inviting them to register.

Is that posible?

Regards!

[veenuisthebest]

here my users enter the download links for MegaUpload

If its a link.. then he's already working on it !!

[Boofo]

That would be hard to do as there could be a zillion bbcodes like that and they might all be different. The code, php and html are standard in vb so they will be the same for everyone.

[zikuta]

Hi again,

every custom BBCode has an unique id, so making a standard mod where you can put that id and apply the Guest Limitation, sounds "theorically posible". I'm not a coder so I have no idea.

What do you think?

Also the problem is that we can't use vBulletin Conditionals when we create a custom BBCode, that would be the easier way ;)

Regards!

[YLP1]

I don't use code, html, bbcodes on my site but would love to be able to block my various media bbcodes to guests. Any future plans of giving bbcode name options so that admins can choose from their list of installed bbcodes they want to use with this product?

Thanks in advance.

[gwerzal]

Sweet was looking for something like this.

What i really need is to only allow a certain usergroup to be able to view the content.

Is this possible.

[gwerzal]

hi

i installed the product but guests can still see the code.

Am i missing something.

I have turned it on via the admincp

[veenuisthebest]

hello..

this has stopped working me too sir !! but it was definitely working fine till yesterday .. which means it must be clashing with some other mods.

I tried disabling all my other mods, but didn't helped !!.. what should I do ..

[Boofo]

Make sure the settings are set properly. If it was working fine up until yesterday, then you had to change something somewhere or added something to cause it to stop working. Try uninstalling it and reinstalling it if the settings are set properly.

[veenuisthebest]

what settings were there by the way ?? There is just one setting i.e. to enable hiding of quotes or not !!

I haven't done anything with it to cause it to stop working.. its as it was.

okayy.. so I uninstalled and installed again.. but didn't help.. its still showing up for guests..

BUT .. this is working fine in archive pages.. its not showing the code there. I can't make out why its showing up in full version pages even after a fresh install !! I EVEN TRIED DISABLING ALL OTHER MODS.

you may check at both places. Here (http://www.tech555.com/forum/archive/index.php?t-87.html) for archive and here (http://www.tech555.com/forum/showthread.php?t=87) for main page

thanks

[Boofo]

Well, things don't just stop working on their own. You've added a hack or something that has changed something. There can be no other reason.

[veenuisthebest]

Well, things don't just stop working on their own. You've added a hack or something that has changed something.

i agree.. things do not stop working on their own AND also that I have added hacks. But I have disabled them all and installed your mod fresh.

Also, I do NOT have any of Boofos Enhanced BBCODE Templates and the BBCode Layout Templates edited !!

The mod's working fine in Archive pages though. I have even uninstalled Limited Guest Viewing System coz I thought it might be the problem .. but no help ..

I have very few mods installed as well.. just 8-10

thanks

[Boofo]

The code files use the <if condition="$show['member']"> to stop unregistered users from seeing code in posts. Try testing that line with something in a post and see if it works. I can't see how that is not working. Something somewhere is messing with it.

[veenuisthebest]

I noticed few things sir,

1. The mod. is working fine for me in archive pages as well as for printable view threads :up:

2. Now, for the main view, even this simple text line (Double-click CODE box to copy code to clipboard) is not showing up over the Code box. Then when I tried to edit the post and save it, that line appeared. But still, code box is visible for guests. Is it something to do with caching of posts ??

thank you

[Boofo]

Have you changed the post cache time? And I meant to use this in a template to see if it got past it, like this

<if condition="$show['member']">
testing
</if>

[veenuisthebest]

my Cached Posts Lifespan is set to 7 days

<if condition="$show['member']">
testing
</if>

yes.. this works just fine. I tried adding this code in footer and it showed testing at the footer only for members and not for guests !!

[veenuisthebest]

I see it in boofobbcode_code template, the code box is wrapped in the same conditional, then how can guests are able to view it ??

[Boofo]

Because somewhere along the line that template is not replacing the original one. There must be a bbcode hack you installed that is messing with this.

[veenuisthebest]

there is no bbcode hack i have installed other than this

[Boofo]

Then I don't know what to tell you. Something has changed somewhere as there is no way this hack can partially stop working on it's own. My advice is to uninstall it if it isn't going to work for you with whatever you have changed.

[DiverTree]

still working fine for me ... and i hacked that template all up. :o

[Boofo]

See? There you go. Another satisfied customer. ;)

[veenuisthebest]

See? There you go. Another satisfied customer. ;)
ohhh... sir, I was more satisfied than him. This was one of the most wanted mod. by me and it worked as perfect as anything until yesterday !! its my hard luck, its not working for me now..

[Boofo]

Well. liked most things, this can be fixed. We just have to figure out what you did to stop it form working. Think back. ;)

Turn on 'Add Template Name in HTML Comments' under General Settings in the vBulletin options in the Admin CP and see if the new template names show up in the view source of the page.

[veenuisthebest]

hello,

okayy, so I enabled that option and can now view the templates names in HTML comments.

yes.. those new templates are missing for guests. In fact the whole actual message body is just between <!-- message --> and <!-- / message -->

also, there seems no difference in the source of message (code box) when viewed as both member or guest.

[Boofo]

Go into the plugin manger in the Admin CP and make sure that the parse_templates plugin for this hack is not disabled.

[veenuisthebest]

its already enabled.. all the four are enabled !!

[Jase2]

Boofo, on some quotes, it is treating my members as guests -- this displaying the message and not allowing them to see the quote. Does the same for me in certain threads....

[Boofo]

That doesn't make sense why it would work for some and not others. It should work the same for everyone. And certain threads wouldn't make any difference. Check the settings.

[veenuisthebest]

it is treating my members as guests

this also happened with me today with HTML code boxes. Yesterday it was showing the code for everyone but today I noticed hiding of the code just for members !!

i uninstalled it and rebuilt post cache ..

[Boofo]

Boofo, on some quotes, it is treating my members as guests -- this displaying the message and not allowing them to see the quote. Does the same for me in certain threads....

Scratch the code I just posted. That won't work like that. Would you rather I release an update the doesn't turn off the quote boxes for guests?

[Boofo]

this also happened with me today with HTML code boxes. Yesterday it was showing the code for everyone but today I noticed hiding of the code just for members !!

i uninstalled it and rebuilt post cache ..

Like I said before, you have something interfering with this hack as the HTML code boxes use the exact same if condition as the php and code boxes. Only the QUOTE box uses a different one. Try setting the post cache at 0 and see if that fixes your problems.

[veenuisthebest]

okayy.. after setting posts cache lifespan to 0, I notice at some threads that it is still showing up the coded box to guests and at some, it is not. It doesn't matter whether it is CODE, PHP, or HTML.

It has definitely something to do with the posts cache, i think.

[Jase2]

There is only one setting, Boofo LOL. What exactly do you want me to change? I can't see it conflicting with any of my other hacks, either. :)

[Boofo]

The setting post was not for you. This one was:

https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/showpost.php?p=1523894&postcount=69

Are the quotes the only ones you are having problems with? And do you have post caching turned on?

[JadedSouls]

*installs*

OK, keep an eye on it and see if it starts working right now with post caching turned off. If it straightens out, then I will add that warning to the first post. I have always had post caching turned off so I never ran into any problems with post caching. But there are some hacks out there that will not work right with post caching turned on.

[Jase2]

I have set Cached Posts Lifespan to 0 and it is still the same. Treating me as a guest on certain quotes, strange.

[Boofo]

Has it always been doing that and have you always had the post cache st to 0? If it just started doing this then something has changed somewhere. Something you added or changed?

[Jase2]

Ummm.... I haven't added anything. Maybe I should set the post cache to 0 and leave it overnight and see how it goes?

[veenuisthebest]

nothing's working for me .. i think I need to wait for an updated version .. thanks

[Boofo]

So, it hasn't always been set to 0? Yes, let's try it and see if that is what is causing the problem. I have a sneaky feeing that is what is doing it. I have never had this hack fail me but I have never set the post cache to anything other than 0.

[Jase2]

Ok, it is now set to 0. I'll report back tomorrow to see if there is any change (fingers-crossed) :)

[Boofo]

Have faith. Not all my hacks are crappy. A good one slips through every now and then. ;)

[veenuisthebest]

I have never set the post cache to anything other than 0

and I have never set it to 0.

okay, so i installed it once again with post cache to 0. i hope it works now

[Jase2]

Well, it is working with post cache to set to 0 :)

Although you still losing out as I won't have a cached post anymore.... =(

[Boofo]

You're not "losing out" on anything. I have never used post caching and have never had any problems. You are going to find there are more than a few hacks that won't work with post caching enabled.

[taheri6]

post cache is at 0, running 3.7 gold

This doesnt work for me following all included instructions.

it does have the '(Double-click PHP box to copy code to clipboard)" but guests are able to view qoute, code, php, html bb blocks.

[Boofo]

You must have post caching set to 0 for this to work properly.

[taheri6]

Sorry for leaving that part out, my post cache is at 0

[Boofo]

Has it always been set to 0? Or did you just change it recently?

[KHALIK]

installed,

Can you also include image codes to be blocked as well.

[csalbuchi]

I cant make it work. Tested on IE6, Firefox 2 and 3, but nothing, i still can view bbcodes as an unregistered user.

For extra information, I´m using vbulletin 3.7 gold, spanish languaje, Clean Blue Template and i dont know what kind of plugins can affect this hack.

Any ideas?

[anestetic]

dont work İE

[Rajdeep]

Not working for me using Firefox..

This is no use Mod...

[Boofo]

You're right. If I was you I would uninstall instead of reading the thread to find out why it isn't working.

[csalbuchi]

You're right. If I was you I would uninstall instead of reading the thread to find out why it isn't working.

Dont worry, I really like your other hacks, seems to me that you are doing a good work, so keep up with it!

Let me know if we can help you out with this issue. I have no experience at all as a coder, but I can help testing this and reporting what I see.

Cheers!

[Boofo]

Nothing to report as it works fine for me. You just have to set the post caching at 0, which has been posted throughout the thread.

[csalbuchi]

Sorry, I did but it still doesn´t work for me (testing with FF3)

[Boofo]

Do you have post caching turned off (set at 0)?

[Rajdeep]

How to set it to 0 ?

Nothing to report as it works fine for me. You just have to set the post caching at 0, which has been posted throughout the thread.

[veenuisthebest]

admincp->vbulletin options->Server settings and optimization settings->Cached Posts Lifespan->Set to 0

[Jase2]

Sorry, uninstalled. I prefer when I have post cache on, that way, posts aren't pulled from the database everytime they are viewed, thus less server intensive.

[Boofo]

If you want a db that has twice the post table size as someone who has it turned off, go for it. There isn't that muct difference in speed to warrant the extra db size to me. And you are going to find out you are limited from some hacks because of that. Good choice. ;)

[Jase2]

I don't think so LOL. I only pick hacks I need, and haven't got that many - no problems so far. I don't need any other hacks... :)

[Boofo]

To each his own. I wish you luck.

[anantthakor]

I am getting one problem.

same guest msg is also showing to registered users too, specially for quote msgs. :(

[Boofo]

Do you have your post cache turned off?

[anantthakor]

Dunno how to do, where to check/do ?

[csalbuchi]

Do you have post caching turned off (set at 0)?

Yes Boofo, i did :(.

[Rajdeep]

this is just a hopeless Mod, must be moved to graveyard..

firstly - its not working in post having links on code tags, but working in signature....
And showing this message to all usergroup.. even me the admin .. lolz
Guests are not allowed to view code. To enable the
viewing of code, please click 'here' to register.

[Rajdeep]

WTF MOd..

I have even uninstalled the MOd, still in the signature code tags, its showing -

Guests are not allowed to view code. To enable the
viewing of code, please click 'here' to register.

To all usergroups...

And also showing this -

(Double-click CODE box to copy code to clipboard)

What a great mod.. messed up my forum...

Now help me solve it

[Boofo]

First of all, this didn't mess up anything. Rebuild your damned post cache!

[Boofo]

The links have nothing to do with this. Did you even read the first post or install file? You need to uninstall it as it is too complicated for you to handle, I'm afraid.

[Rajdeep]

I have already uninstalled it... becoz its not working...
Its not hiding the code in post.. but hiding in siggy and that to for all usergroups.. Full of bugs..
I really need this Mod, I am thankful to you for making, but its requires to be fixed.. I hope you will launch new version soon

Sorry for being rude..

Thanks

The links have nothing to do with this. Did you even read the first post or install file? You need to uninstall it as it is too complicated for you to handle, I'm afraid.

[Boofo]

The link part doesn't make any sense as I don't handle links with this. It just hides anything between the tags for the 4 main bbcode templates. Other added bbcode is never touched. The only other way I can think of to get this working properly for you is to have you do the template changes manually on the 4 templates.

And you apology is accepted.

[Rajdeep]

Can you please tell me which 4 edits

Thanks

[anantthakor]

Yes Let me tell also :)

[Boofo]

If you look in the XML, it has all 4 templates edits in there. The ones that say boofocode are the ones. Or is you have it installed, you can disable it and look at the templates from the hack in there and use those.

[nirvana43]

its not working man!! i've installed this product... please visit www.projectsplanet.com
i tried both YES and NO settings but it still displays contents of BBCODE
please help :(

[anantthakor]

but tell me who to disable post cache

[Boofo]

Go to your vbulletin options under the Server Settings and Optimization Options. Set Cached Posts Lifespan to 0.

You guys really need to read the thread as this information has already been posted.

[anantthakor]

Any other effect to board after changing post cache setting ?

*Edit = I did as u said but nothing happened.

[nirvana43]

Go to your vbulletin options under the Server Settings and Optimization Options. Set Cached Posts Lifespan to 0.

You guys really need to read the thread as this information has already been posted.

thanks man its working lika charm now!! :D

[DiverTree]

wow ... i was beginning to think i was the only one that had this mod installed and working. maybee i should have refrained from reading the instructions so i could join in all the bashing. :rolleyes:

did somebody say "graveyard" :confused: :mad:

im pretty sure this modification is greatly appreciated by those that took the time to read up on what theyre installing ... thanks boofo. :) working fine from day one. :cool:

[Boofo]

Thank you for the nice comments. It's good to see someone appreciate this hack instead of bashing it because they don't bother to read the instructions.

[fariborz]

Double Click for copying codes and links is disabled in firefox
Please resolve this problem.

[Boofo]

Please read the first post on how to enable that in FF.

[fariborz]

thanks boofo

[saotome]

very nice, finally i found this plugin at here.. thanks
