Replace censored text with an image

[Gary King]

Replace censored text with an image

What does this hack do?

Instead of replacing censored text with a character (like censor with ******), it will instead replace the text with one user-defineable image instead.

How do I install this?

Simply read the instructions in the attached file.


Notes

This hack will...
only work for forums where either HTML code and/or image BB code is enabled
not censor properly in thread topics

If there is enough demand for the above features to be included, then I will include them.

Nice one Gary.... If i can find an interesting image I'll use it

[Christine]

Wow -- that was quick! :classic:

I am having a problem with it though -- It is pulling through the path to the image path on the post, not the image itself.

What am I missing?

Cheers!

Please copy and paste the code where you have included the image's path, and maybe 2-3 lines above and below it.

[Christine]

Here ya go! while (list($key,$val)=each($censorword)) {
if ($val!="") {
if (substr($val,0,2)=="\\{") {
$val=substr($val,2,-2);

$text=trim(preg_replace("/([^A-Za-z])".$val."(?=[^A-Za-z])/si","\\1".repeatchar($censorchar,strlen($val))," $text "));
} else {
$censorimage="http://www.sitename.com/images/attach/censored.gif";
$text=trim(preg_replace("/$val/si","<img src='$censorimage'>"," $text "));
}
}

Cheers!

[Christine]

Here is another image to look at as well.

Cheers!

[Boofo]

I'm having the same problem as Christine. No image, just the path shows.

[Gary King]

Mind posting a URL to a post containing a censored word so I can see the output?

This hack works for me, so I am not too sure on what the problem might be at this point.

[Boofo]

I have html and image tags turned off, could that have anything to do with it?

[Gary King]

Please read the update instructions file.

[Boofo]

So that was the problem then. Ok, can't use it. ;)

[Christine]

Gary, I am sorry -- I am confused here. I don't see anything in the instructions that I didn't do. I attached the file I am working from.

[Boofo]

There's an updated file attached to the first post. ;)

[gmarik]

Christine, nice.

[Christine]

Gary, can you double check the code for instruction set #2?

Those three lines of code are making me white screen.

Cheers!

[Breaker]

what is the difference between part 1 and part 2 of the instructions..........

nice hack though, may use for something other than censoring

[grog6]

Or you could use this smilie too :D

EDIT : Oupss, havn't seen your smilie before Gary W , sorry for this stupid post :p

[Tubbie]

very funny hack!

*install*

Quoted from the installation file:THERE ARE TWO PARTS TO THE INSTALLATION.
PART 1) USE THIS IF YOU HAVE HTML CODE ENABLED IN YOUR FORUMS
PART 2) USE THIS IF YOU HAVE IMAGE BB CODE ENABLED IN YOUR FORUMS

Thanks for the comments! :)

Could you just put <img src = or [img] in the replacement field in AdminCP?

[X-Fan]

What if you've got both HTML and BB IMG code enabled in some forums? Which code set do you use in that case?

Either one.

You could, but the replacement field is not meant for that. It's generally not a good idea to use it for things besides what it's actually for.

Also, it would mess up some things, like the subject area. Try using the replacement field, use a censored word in the subject, and then edit the subject - the input field gets messed up.

Any working URL site?

If you are wondering if this works or not, it does. Just try it out; the installation is very short and simple.

[Steve W.]

Installed and working at http://rockpop.goldenpie.com/forums for those wanting an example ;)

Brilliant hack, Gary! Well done!!

[Mellow]

Here's an Image that I'll use for this one, just in case someone want it.

Great hack so far, but I did find something I was hoping you can fix. What ever words are in the brackets {censoredword} in the admin cp don't get replaced by the image file. How would I fix that?

That is not a default replacement is it?

[Silverstangs]

no the words that are seperated by spaces are the default replacement, the ones in brackets are more specific to certain way a word is used. for example the word assemble would have the first three assemble charactors censored out. but if you put those three assemble charators in brackets on the censor list, it will only take the first three charactors out if they appear alone.

[Gary King]

Is this a hack you are using for vBulletin 2? Or is this vBulletin 3?

[Roxie]

I'm confused. Can't you just use the word for the smilies..?
For instance if I want to censor the word H-e-l-l, I could name the censored smilie h e l l and then when someone types it, they get the image?

[Gary King]

If you want to, sure then go ahead :)

[Silverstangs]

Is this a hack you are using for vBulletin 2? Or is this vBulletin 3?
Opps sorry

I am running Version 2.3.3 over at www.stangcountry.com

[Gary King]

I don't think that what you mentioned is a default function of vBulletin 2.

[Silverstangs]

I tried using the short letters for the censorword, so instead of astricks I got :cnsr::csnr: repeadiatly, so you will need to use the hack.

[streamzone]

is there same hack for vBB 3.0.3?
