newbie question :) what does HTL stand for?


oops.. I read the book :)

I just found out what I needed to know :)

[Sadie Frost]

It's KuraFire's Hack Tracking Log hack :) Kind of like vbhacker, but not :D

[LeeCHeSSS]

Is this similar to the thread banning hack made by John for vB2 (https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/showpost.php?p=370828&postcount=1) ?

[magnus]

Is this similar to the thread banning hack made by John for vB2 (https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/showpost.php?p=370828&postcount=1) ?

Hrm, I've never seen that one before. It's similar in the fact that there is banning, but with that one it's an administrative option. With mine, it's at the original thread author's discretion as to who shouldn't be allowed to reply.

For instance, if I have a problem with {user x} who is always trolling my threads and flamebaiting me, I can put {user x} in the "Banned Posters" field when I create my thread, and he will be unable to reply.

This is purely at a user level, not administrative.

[magnus]

Quick edit for aesthetic purposes:

In newthread template,

Find:

$vbphrase[banned_users_desc]


Replace with:

$vbphrase[banned_users_desc]<br />


This has been updated in the zip file, so this is only necessary for previous installations. Nothing else has changed.

[FleaBag]

Looks good - will probably use. Cheers. :)

Hrm, are you including the ";" at the end? There's no reason for that query not to work, you can try removing the " . TABLE_PREFIX ." portion (provided you don't actually use a table prefix).

Sure, encompass the template edits with:

Of course, replace "XX" with the usergroup you wish to allow.

That's what I said to do, heh. Seems RC3 doesn't like " . TABLE_PREFIX . " .. odd.

BUGFIX!
With the existing preg_split() statement, users with spaces in their name could cause problems for other users which share a common world. For example, if the user "BIG BAD GUY" is banned from a thread, inherently the user "BIG BOY" would be banned because of the shared word, "BIG". With the following fix, that will be fixed:

In newreply.php:

Find: ** NOTE, THERE ARE TWO INSTANCES OF THIS, REPLACE BOTH! **

$usernames = preg_split('/( )+/', trim(strtolower($threadinfo['bannedposters'])), -1, PREG_SPLIT_NO_EMPTY);


Replace with:

$usernames = preg_split('/,+/', trim(strtolower($threadinfo['bannedposters'])), -1, PREG_SPLIT_NO_EMPTY);


The only drawback to this fix, is now users are comma delimited instead of space. So, you'll need to update the phrase (bannd_users_desc) to reflect this, personally, I use List of users, separated by commas, who cannot reply to this thread. (ie. user1,user2).

This has been updated in the attachment in the first post, only existing users need to concern themselves with this.

[Allan]

I have to install 2 times the hack, I have a sql error when I click on the button "newthread", I specify that I am in rc3, year idea on the problem?

another thing about the bugfix, this line does not exist in the RC3 In "newthread.php":

That error doesn't tell me anything, unfortunately. When you get that error, right click and select View Source. The actual error should be in the source, if you could post that here I could fix it.

Or, give me a link to your site so I can see for myself. I'm sure this is a very simple fix. ;)

after many test, I am realized that that comes from the moment or I replace this:


// get special phrase groups
$phrasegroups = array('threadmanage', 'posting', 'postingbans');

in the "newthread.php" file

[magnus]

Man, life would be so much easier if I understood French.. in any event, run the following SQL query:


SELECT * FROM `phrasetype` WHERE fieldname = 'postingbans';


It should return the "User-Defined Posting Bans" phrasetype entry. If not, you skipped this step in the instructions:


INSERT INTO `phrasetype` VALUES (152, 'postingbans', 'User-Defined Posting Bans', 3);

Hrm, the only variable here is that you're running RC4. I developed that hack on RC2, although that should be irrelevant. I just finished upgrading to RC4 about 15 minutes ago, so I'll know for sure soon since I have to re-hack everything.

You're missing a sentence because either a phrase is missing, more specifically:

INSERT INTO `phrase` VALUES (17189, 0, 'banned_users_desc', 'List of users, separated by commas, who cannot reply to this thread. (ie. user1,user2)', 152);

or you forgot to add 'postingbans' to the $phrasegroup variable in newthread.php.

Also, you cannot modify the banned users by simply editing the first post -- you must edit the thread itself via "Thread Tools" -> "Edit Thread".

[Allan]

not, I have to check I have to add this request sql well

INSERT INTO `phrase` VALUES (17189, 0, 'banned_users_desc', 'List of users, separated by commas, who cannot reply to this thread. (ie. user1,user2)', 152);


indeed, I had to forget to add:

'postingbans'

I just installed this on my recently upgraded RC4 install, in fact, I was so confident I did it on my live forum. I followed my instructions, step-by-step, and it works flawlessly.

I would be glad to help you fix this, if you'd like. I'm sure it's a simple mistake. Could you create a temporary login/pass so I could check the edited files?

Man, I need to stop drinking early in the afternoon. Yes, I modified the file earlier. That should be 'postings.php' -- not 'newthread.php'. It's fixed now. The added line, however, has no effect on functionality. It simply allows phrases to be used when editing the thread via Thread Tools.

veiled, I have executer this request, to install without problem, but the result is the same one, error SQL

Another thing, I have to try to reinstall your hack this morning with the job, even sql error However, if one removes:


'postingbans'


to


// get special phrase groups
$phrasegroups = array('threadmanage', 'posting', 'postingbans');


the hack functions put well has share the lack of text has this level (see screen)

[magnus]

Ok, obviously the problem is you haven't created the phrasegroup 'postingbans'. That's what all these errors are telling you.

This SQL query is the one that adds that:
INSERT INTO `phrasetype` VALUES (152, 'postingbans', 'User-Defined Posting Bans', 3);

Are you using a prefix for your tables? If so, you may need to adjust the queries. I don't use additional languages on my forum, so I'm not sure if you need to include the "language.*" prefix.

In any event, this is undoubtedly your problem, as I stated before.

[Allan]

not, I do not employ a table prefixed

the request mentions above passed well, it are similar :(

[Allan]

I have to ask has a friend to test your hack, it also has the same problem as me to know the error sql, I am to afflict, but the hack does not function

[magnus]

Wait, are you asking me to have a friend install the hack? Or, are you telling me that you had a friend install the hack?

In any event, there's not really much more I can do to help unless you can create a temporary account on your system so I can check everything for myself. I'm 99.9% sure it's something simple, SQL related. I've installed this on 3 RC4 forums, and it worked fine.

[magnus]

Socrate, it just dawned on me what the problem was.

Run this query:

ALTER TABLE `language` ADD `phrasegroup_postingbans` MEDIUMINT NOT NULL;


That will fix your problem. I've gone ahead and updated the .TXT file.

good, that still does not go (see screen1), the text does not appear.

I have thus to add the sentences in ACP STATE manually (via manager language, screen2) and the text appears (your requests sql for the addition of the sentences does not function apparement)

==================================================

a council, to remove these 4 requests :


INSERT INTO `phrasetype` VALUES (152, 'postingbans', 'User-Defined Posting Bans', 3);

INSERT INTO `phrase` VALUES (17188, 0, 'banned_users', 'Banned Users', 152);

INSERT INTO `phrase` VALUES (17189, 0, 'banned_users_desc', 'List of users, separated by commas, who cannot reply to this thread. (ie. user1,user2)', 152);

INSERT INTO `phrase` VALUES (17190, 0, 'banned_from_posting', 'You have been prohibited by the thread author from posting in this thread!', 1000);


who seems to pose problems, and to replace them by manual installation of the sentences in the ACP ;)

Yikes! I'm sorry for the incredibly late reply, but for some reason I wasn't getting e-mail updates on this thread!

As for the text not showing up, go to your Phrases Manager, and select "edit" on any random phrase. Then, click "save". You don't actually have to make any changes, but for some reason this sort of "re-synchs" the database.

When I run this one:

Yes. In fact, I went ahead and removed the added phrasegroup altogether now. You can simply insert the phrases into the GLOBAL phrasegroup instead.

Okay, thanks! v1.2 is now successfully running. It worked fine without all the HTL business.

The only problem (and it might be my fault) is that the box where people input the list in newthread is not explained (see attached). If it is my problem, feel free to tell me to bug off....but if I am the first person to install since v1.2, then I want to report this potential issue just to be fair. Either way, nice work and thanks for the effort.

When did you install? If it was in the past day, chances are you need to go to the Phrase Manager in AdminCP. Then, select any random phrase, click Edit, then click Save. You don't need to make any changes, this just synchronizes the Phrase database.

That should do it for you. Let me know. :)

That solved the issue. Thank you!

Not sure if this hack is still being supported, but I'm having a hard time getting it to work. Mainly, ignored users can still post in threads that they shouldn't be able to.

Just wondering if someone was thinking about porting this to version 3.5 If not I might take a crack at it :nervous:

Thanks....
