links only for selected usergroups

[luroca]

Please, excuse my poor English, I post mostly with a online translator.

This simple hack allows to post links to websites only to selected usegroups.
Naturally, you must edit the plugin to set your authorized usergroups.
Example:
If the user is of a authorized usergroup, in the post it appears this:
www.vbulletin.com/forum

If he is not authorized, it appears:
NO_LINK

If this hack exists, sorry but I don?t find it.
Thanks to MioTraGusa for his aportation.

Don?t be timid, click Install :)

Please, feel free to improve and correct this hack.

any screenshot?

I think he explained the basics above and even I got the jist of it without the need for a screen shot and I am dumb and fat lol....

[luroca]

No problem, one screenshot :)

[lexx27]

Thanks! I know that he explains it well but i prefer to see it than imagine it. Do we have the option to change the "no_link" with something else? I think your hack is very useful!

[luroca]

Do we have the option to change the "no_link" with something else?Yes, you can edit the plugin and to change NO_LINK with another message.

Great! Installs

Can anyone tell m how I can reverse the permissions ? Usually we all have a whole bunch of usergroups and wouldn´t it be more effectiv to let this script check, wether the visitor is a not registered user (or banned, or miserable or whatever user) and hides the link with the given phrase while all others see & can klick the link ?

I´ve got about 32 usergroups (and counting) and it´s a mess, to set the permissions new every time you´ll add one..

Can anyone provide th code for that ?

[luroca]

A plugin for not registered (and so) can not see links? It looks easy, I work in it.

Something is messing up - I setup all the usergroups which should see links but whatever I do links don?t show up for any of the specified groups.

Used code :
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="ISO-8859-1"?>

<plugins>
<plugin active="1" product="vbulletin">
<title>No links</title>
<hookname>postbit_display_complete</hookname>
<phpcode><![CDATA[if (!is_member_of($post, 2, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, 11, 12, 13, 14, 15, 16, 17, 18 ,19, 20, 21, 22, 23, 24, 25, 26, 27, 28, 29, 30, 31, 32, 33, 34, 35, 36, 37, 38, 39, 40, 41, 42))
{
$this->post['message'] = ereg_replace('(http|www)([[:alnum:]/\n+-=%&:_.~?]+[#[:alnum:]+]*>)', '</a>(<a href="http://www.domain.tld/register.php" title="Please register first or login!" target="_blank">No link ?</a>)', $this->post['message']);
}]]></phpcode>
</plugin>
</plugins>

Should work, or ?

[Marv]

Btw: a little enhancement:

$this->post['message'] = ereg_replace('(http|www)([[:alnum:]/\n+-=%&:_.~?]+[#[:alnum:]+]*>)', '</a>(<a href="http://www.domain.tld/register.php" title="Please register first or login!" target="_blank">No link ?</a>)', $this->post['message']);

will show the unregistered users the best way of getting rid of the "No Links" problem ;)


With your permission, luroca, I attach an updated xml in here. Please remember to deinstall the original xml before using this one or for some reasons the changes are not updated in your forums.

[luroca]

You don´t need my permission to post modifications but the only change I see in your version it´s that instead of NO_LINK message you put your own customized message :surprised:

Sure, beside that the hack won?t work as mentioned two posts before - and I have no glue why.

On the other side, I?ve tried to work with <phpcode><![CDATA[if (is_member_of($post, ... which I?m pretty sure should reverse the !is_member_of statement. But still no go - any ideas ?

Sorry, I am not sure of understand well, this hack if for not to post links, not for not to see links.
if (!is_member_of($post, 2, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, 11, 12, 13, 14, 15, 16, 17, 18 ,19, 20, 21, 22, 23, 24, 25, 26, 27, 28, 29, 30, 31, 32, 33, 34, 35, 36, 37, 38, 39, 40, 41, 42)) I don?t know if this is important but it must be 18, 19, 20, not 18 ,19, 20,
