Hi,

I have this mod installed, and I'm having problems with it. I have 3 types of usergroups(Admin(which is me) one moderator and several members. Everytime I go to use this mod in a selected forum catagory it keeps posting my supposdly annoymous posts as my members user names instead of just a the defualt setting.

Any idea's as to what would cause this to happen?

Mike.

I was using this MOD on 3.8.4 successfully. I uploaded 3.8.4 PL1 and it isn't working. I read about editing the templates, but it has been so long, if I did this, I don't remember what I did. Can anyone tell me what broke?

I meant to post back. Did you get it fixed? I did find that the update, this time, did wipe out my template changes. That resolved the issue.

Can you make certain forums ONLY allowing anonymous posting?

Yes. That is one of the features of the plug-in.

How do I make it on by default?

Found it on your community:

I found out a way to automatically check the box.

Click "Search In Templates" and search for this piece of code:

<if condition="$show['anonymous']"><div><input type="checkbox" id="cb_anonymous" class="bginput" name="anonymous" value="1"

Now replace it with this:

<if condition="$show['anonymous']"><div><input type="checkbox" id="cb_anonymous" class="bginput" name="anonymous" value="1" checked="checked"

The box will automatically be checked now.

Thanks to Jase2, as I came up with this idea based off his hack:

any chance for an upgrade to VB4?

BBF	03-17-2010 07:29 AM

I upgraded it by myself to vBulletin 4.
But i need author permission to release it.
His last activity was in April 2009 =\

It's one of the last mods I'm waiting for before I move to vB4, maybe PM one of the Mods or Admin on here, see what they say.

BBF, and chance you could get back to my PM mate. Thanks.

This is something I definately need. How do I go about installing it? I'm not real cyber savvy but can follow simple instructions. LOL Thanks!

ktaylor

04-08-2010 07:33 AM

was it difficult to update BBF? or just one or 2 modifications to the plugin?

MrRem

04-08-2010 07:59 AM

Is there a way like the old Anon posting to make replies show like this:

Anon A
Anon B replied
Anon A replied
Anon C replied

etc.

So each new Anon user has their own Anon posting so conversations are easier to follow?

ktaylor

04-10-2010 07:04 AM

i bet you'd have to create users in order for that to occur and then have the software point to those users, understanding when they should pop in...which might be some fairly extensive coding

I hope they say the update can be released to the public. it looks like the author has left town and isn't coming back.

ktaylor

04-20-2010 05:02 AM

well, that makes me wonder if, since the author is gone, can a new version be put up by a new author then?

the software is open source is it not?

ktaylor

05-04-2010 09:37 AM

well, i went over to the Zoints forum and like others previously, posted a request to either get an update or allow the other member to post his.

and after a week of it being posted, no response. shoot, with that, i'd say they no longer want to own this component.

here's the forum if anyone wants to let them know that there's more than just a few of us interested in getting this upgrade.

I started that thread, and have just given them another plea to upgrade it!

There was an old Anon Posting mod that did exactly that though.
was for version 2 though.

To remove the IP address so mods can't see who it is do the following:

Edit the postbit or postbit legacy template.
Replace the number '51' with the forumid of your anonymous forum.

Find:

Code:

$post[onlinestatus]

Above it add:

Code:

<if condition="$thread['forumid'] != 51"> 

Find:

Code:

$post[iplogged]

Below it add

Code:

</if>

I took a quick glance at the code, the upgrade to vBulletin 4.0 is very simple, a single template edit; I'll post the template change tomorrow.

This of course is an exact port of the current mod: attachments will still not work, who's online will still show information (but I think you can disable User is Viewing X Thread per forum via the forum manager, which may be a temporary solution)...etc,etc,...

Please TEST these edits before making them live on your active forum. There is no guarantee the code works, I tested it briefly on a single local development forum on vB 4.0.1 !
__________________________________________

1.) Template Edit

Open template "newpost_usernamecode"

Find:

HTML Code:

    </div>

</vb:if>

Add above :

HTML Code:

<vb:else />

<vb:if condition="$show['anonymous']">

              {vb:phrase anon_posting_as} {vb:raw bbuserinfo.musername} <br />

              <label for="cb_anonymous"><input type="checkbox" id="cb_anonymous" class="bginput" name="anonymous" value="1"  <vb:if condition="$vbulletin->GPC['anonymous']">checked="checked"</vb:if>/>{vb:phrase zointsanony_anonymous_post}</label>

</vb:if>

2. ) Add Phrase:

Phrase Type: Posting
Product: Zoints Anonymous Posting
Variable name: anon_posting_as
Text: "Currently Posting As"

Thanks for this, i have installed it but i want this to be avaliable to everyone and not just one user, can that be done? It asks for userid

Guest190829

07-29-2010 07:34 PM

The userid is the ID of the user account you want to show up as the Anonymous poster (you should create this via the Admin CP), not who can use it. Make sense?

Thanks Danny.VBT! You are the man. :) I've been wanting to use this mod again and was actually coming here to download it and update the code for vB4 myself, lol. :)

when going to the advanced post new thread or post screen the "title" field is really tiny now after the template edit.

suggestions?

Of course the above relies on trusting users to be truthful... I know for a fact sometimes my users will pretend to be the original poster, when they are not- because I'm the OP. :)

08-24-2010 04:07 PM

haha yeah, you're right, but you kicked up a fuss, right? As admin, I'd just go to the anonymous log and deal with the imposter, if it ever came to it
