and replace with:

ENGINE=MyISAM

Then try the import again. Worked for me in Vbulletin 4.1.12 after the change.

Thanks for the post...couldn't get it to work on my 3.7 site before the change.

Does it work on 4.1?

Anyone know if it works on 3.8? I assume it does - or at least I'm going to try it anyway.

Also, does anyone know if there's a way to moderate posts made under "Anonymous"? If I set the "Anonymous" user to require moderation for new threads/posts, does that work - i.e. does vBulletin "see" the Anonymous account as the poster, or the original, actual poster - therefore bypassing the moderation?

I can't set the forum to be moderated, as I also want non-anon posting to be unmoderated.

EDIT: Oops, just searched and found this post - I'm going to try it. I only want anonymous posts in forum X to be moderated. Non-anon posts can goo straight through. Let me see if that hack still works!

Works fine in 3.8.

i've installed this mod on version 4 and its working properly but i can't access the logs.

does anyone know how i can fix things so that i can access the anonymous logs? i checked the database and the users that use this mod are being logged in the database. i think its just not giving me the link in the adminCP to look at the mod and i can't really guess what the link is supposed to be.

08-20-2012 04:05 AM

logs and mod work fine in 4.2 using code posted on page 11 best I can tell. Thanks for this!

Any way to make it work through quick reply, though?

Okay, so I've got it installed (after some changes to the XML file), but turns out it hasn't enabled anonymous posting yet. It keeps giving me the following error when I try to update it in options:

Quote:

Warning: trim() expects parameter 1 to be string, array given in [path]/includes/adminfunctions_options.php on line 1032

Gist of it: I can't enable anonymous posting even after installing the mod :(

BirdOPrey5

09-17-2012 08:59 AM

Why did you need to edit the XML file? What changes did you make?

pacman99

09-20-2012 09:43 PM

^ I think I changed "TYPE" to "ENGINE" as suggested on page 11.

Anyway, that error has gone away, but now my users (non-admin) can't see the anonymous posting option when in the forums that I've selected in my user options.

What to do? :( :confused:

When I post and quote using Anonymous, it puts tags around everything [ SIZE="a"]Another test[ /SIZE]

I'm using 3.8.3 Any Ideas?

I am having this issue :(.
It is because we have Default User Text Formatting installed.
When it's converting the old user into anonymous.. something is happening to the text.
It's adding [FONT="a"] and [SIZE="a"] and [COLOR="a"] to the posts, but only the SIZE is visible.
How can this be fixed?

Update to vB 5???

crn	04-07-2013 02:24 AM

I've made the change listed on page 11 (changing the text on line 24 to "ENGINE=MYISAM", but I can't seem to get this to work on vb 4.2.

It says it installed correctly, and I can set the options to enable it for different forums, but the anonymous posting never works and there's no option to choose to post anonymously. Any ideas?

EDIT: Nevermind. I needed to add the code to the template. And the updated code, not the code included in the install.txt.

the new code is from here

Code:

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



zointsanony_anonymous_post}</div></vb:if>

Find:

$post[onlinestatus]

Above it add:

Code:

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

Find:

Code:

$post[iplogged]

Below it add

Code:

</if> 

So far got everything working with 4.2.1 but this. Anyone know what to look for in the 4.2.1 postbit to get this to work?

BirdOPrey5

06-21-2013 09:58 AM

In VB4 you should look for:

Code:

{vb:raw post.iplogged}

And put a VB4 conditional around it.

VB4 conditionals at just like VB3 conditionals except they look like <vb:if...> </vb:if> rather than <if...> </if>.

So I looked and I can't find the following in newpost_usernamecode:

Code:

                <phrase 1="member.php?$session[sessionurl]u=$bbuserinfo[userid]" 2="$bbuserinfo[username]">$vbphrase[logged_in_as_x]</phrase>

04-04-2014 05:47 AM

Dont know if this will help but I got it to work in newpost_username template by placing the code that Dragonbyte Tech mentioned here: https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/showthrea...11#post2161211 at the bottom of the template, it what worked for us.

Save your template first before editing so you can revert it if anything goes wrong.

newpost_username template:

PHP Code:


		
			
<vb:if condition="!$show['member']">
    <div class="blockrow">
        <label for="username">{vb:rawphrase your_username}:</label>
        <input type="text" class="primary textbox" id="username" name="username" value="{vb:raw bbuserinfo.username}" tabindex="1" />
    
        <vb:if condition="$_SERVER['REQUEST_METHOD'] != 'POST'">
            <p class="description"><a href="javascript://" onclick="return highlight_login_box();">{vb:rawphrase click_here_to_log_in}</a></p>
        </vb:if>
<vb:else />
<vb:if condition="$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>
    </div>
</vb:if>

I wanted it to display in the additional options box though so instead of editing the newpost_usernamecode template I edited
newpost_disablesmiliesoption
After

Code:

<li><label for="cb_disablesmilies"><input type="checkbox" name="disablesmilies" value="1" id="cb_disablesmilies" {vb:raw checked.disablesmilies} tabindex="1" /> {vb:rawphrase disable_smilies_in_text}</label></li>

I added

Code:

<vb:if condition="$show['anonymous']"><div><input type="checkbox" id="cb_anonymous" class="bginput" name="anonymous" value="1" /> {vb:rawphrase zointsanony_anonymous_post}</div></vb:if>

That's it, should see a checkbox to post anonymously in the additional options of the editor under the option to disable smilies. The rest of the code worked fine for me on 4.0.8 and 4.1.1

Dylan

This works for 4.2.2 PL1 if you follow the instructions including the change to "ENGINE=MYISAM".

I may take over and re-code the whole modification from scratch as well as adding a few more options but we'll see. I'll have it create a masked name when the user posts or something different. I'll add hiding IP's as an option too.

Hello,

For anyone who wants to add/enable a check box for post anonymously at the Quick Reply box, Here's how:

Tested and working with vBulletin 4.2.2 Patch Level 1.

It just requires one template change and 1 plugin to be created. The plugin is what allows the if statement to work on the showthread page (where the quick reply is).

1. Go to your admincp
2. Navigate to Plugins & Products, and then into Add New Plugin
3. Enter the following:

Product: Zoints Anonymous Posting
Hook Location: showthread_start
Title: Enable Anonymous Posting (Quick Reply)
Execution Order: 5
Plugin PHP Code:

PHP Code:


		
			


$show['anonymous'] = false;

if ($vbulletin->options['zointsanony_enabled'] AND $vbulletin->options['zointsanony_userid'])

{

    $anonyforums = explode(',',$vbulletin->options['zointsanony_forums']);

    foreach ($anonyforums AS $fid)

    {

        if ($fid == $forumid)

        {

            $show['anonymous'] = true;

        }

    }

}

4. Set plugin to Active.
5. Save
6. Go to your Style Manager and edit the following template SHOWTHREAD.

Find:

PHP Code:


		
			


<li><label for="cb_openclose">

                    <input type="checkbox" name="openclose" id="cb_openclose" value="1" tabindex="1" />

                    <vb:if condition="$show['closethread']">{vb:rawphrase close_this_thread}<vb:else />{vb:rawphrase reopen_this_thread}</vb:if>

                </label></li>

Below, Add:

PHP Code:


		
			


<vb:if condition="$show['anonymous']"><div><input type="checkbox" id="cb_anonymous" class="bginput" name="anonymous" value="1" checked="checked" /> {vb:rawphrase zointsanony_anonymous_post}</div></vb:if>

7. Save

Now go to a thread in a forum where you have Anonymous posting enabled, and you should see the Quick Reply Anonymous option at Quick Reply box.

Thanks to vespillo and New Joe for the help. I collected the information above from their replies.

I'm having a brain fart on how to get this to work on 4.2.2. :P

Also the only way to know who the poster is can only be done via the Admin CP?

04-19-2015 11:09 AM

got it working , turns out you need to put in the userid , i had it set at the wrong id default of 0 , which caused the plugin not to work , once i changed it to my userid i had set up when i first install the plugin a few months ago , it worked again

Alternatively, just download the XML file I uploaded. I did the change for you :)

Okay there is two issues with your second PHP:
1) Users who don't have permission to open/close the thread = the Anon checkbox doesn't appear for them.
2) The checkbox is ticked. I'd rather have it unticked.

Thanks to MarkFL for the additional help. Although I did actually manage to do it myself, it wasn't as clean as his solution.

I uploaded a screenshot of it being added, to help avoid confusion for where the code should be added.
Enjoy :)

And the log looks something like this:

Bugs:
- The date is correct, but the post number is not. That was post #1 not post #10.
- Only threads created using the anon feature will appear, posts will not.

How to remove IP address from appearing under certain forum sections from moderators:

How to make this plugin, usergroup specific for those who can anon post:
https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/showpost....27&postcount=4
So step 6, you would add this instead:

Note: Just for the forums you highlight, ^those are the usergroups (X,Y....etc) that can see the anonymous checkbox.
So no, it won't allow you to have multiple forums, each having their own usergroup permissions.

Hello guys, I am currently trying to migrate the functionality to vBulletin 5.
Is anyone trying to do the same?

I am stuck trying to save that the post was anonymous, described in this post.

Elixar

What would be really awesome is to allow who can see the username of the actual poster in the postbit.

I have attached an add-on to this product that will:

Display the "True Author" of anonymously made posts to selected usergroups in the postbit. You select these groups in the product settings.
Update the "anonymous_log" table for posts made using the "Quick Reply." This may only be an issue for vB 4.x users.
