Thank you Abe, I will be "donating" soon ;)

Anyway to get custom BBcodes incorporated with it?

This is cool.

Good job. Very neatly done - the code, that is - and the interface too. Keep it up.

EDIT: One minor thing: I would call the actual admincp section "Enable BBCode Override for This Usergroup" - because "override" is easier to understand than "advanced options".

This is interesting. Is there a way to use this to, for example, not let guests (unregistered users) see IMG images? Or is it just for "using" those tags?

I believe that if this hack works correctly, guests will not be able to see images inside IMG tags if the tag is set to off for guest usergroup. They will, however, be able to see the raw-text - which will essentially reveal the link or w/e. If you really want to hide something from guests, use HIDE Hack Resurrection (by posts=0 to hide stuff from guests) :)

This hack des not control IMG. (at least not yet) It contrals the usage of BB Code that is in the main vb settings group 'bb code settings'.

This could be helpful on my forums. Thanks man!

This is great, any change you'll also add support for custom bbcodes? I'd love to make some admin/mod-only bbcodes ;)

Since there is no IMG option in vBulletin, I don't think there is any point in adding it to your hack. Besides, an IMG can always be opened by copy-pasting the URL.. :)

As for custom admincp-added bbcodes - yes that would be great :)
And it would also be great if you could make a separate textarea where you could specify a list of custom bbcodes added into code via hacks - to be later parsed in your hack via a regex... :)

Any news on custom bbcodes? :)

Doesn't look like it's possable unless VB loads the custom bbcode admin PHP with hooks.

Is there anyway to make this work without uploading a file via ftp`?

Nope.

Clicked Install for future reference. Thanks for the hack!

would be nice if you gave examples of the codes that isn't standard..

Would be cool if you added THIS ..or an option to add own codes.
Since now anyone could figure the Mod and Admin codes out.. and well, they're a good add-on ^^

Ok, it seem like a nice hack.
But
I have 2 more BBocde as [music] and [flash] which I don't see in the Advance BBcode option.
I want to allow only admin and supermoderator can be able to use [flash]
How do I do that with your Hack?

You can't. This is only for the vb made BB codes. It's very complicated the custom ones.

Where can we find the built in BB codes then?
And what does it look like?
(talking about the code that makes them)

You can't edit vb's BBScodes. They are in a PHP file.

huh, why wouldn't I because it's in a php file? Don't really follow here..

They are coded into php files in more then one place. I would not recommend trying to alter them.

Well now. Another question: I've learned that the custom bb code seem to have another prefix or whatever than the build in one.
(just check the bb code FAQ page and you'll find that its a seperate command for getting them)

so.. could you maybe include this into the hack? So that the custom bb codes are included in your hacks options?
Should be possible as I see it.. just that I can't code php..

poofd

Excellent. I'm 'install'ing this for future reference. Finally flash and media player codes can be safer :)

Sorry, as of now this hack only give options for the vB default codes. Not for custom ones.

bah!

I'm working on a way. Have faith.

Hey again there abe.
Think someone found a solution to the [mod] and [admin] tags (as they are custom BB code).

https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/showthrea...439#post897439

Can you make any sence out of it and implement it in your hack maybe? I don't get it -_-

And if you could.. and if you understand more than me :p.. would that solution make it possible to add a feature that automaticly (or by selection) let new BB codes be settable.. without code altering?

I see what you are saying. The only thing is, only thoughs 2 bbcods use the permissions. I am working on a way not to get it for all custom bbcodes.

Man, that's the point, I am glad to hear things like that. It would be good if you can include custom BBcodes, like [flash] or [music] or [etc], because I think we should let all users be able to use allthe standard Vbulletin BBcodes, so it will not limit the posting features.
Just a thought.

Sorry but where can i find this
https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/external/...chmentid=39911

I cant find it in the acp

adminCP -> usergroups -> edit usergroup

Looks great. One question. If I use this and disallow a BBcode for a certain user group that has been able to use the BBcodes in the past, how will that look in the previous posts? Will it show the tag?

Thanks

Clancy

I believe it will show the bbcode parsed. Only if the user edits his post will it not parse.

Also, if an admin or mod edits a posts, they will be able to use BB code that is restricted to the user of the post. If that user edits the post though, then the bb codew ill no longer be parsed. You will see the tags.

Thanks Abe for the quick response. Installed. Thanks :)

After hours and hours of work,

Version 2.0 (2/24/06):

• [ADDED] Added settings for custom BBCode!

Thanks !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Works pretty good, though you should make a little update so it also uses the database prefix, it was giving errors here.

Another suggestion; I think it would save quite some people a lot of time if you set the standard value of a bbcode to "yes" instead of "no" as most people will rather disable a few than the opposide.

Thanks a lot for your work though!

Where am I not using a prefix????

The settings dont get used unless you edit them. There is no reason start them at Yes. Also, I can't start the custom ones at yes since they dont use a bitfield file.
