vb.org Archive - Create Private Message Filter

Hello,

I was wondering if someone could point me in the right direction to create a plugin that will:
when a user sends a pm run it through the filter of keywords if it fails the filter dont post, otherwise post. Is there a list of hooks that i can find and maybe a good tutorial on coding for vbulletin. I have seen this hack requested many times.

Thanks

Ok well i hacked something up this might work :
goto private.php and add this hook:
1)
search for :

Code:

        $pm['message'] =& $vbulletin->GPC['message'];

        $pm['title'] =& $vbulletin->GPC['title'];

        $pm['parseurl'] =& $vbulletin->GPC['parseurl'];

        $pm['savecopy'] =& $vbulletin->GPC['savecopy'];

        $pm['signature'] =& $vbulletin->GPC['signature'];

        $pm['disablesmilies'] =& $vbulletin->GPC['disablesmilies'];

        $pm['sendanyway'] =& $vbulletin->GPC['sendanyway'];

        $pm['receipt'] =& $vbulletin->GPC['receipt'];

        $pm['recipients'] =& $vbulletin->GPC['recipients'];

        $pm['bccrecipients'] =& $vbulletin->GPC['bccrecipients'];

        $pm['pmid'] =& $vbulletin->GPC['pmid'];

        $pm['iconid'] =& $vbulletin->GPC['iconid'];

        $pm['forward'] =& $vbulletin->GPC['forward'];

        $pm['folderid'] =& $vbulletin->GPC['folderid'];

below that big block add this :

Code:

($hook = vBulletinHook::fetch_hook('filter_pm')) ? eval($hook) : false;

2) goto :
forum/includes/xml

create a file with the contents:

Code:

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



<hooks>



        <hooktype type="My Custom Hooks">

                <hook>filter_pm</hook>

        </hooktype>



</hooks>

3)
Goto plugin manager click create new plugin
select filter name filter_pm as ur hook location add this:

Code:

$bad_texts = array('badword1','badword1','badword1','badword1','badword1'); 

    foreach ($bad_texts as $bt){

        if (preg_match('/'.$bt.'/i',$pm['message'])){

$pm['recipients'] = 'admin_name;';

            $pm['bccrecipients'] = '';       

            $pm['forward'] = 0;

        }

    }

THATS IT: be sure to replace badword1 with the words you dont want to have in pm, change admin_name with the admin login so messages will be sent to you instead.

Please dont flame me this is my first attemt at messing with vb's plugin system
I did find a current hook that could be used called:
($hook = vBulletinHook::fetch_hook('private_insertpm_proces s')) ? eval($hook) : false;

but i couldnt figure out how to remove the recipient already set.

I changed this bit of code here

Code:

$bad = (' ','-','_');

$message = str_replace($bad,'',$pm['message']);

        if (preg_match('/'.$bt.'/i',$message)){

found a couple people doing spaced out so they dont get caught.
