Choose which filetypes to moderate

Hello,

This one is a really quick one. You may take this as a base for another, better hack but you have to credit me :)

Support:
The most important thing first: I'll give full support but Iam not responsible for any damaged caused by this mini mod.
Please use this thread for any questions you have.

What does this hack do:
My members recently uploaded some .pdf which were 'stolen' and used without credit. As my members attach images regularly I searched for an option to restrict the attachment moderation only to .pdf so that won't happen again.

What files are modified:
/includes/functions_file.php - only ~ 2 minutes

Notes and explanations:
You'll find the following array when you successfully installed this mini mod:

Code:

        $moderatethisattachments = array(

                                         'pdf',

                                         'txt',

                                         'doc',

                                         'xls'

                                         );

Here you can select which files should be moderated. The code above tell the script to moderate: pdf, txt, doc and xls (which I do on my forums).

You can add more extensions quite easily.. Here's another example which only moderates .avi:

Code:

         $moderatethisattachments = array(

                                         'avi'

                                         );

I hope you like this mini mod. Hopefully one of the advanced coders takes up this idea and makes a nice hack out of this one (please contact me first via PM) :)

Oops sorry.. I had to add the url to this thread and I totally forgot to add the file afterwards :D

Your avi-only example has a comma too much on the end. ;)

This hack will fully override the basic permissions. So if a usergroup is set to always moderate, it won't be moderated if you also upload a non-moderated attachment............i think ;)

i think the following would be better:

PHP Code:


		
			
    $visible = iif($moderate, 0, 1);

   

  if ($visible)

  {

        $attachment_name2 = strtolower($attachment_name);

        $extension = file_extension($attachment_name2);

        $moderatethisattachments = array(

                                'pdf',

                                'txt',

                                'doc',

                                'xls'

                               );

        if(in_array($extension, $moderatethisattachments)) {

            $visible = '0';

        }

     }

Have a look at the $globaltemplates-array() in various vB-files.. there's also a comma at the end :)

Thank you, I updated the hack and I also updated the code I have installed ;)

True, it is allowed, but not nice coding if you ask me. I guess it is done because it happened too many times that someone added a line and forgot to add a comma to the previous (copying the last line, and only changing names).

This is also why i don't like the layout of the coding. Instead of:

PHP Code:


		
			
$myarray = array(
  'aa',
  'bb',
  'cc'
  );

I personally prefer:

PHP Code:


		
			
$myarray = array(
  'aa'
 , 'bb'
 , 'cc'
  );

And for hacks adding new entries to these tables, i would suggest a new line instead of editing the existing code.

So instead of instructions to change:

PHP Code:


		
			
$myarray = array(
  'aa',
  'bb',
  'cc'
  );

Into:

PHP Code:


		
			
$myarray = array(
  'aa',
  'bb',
  'cc'  ,
  'mynewhackvalue' 
  );

Just instruct to add the following line immediate after the original:

PHP Code:


		
			
$myarray[] = 'mynewhackvalue';

But now we are hijacking a thread. :D
