What does 'Marking As Installed' do ?

* It helps you to stay on top of updates - members who have installed modifications will be notified by us whenever new updates are available.

* For security issues - vbulletin.org will contact all members who have installed a modification whenever a security issue is brought to their attention.

* Marking a modification as installed also helps us know how many people are using our work, giving us extra incentive to provide more features and new modifications.

We appreciate the support!

This is not currently implemented by we shall consider something like this for a future version!

I don't want to use the censored words option inside vbulletin for this because it will censor the word across my whole board.
Is there any way to censor or disallow certain words for just this mod?

We'll consider adding this in in a future version!

Have a look at the dbtech_status_postbit template!

The Status sidebar block is viewable by guests. Where would I wrap a conditional to prevent them from seeing it? Guests aren't allowed anywhere else where status is displayed.

Is it possible to have the "Moods" in one place (Say right below the user avatar) and the status in other place (On the top left or right of the post)?

Thank you for this nice mod.

One remark:
No status and mood info in posbit for new just added posts ( needs page refresh)

Is it possible to ban individual users? If it is only usergroups that won't help with only one or two users who decide to abuse it.

Installed this and it works well but was wondering if it was possible to get rid of the pencil icon? Just to make things look cleaner?

Also, there needs to be a way to prevent individual users from using it. Right after I installed it members changed their status to:

++++ing

or

++++ so and so

And I can manually edit it but they can just edit it back. Lacks a major moderation ability.

To remove the pencil next to the mood icon:

Template: dbtech_status_mood_postbit

Find this line:

<img src="{vb:stylevar imgdir_button}/edit_40b.png" alt="{vb:rawphrase edit}" />

And change it to this:

<!--<img src="{vb:stylevar imgdir_button}/edit_40b.png" alt="{vb:rawphrase edit}" />-->

To remove the pencil icon next to Status:

Template: dbtech_status_postbit

Find this line:

<img src="{vb:stylevar imgdir_button}/edit_40b.png" alt="{vb:rawphrase edit}" />

And change to this:
<!--<img src="{vb:stylevar imgdir_button}/edit_40b.png" alt="{vb:rawphrase edit}" />-->

I installed this mod and really like it better than the other one for moods we were using, but there's this a small draw back and I am hoping someone can tell me how to get rid of it. The last mood of "wtf" is something many of my users find distasteful. I took out the image, but can't get rid of the words in the display of the list of moods.
How can I edit that out?

nvmd, I deleted it from the dbase!

Thanks!
