Miscellaneous Hacks - Disable BBCodes/Smilies Per Users/Usergroups

Overview:

This product is in response to the request posted by The Mailman here:

Disable [img] bb code for specific user or usergroup?

This product allows you to designate a list of BBCodes and a list of Smilies that will be disabled for the users/usergroups you select. You may also restrict users individually, with their own separate lists of restrictions. The affected BBCodes/Smilies will be disabled only in the areas you select, and you can elect to have them disabled in signatures and previews (corresponding to the other areas selected) as well. You can disable only the display of restricted content, or you can choose to prevent restricted content from being saved to the database altogether.

Updates:

Version 1.1:

• Fixed HTML encoding issue.

Version 1.2:

• Added option to disable smilies.
• Added option to select usergroup membership type (primary only/secondary only/primary and secondary).
• Added option for individual custom restrictions by username.
• Replacement message can be set for BBcodes only, smilies only, both BBCodes and smilies, or turned off.
• Quoted posts/PMs of restricted users now has BBCodes/smilies disabled.

Version 1.2.5:

• Fixed bug with non-Latin characters.

Version 1.2.6:

For the BBCodes, your enter them without brackets as a comma-delimited list. for example, if you want to disable the CODE, HTML and PHP BBCodes, you could enter:

code,html,php

This is, what I have done. So, at least my settings seem to be right.
But nevertheless, if i turn on the script, no thread will be loaded. The only exception is, when I leave the field for BBCode Tag Names blank.

My vBulletin version is 4.2.2 Patch Level 5

When you installed the product, did you follow step 2? Which is:

Upload the contents of the "upload" folder to your server's root directory.

Ok, we only uploaded the PHP to the root directory. Now we added the folder and everything is ok. So it was our fault...
Thank you for your help. :up:

Hi Mark,

there seems to be a problem with your Add-on V1.3.1 and VB Suite 4.2.3 PL1.

We have a strange behaviour with multiple quotes after upgrading.

VB before: 4.2.2 PL 5 Suite
PHP before: 5.3

VB after: 4.2.3 PL 1 Suite
PHP after: 5.6

Update went fine and all seems to work properly, except multiple quoting. When selecting some posts for multiple quotes, only the last posting ist quoted, but as often as posts are selected.
Example:
Post 1, Author 1
Post 2, Author 2
Post 3, Author 3

-> all three posts selected for quoting

In the text area:
"Quote from Author 1: Text from Post 3"
"Quote from Author 2: Text from Post 3"
"Quote from Author 3: Text from Post 3"

In other words: when selecting multiple posts for quote, the number of quotes is correct, the quoted authors, too. Quoted text is always the same in all quotes; it's the text from the last qoute.

I've disabled all plugins selectively, and the error occurs when your add-on is active; independent from other plugins. And it's reproducible: your add-on active -> error, your add-on inactive -> all ok.

I would be glad if you find a solution for that. If I might help you, let me know.
