New Posting Features - Block Censored Words in Posts by BOP5 VB4

By BirdOPrey5 / Qapla.com

Version 1.3

For people who don't want to see censored text (******) in their posts this mod will prevent a user from even submitting a new post or thread that has any word that would be censored. They will be forced to change it or it simply won't post. (Now works on post edits as well.)

You can demo this by trying post in the Testing Forum at Qapla.com. You can try posting the "F" word or other major curse words which are censored here.

Options included to limit checking on thread titles or only post bodies, or both. Also option to use on specific forums instead of all forums on your site.

Works on all vBulletin versions out there, VB 3.6.x through 4.2.x and will work on 4.3.x I'm sure as well.

I'd like to thank kh99 for helping me find the right hook to use on this mod.

Hey there! Thanks so much for making this - badly needed

Unfortunately it's not working. I triple checked my censored words. I'm using 4.2.5.

All of the words are in curlys with like this {'Bad'}

So when someone type Bad in the title or post, it still goes through

If I remove the curly brackets it works.

The problem is that I run a forum where many athletes are mentioned. For instance "Slutskaya". But if I put in slut without the curly brackets and quotes, guess what happens

I also noted that when the post is being typed, there is no way to "edit". So someone might type a whole paragraph only to get the next page saying:

A censored word was detected. Please do not use censored words in your posts..

[gsk8]

Ok. I think I got it. The secret was to take out the quote. This seems to work well! Thanks!

Nope still having problems. I clicked on "NO" to Block in ALL forums. Then I selected/highlighted the ones I want to use this feature for. The only thing it did was show up **** instead of a message.

I haven't looked at the code for this in a long time but if I recall correctly it did not support the use of the {brackets} like regular word censor did.

[gsk8]

So I currently have some words in my default censor account in "{}". Do I remove all these words and put them on your list? I want to be sure that when I put the word "Jap" as censored, it doesn't affect "Japan", hence, the reason for using the brackets

[BirdOPrey5]

I would say the mod is unfortunately not compatible with that kind of usage. Sorry.

Hey Joe, is this mod available for vb5?

Thanks!

Joe, I know that this is way to old a mod, and I really do not expect you to provide any support for it, but I have tried to modify the error message (phrase blockpostbop5) in order to show the censored message and the non-censored one, so that a member can see which is the foul word he used. For some reason, if I change:

standard_error($vbphrase['blockpostbop5']);

to:

standard_error($vbphrase['blockpostbop5'], $censoredpost);

for example, and I add {1} in the phrase, I get a %1$s instead of the censored post.

Any ideas would be greatly appreciated!

Hey... Don't even have a VB4 forum to test this on anymore but let's try something.

If you make the line:

standard_error($vbphrase['blockpostbop5'], "test");

Do you get test to replace the {1} in the phrase?

If yes then the problem is with $censoredpost

If not then there is another issue, perhaps more is needed for vbphrase() function.
