Miserable Users for vB3
Version: 1.01 vB-version: 3.0.0 Developer: KuraFire (original for vB2: Zzed) Install-difficulty: Easiest File edits: 0 Template edits: 1 (phpinclude_start) Description of the Hack: The Miserable Users Hack for vB3 is an upgrade from Zzed's hack for vB2. The vB3 version is streamlined and works without any file edits. It is purely template based. Templates modified for this Hack: phpinclude_start (the above was generated via the Hack Tracking Log, soon to come) 1.01 update: January 5th, 3:10 pm CET Instead of a custom check for the usergroup data to see whether the user is a Miserable User, vB3's function is_member_of() is being used now, cleaning up the code even more. Here's what the Hack does: (original Hack thread) This Hack will allow you to drive away people from your board without banning them. As explained by Zzed, the author of the original (vB2) hack: Quote:
TO INSTALL: 1) Create a new membergroup, and name it Miserable Users. Give them no particular permissions if you want, as you can use it as a secondary group (so you can effectively give them 0 permissions whatsoever). Note: make sure to note down the Membergroup id ! 2) Put this code at the top of your phpinclude_start template: Note: fill in the membergroup id from step 1 where it says "$miserableid = 8;" (replace the 8 with your id number). PHP Code:
Done! Note: this Hack will come in an HTL* package once the HTL is finished. Toning Down The Pain: You'll find that this hack is a bit rough on people, and may be getting too obvious. If you want to tone it down, here's what you can do: Toning down the page load delay: This line: PHP Code:
Toning down the % chance disabling of the Search engine: This line: PHP Code:
Toning down the chance of a Server Too Busy error: This line: PHP Code:
Toning down the chance of a blank page: This line: PHP Code:
Increasing the chance of getting a normal page: This line: PHP Code:
Toning down the chance of a refresh to Forum home: This section: PHP Code:
Hope you guys enjoy this update of the excellent hack by Zzed, with the improvements I've made to it for higher maintainability (and, no file edits ). Show Your Support

same thing here.. either nothing happens after a while or i get a white page.. never a server busy error,never kicked back to the index.. same thing with search.. also the things you have to "tone down the pain" seem to be more variables then are in the text block to copy to the template? |

Some users questioned the issue of allow moderators to send users to the group Miserable.. but only is allowed if Miserable Users Group is a Banned Group.
when you set the Miserable group, as a Banned group, the reputation link (balance) dissapear, and don't allow to give reputation to the post of a Miserable user. With this 2 modifications, the miserable group, can be a BANNED GROUP and the balance of Reputation Link is showed and fully functional. Of course, this don't allow to give reputation to other users BANNED, ONLY allows to show the Miserable users in the forum, as a normal user.. this modifications: PHP Code:
That's all! enjoy! only rest to, set the Miserable users as a Banned group to allow moderators to move users to this group and ready to work... REMEMBER SET ALL "21" values in the above code with de USER GROUP ID of miserable users, set in phpinclude_start at 3rd line as $miserableid bye byeeee |

Hi flee2
it is important that no one except admin to no this moderators can easily see the member A who is having problem login to the forum is in a strange group even if you call that group nice member or what ever i hope some one can modify the hack multiple user ids can be added |
