vBcustomPage Version 1.0 | A hack by Velocd :ninja:
Update - 7/27/02 - Bug fix
I accidentally forgot to add the instructions on how to allow the admin to modify the custom page name and content via ACP.
Please refer to the 7-27-02fix.txt for instructions on how to fix it.
What does this hack do?
This integrated vB add-on will allow your users to have their own custom page built on simple HTML. In addition, the admin can specifiy a minimum post count that all users must achieve before they are allowed the creation of a custom page.
Why is it useful?
More creativity and ways for the users to express themselves on your forum. Users who do not match the postcount needed to create custom pages will want to post more in order to get it. Ofcourse this isn't going to happen just because it's written here, but the possibilities are unknown until you try it out.
Features:
Via the ACP users page, the admin can toggle whether a member is allowed to use custom pages.
Via the ACP users page, the admin can also modify the users custom page name, and also the content.
Javascript code filter + offensive language block
The name of your custom page will show up in the title bar of your custom page (big wow, I know )
..more creativity for your users!
WARNINGS:
As with HTML in posts and signatures, the vulnerabilities of allowing your members to create pages using HTML could be risky. Please moderate your member custom pages (view the source) on a daily basis, insuring that no malicious code is hidden away somewhere.
Screenshots?
Screenshots are included in the zip.
Bugs?
None that I know of, but if you find any please let me know!

Attached is the hack zip. If you use this hack on your forum, please click the install!
Suggestions and comments are always welcomed

Originally posted by Lionel I get a blank page when I click on the link in profile.
$userinfo[custompage] returns empty, but the info is in the database
Make sure you have created the template getinfo_custompage, and that it contains the following:
Code:
<!DOCTYPE HTML PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD HTML 4.01 Transitional//EN">
<html>
<head>
<title>$bbtitle - $userinfo[custompagename]</title>
$headinclude
<body>
$header
<br>
$userinfo[custompage]
<br>
$footer
</body>
</html>

Feel free to integrate this if you like, I personally don't use Lesane store hack, but when making this hack I also thought it would make a good addition.

Originally posted by nemesis01 It's a good idea, but I think it would be better if it was based on a regular vbulletin page and editable by filling in set fields at the 'create page' stage, rather than having the user be allowed to use html. I'm sure it would be possible to do that, replacing the html part for the more limited but 'safer' VBcode. For a big board with a lot of regular users it would be very time consuming to check each members page to make sure the content was non-malicious.
I know the idea of allowing HTML worries alot of people, and I'm personally not too fond of it, but I can never know how things turn out until I try them myself. I have it running on my forums, and those with the minimum 300 post count seem to think it's a great idea, funny thing is most these members don't even know HTML. :cheeky:
To use vBcode would seem like the most ideal way of making this hack, but then I would have to create vBcode tags for all those HTML tags, such as creating tables, embed tag, etc. And I don't have the coding experience, nor the time, to do it right now. Another way would be to have it check the HTML making sure nothing bad was being put in, but this is another thing I'm not quite sure of how to do. It has a basic checker that eliminates javascript and any other language but HTML, and thats it.
For my forums I can trust my members, mainly because my forum is relatively small, and I know all the members pretty well. Although for a forum with many many members, I know this would become a problem. You could set the enablecustompage to default off, and then if a member would like a custom page you check with them first and switch them to on. This seems even more time consuming though.
