Blur Ban v 2.0 [updated]

[updated to 2.0, if you have installed and wish to upgrade use the upgrade-fromv1.0.txt file in zip]

[If you are having problems with the hack not working make sure you are using internet explorer 6.0 or higher]



This hack will allow you to put a user in the "blur" usergourp, when they are in the blur usergourp their post/usernames are blured out and their avatar is replaced by a ban be please image

This is all done via the postbit_blur template, i decided to make this template based so people where not just limited to bluring out post, they could, depending on how they edit, remove the whole post itself!. So, this is a very powerful hack depending oon how you edit one template .

Info:
Run 1 Query (to add blur usergourp)
Add 2 templates (postbit_blur,postbit_blur_avatar)
2 edits to admin/functions.php
2 edits to showthread.php

Demo: http://www.kousetsu.net/kan/showthre...=&postid=17030

Hack by: Anime-loo, inspired by Zzed's example.

Changes from 1.0

added new template postbit_blur_avatar (avatar now changes when in blured usergourp)

cleaned up install doc's (i was never good at making one )

postcount changes to - 1000 when in blured usergourp.


Files in zip

blur-install.txt (query and file edits to be done)
templates.txt (all the info for the templates that must be added)
upgrade-fromv1.0.txt (for users that already have this mod installed and wish to upgrade, if installing for frist time ignore this file)
ban.gif (baned avatar, this will display insted of normal avatar for users in blured usergourp)

nice hack there animeloo, you're a crazy bastard i tell ya. that's good though!...i think o_O nice work none the less. you MASTER HACKER!

edit: i just noticed something, this hack uses IE's blur filter (duh), but that also means that it won't work in other browsers have you checked for cross-browser compatability?

[Brad]

as far as i know it wont work in non-IE broswers, theres not much i can do about that unless someone knows how to make it work in netscape based broswers. but most users are ganna hit the site in IE anyway.

[psychopathic]

It's no big deal, i use IE so i really don't care, but i have a few friends who actually prefer netscape over IE.
