Hack Support

This hack is now discontinued - this means that while it will remain available for download and use, there will be no further updates, nor will support be provided as the thread is no longer monitored. You can now check out the 3.8.x version of this hack, as it also works with v3.7.5, v3.6.12 (and maybe even earlier versions).

Please click Mark as Installed if you are using this hack.


vBulletin Version Compatibility

This hack can be used with v3.6.10 and v3.7.x. This has not been tested with earlier versions of v3.6.x, but should work.


What Does This Hack Do?

Your own vBulletin Boss Key, is displayed in the postbit of each post, so you can quickly click yourself to the safety of legitimate url when the boss turns up, while you are at work.

I have created a custom button for this hack, you can use another button if you like, just remember to rename it panic.gif. You can have a different button for each style, as long as each one is named panic.gif.

NOTE: Any Panic Button you see in a thread is tied to your profile, even if it is in someone else's postbit (to prove it, disable the Panic Button in the your UserCP)

This hack was created because of a requested here.

If your members report errors when clicking on the panic button, first thing to ensure is that they used the full url (including http://) when typing in the site their panic button will go to, ie http://www.google.com (will work) and not like this - www.google.com (will not work). The second thing to check for, is that the Panic Button - URL Jump box is not empty.


Installation Instructions

The Panic Button Installation Instructions 3.7.xxx.pdf instructions file is included in attached .zip (includes instructions and pictures)

Uninstall Instructions
  1. In the AdminCP, go to User Profile Fields -> User Profile Field Manager.
    • Delete the Panic Button - ON/OFF Switch profile field.
    • Delete the Panic Button - URL Jump profile field.
  2. Uninstall the product using the AdminCP Product Manager.

Hello,

I installed this but I can't see the panic button no where. I uploaded the image to all styles and did the template edits properly (I think).

Do you mind taking a look in my adminCP? I'll PM you the details.

No, I don't mind. [s]What I will need is for you to PM me your site address, temp ftp details, a temp admin user (with admin permissions - Can Administer Settings for editing options and Can Administer Plugins for editing products and plugins, Can Administer Users for editing User Profile Fields and Can Administer Styles for editing templates) without this I can not help you. I will look when I have time, I can not guarantee that I will be able to fix it, but I will have a look at it.

You can revoke the temp details once I am done.[/s]

The only thing that manually needs to be done now is adding 2 User Profile Fields.

I have noticed you installed the latest version. Does it work for you? Or do you still need me to take a look?

Yes that is all, but you have to remember that you need to revert the template changes you made, as hack now does it all automatically, and you will end up with 2 panic buttons in each post if you do not remove the manual edit you performed with the previous version.

Someone installed it for me so I'm a bit iffy with reverting the template edits. Mind helping me out?

Or can I just leave it assuming there won't be anymore significant features added to this hack?

All you need to do is edit the postbit (and/or postbit_legacy) template (in each style you have).

Find:

HTML Code:
<!-- Panic Button v3.7.003. Copyright Mosh Shigdar 2008 -->
<if condition="$show['panicbutton']"><a href="$show[panic_button_url]"><img
src="$stylevar[imgdir_misc]/panic.gif" border="0" alt="Boss Key" /></a></if>
<!-- end of Panic Button Hack -->
Delete it !!!

Save the template. That is it

Or you can just leave it on the previous version if it works. Just remember if you do so, and Jelsoft issues a version of vBulletin that requires you to do a template revert to add extra functionality or fix a security issue, then you will need to re-do the template edits anyway. So I would recommend updating to this version, and not stick with the previous version, but the choice is up to you.

I would, it will be a lot easier when upgrade vBulletin, as there will be no need to worry about doing the template edit again, if templates need to be reverted as part of the upgrade.
