vBulletin is created by Jelsoft Ltd. http://www.jelsoft.com

---- Installation.
Run ff_install.php. This will make the modifications to the database and create the new templates.

Open admin/forum.php and look for:

PHP Code:


			
  makeyesnocode("Count posts made in this forum towards user post counts?","countposts",1);

After that add:

PHP Code:


			
  //WL 04-JUNE-2001 New Forum Features Hack

  maketableheader("Search Engine Options (v1.2 by Wayne Luke)");

  maketextareacode("Meta Tag Keywords: ","metakey");

  maketextareacode("Meta Tag Description","metadesc");

  makeinputcode("Meta Robot Tag","robotext");



  maketableheader("Forum Control Options (v1.0 by Wayne Luke)");

  makeyesnocode("Show in Active Topics?","showactive",1);

  makeyesnocode("Censor Words in this Forum","censor",1);

  makeinputcode("Minimum Posts to View","minviewposts");

  makeinputcode("Minimum Posts to Start New Thread","minposts");

  //WL End Modification

Also in admin/forum.php Look for:

PHP Code:


			
  $DB_site->query("INSERT INTO forum

                      (forumid,styleid,title,description,active,displayorder,parentid,

                       parentlist,allowposting,cancontainthreads,daysprune,newpostemail,newthreademail,

                       moderatenew,allowhtml,allowbbcode,allowimages,allowsmilies,allowicons,

                       styleoverride,allowratings,countposts,moderateattach)

                   VALUES

                      (NULL,'$styleset','".addslashes($title)."','".addslashes($description)."','$isactive','$displayorder','$parentid',

                       '','$allowposting','$cancontainthreads','$daysprune','".addslashes($newpostemail)."','".addslashes($newthreademail)."',

                       '$moderatenew','$aallowhtmlcode','$aallowbbcode','$aallowimgcode','$aallowsmilies','$aallowicons',

                       '$styleoverride','$allowratings','$countposts','$moderateattach')");

Replace with:

PHP Code:


			
$DB_site->query("INSERT INTO forum

  (forumid,styleid,title,description,active,displayorder,parentid,

   parentlist,allowposting,cancontainthreads,daysprune,newpostemail,newthreademail,

   moderatenew,allowhtml,allowbbcode,allowimages,allowsmilies,allowicons,

   styleoverride,allowratings,countposts,moderateattach,metakey,metadesc,robotext,

   showactive,censor,minviewposts,minposts)

 values (NULL,'$styleset','".addslashes($title)."','".addslashes($description)."',

         '$isactive','$displayorder','$parentid','','$allowposting','$cancontainthreads',

         '$daysprune','".addslashes($newpostemail)."','".addslashes($newthreademail)."',

         '$moderatenew','$aallowhtmlcode','$aallowbbcode','$aallowimgcode','$aallowsmilies',

         '$aallowicons','$styleoverride','$allowratings','$countposts','$moderateattach',

         '".addslashes($metakey)."','".addslashes($metadesc)."','".addslashes($robotext)."',

         '$showactive','$censor','$minviewposts','$minposts')");

After that add:

PHP Code:


			
  //WL 04-JUNE-2001 New Forum Features Hack

  maketableheader("Search Engine Options (v1.2 by Wayne Luke)");

  maketextareacode("Meta Tag Keywords: ","metakey",$forum[metakey]);

  maketextareacode("Meta Tag Description","metadesc",$forum[metadesc]);

  makeinputcode("Meta Robot Tag","robotext",$forum[robotext]);





  maketableheader("Forum Control Options (v1.0 by Wayne Luke)");

  makeyesnocode("Show in Active Topics?","showactive",1,$forum[showactive]);

  makeyesnocode("Censor Words in this Forum","censor",1,$forum[censor]);

  makeinputcode("Minimum Posts to View","minviewposts",$forum[minviewposts]);

  makeinputcode("Minimum Posts to Start New Thread","minposts",$forum[minposts]);

  //WL End Modification

Last edit in admin/forum.php. Find:

PHP Code:


			
  $DB_site->query("UPDATE forum

                   SET

                     styleid='$styleset', title='".addslashes($title)."', description='".addslashes($description)."',

                     styleoverride='$styleoverride', allowratings='$allowratings', countposts='$countposts',

                     moderateattach='$moderateattach'

                     showactive='$showactive',censor='$censor',minviewposts='$minviewposts',minposts='$minposts'

                   WHERE forumid='$forumid'");

In newthread.php find:

PHP Code:


			
  $smilieson=iif($foruminfo[allowsmilies],$ontext,$offtext);

After it add:

PHP Code:


			
  //WL 04-June-2001 Forum Features Hack (v1.0 Wayne Luke)

  if (($foruminfo[minposts]>$bbuserinfo[posts]) and !(ismoderator($foruminfo[forumid],"",$bbuserinfo[userid])) {

    eval("standarderror(\"".gettemplate("error_forumnopost")."\");");

    exit;

  }

  //WL End Modifications

In newthread.php find:

PHP Code:


			
    $subject=censortext($subject);

    $message=censortext($message);

Replace with:

PHP Code:


			
    if ($foruminfo[censor]) {

      $subject=censortext($subject);

      $message=censortext($message);

    }

In Forumdisplay find:

PHP Code:


			
$smilieson=iif($foruminfo['allowsmilies'],$ontext,$offtext);

After that add:

PHP Code:


			
//WL 04-June-2001 Forum Features Hack (v1.0 Wayne Luke)

$keyword=$foruminfo[metakey];

$description=$foruminfo[metadesc];

$robotext=$foruminfo[robotext];



if (($foruminfo[minviewposts]>$bbuserinfo[posts]) and !(ismoderator($foruminfo[forumid],"",$bbuserinfo[userid]))) {

  eval("standarderror(\"".gettemplate("error_forumnoview")."\");");

  exit;

}

//WL End Modifications

Finally add the following to your forumdisplay template:
<META NAME="keyword" content="$keyword">
<META NAME="description" content="$description">
<META name="robots" content="$robotext">

These same instructions are included in the readme.txt located in the zip file.
