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)

I don't understand, do I have to fill in all the $post[whatever] and $post[backcolor] with my own settings? And no, your right, I didn't add that code you told me too...can I see an example, your version 2.2 has still left me lost because I'm so new to this, sorry

dident read that last part sorry. basicly you do this, go to your postbit template. drag your mouse over all the code to highlight it, right click and hit copy. do not change the template itself only copy it


now add a new template, name it postbit_blur and right click again and click paste. hit save. find the postbit_blur template under custom templates and click edit then do this:

#find:

$post[username]

#replace with:

<table style="filter:blur(add='0', direction='45', strength='10')">
$post[username]</table>

#find:

$post[posts]

#Replace with:

- 10000

#find:

$post[joindate]

#Replace by:

<table style="filter:blur(add='0', direction='45', strength='10')">
$post[joindate]</table>

#find:

$post[title]

#replace by:


<table style="filter:blur(add='0', direction='45', strength='10')">
$post[title]</table>


#find:

$post[message]

#replace by:

<table style="filter:blur(add='0', direction='45', strength='10')">
$post[message]</table>

hope that helps

This hack is awesome :banana: thank you so much. I do have a ??? how can I add to the filter string to make the text flipped backwards and blurred? I used this tag for regular flipped text but dont want to alter your hack without your permission..I am soooo new to writing php code thank you for your help

<table style=filter:flipH>

just replace all the

<table style="filter:blur(add='0', direction='45', strength='10')">

with

<table style=filter:flipH>

in the postbit_blur template

or are you trying to use both tags at the same time? sadly you cant because this would break your tables. or do you want a new usergourp that has their text fliped? that i can do

[JC]

Hey i did all your steps and I'm still not seeing any results... Im not sure what I've done wrong now...i replaced everything you said... made the user group BLURED ( exactly like that ) made POSTBIT_BLUR template exactly like that, so i'm wonderin what the deal is, think u could get into my board and help? Thanks... let me know ! I'm anxious haha.
