New Posting Features - Append User Agent String to New Threads and Posts

Description
This add-on will append a user's browser's User Agent String to new posts/threads.

Version Information
0.0.1 - Initial Release
0.0.2 - Added ability to only append User Agent Sting to posts/threads in specified forums.
0.0.3 - Fixed bug where previewing a post adds UA multiple times
0.0.3c - Fixed possible HTML injection vulnerability

Options
You can optionally configure it to append alternative text or BBCode (Such as IMG tags) rather than the literal User Agent String for specific User Agent Strings (or parts of).

You can configure it to not appended anything under certain styles

You can change the way the string is displayed with BBCode

(0.0.2) You can specify to only append User Agent String to posts/threads in specific forums.

Limitations
1. The User Agent String (or alternative BBCode/Text) is appended to the post text itself. There is nothing to stop the user from then editing the post and removing it. As such it will also show by default when quoted.

2. Turning the add-on OFF will not stop the display of User Agent Strings for past posts, it will only stop new posts/threads having it appended.

The upside of these is that there are no additional queries added to display this.

Ok, that's fine. Someone else had asked about it in the iPhone optimized skin thread.

very very very NICE!

I was looking for this hack and was about to create one my self after losing hope to find one already made (could not believe nobody has created it yet, any rational webmaster needs such a good info to track spammers).

my addition is to allow USERGROUPS to view this info,

PHP Code:

<if condition="in_array($bbuserinfo[usergroupid], array(1,3,4))">
This is not a registration or login page and this person is not a fully registered forum member.
</if> 


1,2,3,4 can be specified by the user in the admincp
(if u add a textbox field)

Successfully installed and running with vbulletin 3.6.8 and 3.7.5

it works as expected except for one situation in 3.6 that I am trying to understand why..
with 3.7, the problem does not happen.

The code does not append the UA to the message
when the FORUM has (Moderate new Posts/Threads ). that is, new threads or replies need moderator's approval.

Sorry if can't support it, but thought someone could shed a light here while searching..
could it be related to HOOK order ?

[dartho]

Sounds like a hook issue. I'd guess that the hooks used aren't called for moderated posts/threads ...

[dancue]

Any way I can have this in the postbit_legacy under Location or Join date?

Love this mod, one minor question on the version.

I downloaded the 0.0.3c xml file, but the contents of the file show this line:

<version>0.0.3a</version>

Filename is product-ua37-0.0.3c.xml

Thanks,
Jim

[dartho]

The version is an oversight on my behalf - that is the correct file.

is there a vb 4.0 version?
