Anti-Spam Options - Disable Member Homepage Profile Option based on Post Count or Usergroup

This mod will remove the option to allow members to post a "Homepage" URL in their profile based on post count and/or usergroup id. In addition you can disable it for everyone if you want.

This is often requested because some admins feel some members join their forum only to place links to their own pages and never contribute to the forum. This will require users attain a minimum post count before posting- or stop them from using a homepage altogether.

You may override these settings by specifying immune usergroups- usually admins and maybe mods.

This has been tested on 3.8.6 and will work across all 3.8 versions. It should work on earlier versions too but not tested. It will not work on vBulletin 4.0 and above.
4.x version is here: https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/showthread.php?t=256383

If you have a heavily customized style then it is possible this mod will not work at all- it works based on automatic template edits and if the right default code isn't there nothing will happen. This is not a "bug." If you have a customized style try it first, if it doesn't work I can help you with some manual template edits to achieve the same effects as using this mod.

Install as normal, full instructions included in text file inside zip.

Contains: No files to upload, 1 plugin, 2 phrases, some new options.

You can change the default messages by editing the two phrases.

See screenshots for details.

Please Mark as Installed if you use this.

Untested but...

if you change

if (!in_array($vbulletin->userinfo['usergroupid'], explode(',' , $vbulletin->options['blhomebop5_ugs'])))

to

if (!is_member_of($vbulletin->userinfo, explode(',' , $vbulletin->options['blhomebop5_ugs'])))

should work with secondary groups...

Yes, that does work. I tested it with a fake member and it worked fine. While I was editing the XML, I also edited line 65 and changed the word "much" to "must."

Thank you very much.
