Anti-Spam Options - Disable Member Homepage Profile Option based on Post Count or Usergroup by BOP5

Brought to you by BirdOPrey5

Update Version 1.7 -

• Usergroup permissions now work for primary OR secondary (additional) usergroups.
• You now check a box to choose usergroups- no more looking up specific IDs.
• Added option to delete homepage link of any users who get perm banned.
• Official Mod Thread now on Qapla.com.

Update Version 1.5 - This upgrade will disable links to homepages for users who may have entered a homepage before this mod was installed. As usual it will also block new members from entering a homepage based on the rules you set (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 4.0.8, 4.1.11, and 4.1.12. It should work on other 4.0/4.1 versions as well. It will not work on 3.8, I have a 3.x version available in the 3.8 mods section.

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 see the manual edits in Post #12 of this thread.

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

Contains: No files to upload, 4 plugins, 2 phrases, some new options.

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

See screenshots for details.

Geeting errors from this after upgrading to 4.1.4, anyone else?

[BirdOPrey5]

What type of errors? It's working fine on my 4.1.4 test site.

Exactly what I was looking for, Thank you!.

We get so many signing up and adding there homepage without posting just trying to get links to there site around the web.

As above, working fine on 4.1.5-pl1.

*Installed + rated.

thanks, it's installed and working fine on new signups. However, the homepage link is still showing on previously registered users. Any way to remove it from them with one fell swoop?

[BirdOPrey5]

Version 1.5 should be hiding the link even if previously entered- can I get a link to your site- to a page with the problem?

[Luca_ITA]

On my forum mod works good. I'm using v4.1.9.
Thank you!

[DAMINK]

Personally my favorite mod above all.
I simply love it when spam bots come and beat the registration mods i have but fail in the homepage url.
Simple and sweet. LOVE IT.
