Custom Postbit for every User

After the one Day Beta-Version i've finished the Hack so i can release it now.

Hack Version: 1.20b

Additional Queries in showthread.php: 1

What it does: It gives users the Ability to choose between custom postbits instead of just the one global postbit (or more if you have different styles).
Also it allows users to create their own custom postbits using html-code (These must be validated by an admin before they can use them)
It also gives you the ability to create a postbit just a special usergroup or just a special user can use.

I think i've tested every little option, but if you find a bug please tell me.

Please click install if you use the hack.

Some additions:
in cpostbit.php you find this lines to allow users wether to choose a custom postbit or to create new ones:
// Usergroups which can use custom postbits
$canusecpb="2 5 7 6";
// Usergroups which can create own custom postbits
$cancreatecpb="2 5 7 6";

people who installed the beta version should run installcpb.php?action=unstall&killbeta=1 before installing the hack.

glad to hear

Xenon, when you have the arcade hack installed the line in functions.php is:

function getpostbit($post,$vpa_champs=0) {

In that case would:
function getpostbit($post,$postbitid=0,$vpa_champs=0) {

The right way to place the code?

[Xenon]

hmm, not sure, it depends on how the arcade hack calls the postbits.

normally you are right, but you could get problems....
be sure to check every call of the getpostbitfunction, that the syntax isn't wrong anywhere...

[NuclioN]

In showthread.php is an instance of the same code,

$postbits .= getpostbit($post,$vpa_champs_a);

that (should) be:

$postbits .= getpostbit($post,$postbitid=0,$vpa_champs_a); ?

I've test it and there are no errors, however when i make an adjustment or replacement it does not update it. Also after validation there is no change with the original standard postbit.

In functions.php there's also this:

eval("\$retval = \"".gettemplate("postbit")."\";");
} else if ($bbuserinfo['usergroupid']!=12) {
eval("\$retval = \"".gettemplate("postbit_banned")."\";");
} else {
eval("\$retval = \"".gettemplate("postbit")."\";");
}
} else {
eval("\$retval = \"".gettemplate("postbit")."\";");
}
}
return $retval;
}

That's part of "stealth ban" hack so there are 3 instances of:
eval("\$retval = \"".gettemplate("postbit")."\";");

I like this hack Xenon but it looks that it's not for me this time.

[Xenon]

well, yes it's hard to implement it, when you already have hacked the getpostbit in your way..

the first things seemed right, so maybe you can achieve it so it works correctly.

last question: hmm, replace every instance

Hi Xenon,

I am currently running vBulletin 2.2.9. On some of the old threads, whenever I tried to get to the first page, it gave me an error such as:
