Censorship per Forum

This hack enables you to disable the censorship for certain forums through the admincp.

Special thanks to KirbyDe and Live Wire for their two excellent posts on the Product Management System and How to add options per forump

Pretty easy to install, just import this through your product management system.

And if you wish, one template edit to add a line to the Forum Rules box denoting whether the censor is on or off for that forum.

Screenshots of the admincp and forumrules included.

UPDATE - Included a version to have the censor off on default.

If you have already installed the first version (Default ON), and want the Default OFF, uninstall the old one, then install the Default OFF version.

Installed, and thank you very much! And maybe I misunderstood but, the "off" version had "on" as the default? Just letting you know. But thank you thank you thank you, I was so happy to find this!

(Uh... just realized I have 3.6 and this is for 3.5, maybe that's why?)

It's working for me with 3.6.4 on the forums, but the censor is no longer working for private messages. We have quite a few url's censored to prevent spamming via PM so that's a problem.

Hello Cyricx.

A couple of people had reported it working fine under 3.6.7 and 3.6.8

Would u be willing to certify this mod as working by updating your vB version here from 3.5.0 to the current one of 3.6.8?

i'd love to use this hack but don't want to experiment on my site unless u can certify this hack.

this is a great idea u have on making certain forums allowabe to see the censor words....particularly when one has an Admin section where one shouldn't have any censorship.

tnx.

I'll have to check into the PM issue somepoint in the future. Right now my time has been completely devoted to the email integration modification.

From looking at the code there should be no reasons at all that this would not work with 3.6.x

I'm going to wait to release a 3.6.8 version until I have the time to devote to investigating the reported bug with pms and if valid, fixing it.

[richTV]

tnx for your reply.

another nice option would be to allow Mods/Admins the ability to click upon a censored word to see what it was.

I'm having a little odd problem... The censorship per forum works just right... But there is some problems with some signatures...

I'm censoring "imageshack.us/" in my "XXX" forums, so I don't get banned from ImageShack... The thing is some user's signatures appears with the "imageshack.us/" censored too with "**********"... The strange thing with this is that when I see the signature in the profile page, I see the images, but in the posts of that user I see them censored...

There must be some strange problem with the censorship rules wich are affecting the signatures...

Thanks in advance....
