No support by the author.

Have you ever wanted to discuss something on a forum but never posted because you didn't want people to know it was you? To solve this problem, we created an anonymous posting hack.

Via the admin control panel, you can easily choose which forum(s) allows for anonymous posting.




For anonymous enabled forums, your members then get this handly little checkbox (unchecked by default) when making a new thread or post.




If they check the box, then their post is created under the account you setup and assign as the anonymous poster. I personally created an "anonymous" username, but you can create whatever you want.




As forum owners, we all know that a few members will choose to screw around with this feature. Therefore we created an easy means to identify who created an anonymous thread/post should the need arise. Please be ethical and tell your members you can see who posted anonymously should the need arise. You can check the log by going here:




And the log looks something like this:



Official support for this modification will take place at http://network.zoints.com in this forum.


Enjoy, click install, check out Zoints' other hacks, have a great day, and all that happy jive.

*Installed* Using 3.6.8 and about 42 hacks. No problems with this one. Works nicely, thanks.

Intalled and loving it.

- for the who's online issue, I edited the include/functions_online.php so that when a user was on the only forum that allows anon. posting, it'd show another, more used one.

- for the issue with the prevent doubleposting hack, I edited the doubleposting plugin so that it would not apply for the anon forum

Now, I have one question: would it be possible to use this hack in TWO separate rooms, but have it post under TWO different fake usernames (one for each room) ?

Have you tried to add an attachment when posting anonymously? I don't believe it's possible.

Also, I don't think you will receive an email notification for threads which you have posted anonymously.

I think it's a great hack if you don't mind the above.

Thanks for the suggestion. We'll see what we can come up with and add it to the next build.

Hi,

great mod, but I do have slight problem ...

The Log Option will not show up in the admin panel.

I copied anonylog.php to my admincp-renamed, but there is nothing to be seen.

Any hint would be welcome.

Thanks!

best regards
peter

Is it possible to allow moderators to see the anonymous posting log?
