End-User Options - Panic Button (TMS compatible)

NOTE (27/06/2008): I am having real problems making this work, so I have scrapped this hack. I would recommend that you install my v3.7.x version of this hack - here instead (works fine with v3.6.x and v3.7.x). Thus, I have marked this hack as NOT SUPPORTED.

[s][s]This hack works with vBulletin v3.7.x. This is also a Template Modification System compatible hack.[/s]

This is an update of my v3.6.x hack available here, I have not tested this version of the hack out, but I see no reason why it would not work v3.6.x as well.

This hack will not require template modifications if you are using Andreas's Template Modification System (yes, it does work with v3.7.x), and your styles are not too heavily modified (if it shows up in all your styles then no need to worry). Instructions for making the template changes manually have been included.

Have your very own vBulletin Boss Key. A panic button is displayed in the postbit of each, and every post, so you can quickly click yourself to the safety of legitimate url if the boss comes snooping while you are at work.

I have created a custom button for this hack, you can use another button if you like, just remember to rename it panic.gif.

NOTE: Any Panic Button you see in a thread is tied to your profile, even if it is in someone else's postbit (to prove it, disable the Panic Button in the your UserCP)

This hack was created because of a requested here.

Having problems?

If your members report errors when clicking on the panic button, first thing to ensure is that they used the full url (including http://) when typing in the site their panic button will go to, ie http://www.google.com (will work) and not like this - www.google.com (will not work). Also ensure that you checked that you have entered the correct user profile field numbers in the AdminCP options.[/s]

same here:

Parse error: syntax error, unexpected '{', expecting ']' in /home/jilly/public_html/forums/includes/adminfunctions_template.php(3717) : eval()'d code on line 787

I was trying to save template postbit_legacy with the panic button code added

[Mosh]

I will be looking at this some time today.

[Phaedrus]

I had to modify the template this way:

<if condition="$bbuserinfo[field7] == On"><a href="$bbuserinfo[field8]"><img src="$stylevar[imgdir_misc]/panic.gif" border="0" alt="Boss Key" /></a></if>

In order to get it to work. There were a bunch of { in there messing things up and some variables it wouldn't recognize. After using the above lines I was able to make the mod work.

Edit:

If you do use this instead, field7 should be whatever field you wrote down for step 2, field8 for step 3...

You know...

It works great with this instead of the other...

Yes I know, I am trying to make this more automated, as I already released this as a template hack for v3.6.x quite some time ago, which works rather well, but trying to put profile field numbers in via vbulletin options is proving to be a bit tiresome (ie, I am banging my head on the wall to make it work).

Yeah, I was attempting to figure out the variables, but I just gave up;

[Black Tiger]

Well I also edited the TMS templates and changed the code to the 3.6 version code and things are working fine now.

So I just keep this one marked installed because I'm running 3.7, I hope you find out the variables, but no hurry.
Good luck!

What's the status on a fix for this, it's been about two weeks since you said you were going to look into it.

I really like this idea, several of my members would find it useful as they surf the forums at work.

When there is an update (which there is not), the big notice in red will disappear from the 1st post and it will be supported and not a beta anymore, and I will post that it is fixed.

So, until then I will not be posting anything to this thread from now on, until that point.

Use my v3.6.x version until I can fix this.

yep, I also had the previously mentioned errors, and this edit made it all go away, well done Phaedrus

I took the liberty of changing your text file, Mosh, I hope you don't mind, and leaving this attachment so others, too, can benefit

I did alter the above line to leave the default field5 and field6 instead of 7 and 8

love this hack

installed for sure !!


btw, you know why six is afraid of seven............because 7 8 9
