i have been working on a script for a few weeks now, and nearly at
final stages of releasing it, but i need help with the following

PHP Code:


			
function blockAccess($message) {
    global $forbidbad, $badcookie, $myredir;
    if ($forbidbad == true) {
        writeCookie($badcookie, $message, $myredir);
    }

i want to insert a redirect script / code into this
basically the above writes a cookies to block access, so the idea is if the statement above is true the redirect to a given $varaiable set in admincp

You could use the vbulletin function print_standard_redirect():

Code:

// #############################################################################
/**
* Returns eval()-able code to initiate a standard redirect
*
* The global variable $url should contain the URL target for the redirect
*
* @param	mixed	Name of redirect phrase, or array if constructing a phrase.
* @param	boolean	If false, use the name of redirect phrase as the phrase text itself
* @param	boolean	Whether or not to force a redirect message to be shown
* @param	integer	Language ID to fetch the phrase from (-1 uses the page-wide default)
* @param	bool	Force bypass of domain whitelist check
*
* @return	none (the session is re-directed).
*/
function print_standard_redirect($redir_phrase, $isphrase = true, $forceredirect = false, $languageid = -1, $bypasswhitelist = false)

{

*/
function print_standard_redirect($redir_phrase, $doquery = true, $forceredirect = false, $languageid = -1)
{

so the $redir_phrase its self will become the URL ?
if so, all i need to do is register the variable as follows

PHP Code:


			
$redir_phrase = $vbulletin->options['myredirect'];

would this be what i need to do ?

Oh, right, I should have mentioned: you would set $vbulletin->url to the url, like:

Code:

$vbulletin->url = $vbulletin->options['myredirect'];
print_standard_redirect($redir_phrase);

That assumes that $redir_phrase is a phrase name. If it's the actual text, then you would want the second parameter to print_standard_redirect to be false (it's true by default).

Also, print_standard_redirect will use http headers to do a redirect so that the user won't see the message unless their browser doesn't support header redirects (I have no idea if that even happens at all these days). If you want to be sure that the message is displayed, use true for the third parameter.

Edit: also I forgot that I had the vb3 code loaded when I copied the description of print_standard_redirect() above - I replaced it with the vb4 version. This brings up another issue: if you're redirecting to a url that isn't part of your site, you might need to set the "bypasswhitelist" parameter to true.

i am not sure if you understand

all my functions are called as

PHP Code:


			
function blockAccess

these are the badcookies

PHP Code:


			
global $forbidbad, $badcookie

this is the full code

PHP Code:


			
function blockAccess($message) {
    global $forbidbad, $badcookie, $myredir;
    if ($forbidbad == true) {
        writeCookie($badcookie, $message, $myredir);
    }
    echo
    <<<HTML
<!DOCTYPE html>
<html>
<head>
<meta charset="UTF-8" />
<title>403 Forbidden</title>
<meta name="robots" content="noindex" />

</head>
<BODY>

<H1>! Forbidden !</H1>

<BR>
<P>You have been taken to this page for a reason :
<P>A) your a bad bot.
<P>B) you maybe a spammer.
<P>C) You may of been blacklisted

</BODY>
</html>
HTML;
    die();
}

i want to remove

PHP Code:


			
    echo
    <<<HTML
<!DOCTYPE html>
<html>
<head>
<meta charset="UTF-8" />
<title>403 Forbidden</title>
<meta name="robots" content="noindex" />

</head>
<BODY>

<H1>! Forbidden !</H1>

<BR>
<P>You have been taken to this page for a reason :
<P>A) your a bad bot.
<P>B) you maybe a spammer.
<P>C) You may of been blacklisted

</BODY>
</html>
HTML;
    die();
}

so that i can create a redirect using my current function

PHP Code:


			
function blockAccess

i need it to actually redirect to a chosen URL thats in this variable

PHP Code:


			
$myredir = $vbulletin->options['redirecturl'];

I don't know if I understand either. Are you not able to call print_standard_redirect(), or is it that you don't think it does what you want? Why not this:

Code:

function blockAccess($message) {
    global $forbidbad, $badcookie, $myredir;
    if ($forbidbad == true) {
        writeCookie($badcookie, $message, $myredir);
    }
    
    global $vbulletin;
    $vbulletin->url = $myredir;
    print_standard_redirect('phrase_to_show');
}

    }
    
    global $vbulletin
    $vbulletin->url = $myredir;
    print_standard_redirect('phrase_to_show');
}

i get this with the above

Parse error: syntax error, unexpected T_VARIABLE, expecting ',' or ';'

kh99 · #8 10-27-2012, 10:44 PM

oops - it had a typo, it was missing a ';'. I fixed it in my post above.

Is that a message from somewhere else in your code?

Edit: Maybe try this:

Code:

   print_standard_redirect('phrase_to_show', true, false, -1, true);
