vBcustompage 1.0

vBcustomPage
Version 1.0 | A hack by Velocd :ninja:


Update - 7/27/02 - Bug fix

I accidentally forgot to add the instructions on how to allow the admin to modify the custom page name and content via ACP.

Please refer to the 7-27-02fix.txt for instructions on how to fix it.



What does this hack do?

This integrated vB add-on will allow your users to have their own custom page built on simple HTML. In addition, the admin can specifiy a minimum post count that all users must achieve before they are allowed the creation of a custom page.


Why is it useful?
More creativity and ways for the users to express themselves on your forum. Users who do not match the postcount needed to create custom pages will want to post more in order to get it. Ofcourse this isn't going to happen just because it's written here, but the possibilities are unknown until you try it out.


Features:

• Via the ACP users page, the admin can toggle whether a member is allowed to use custom pages.
• Via the ACP users page, the admin can also modify the users custom page name, and also the content.
• Javascript code filter + offensive language block
• The name of your custom page will show up in the title bar of your custom page (big wow, I know )
• ..more creativity for your users!

WARNINGS:
As with HTML in posts and signatures, the vulnerabilities of allowing your members to create pages using HTML could be risky. Please moderate your member custom pages (view the source) on a daily basis, insuring that no malicious code is hidden away somewhere.


Screenshots?
Screenshots are included in the zip.

Bugs?
None that I know of, but if you find any please let me know!

One questions did any one get an error with the first query?


alter table user
add custompageviews int(20) not null default'0'

Mine comes back saying the 0 isnt valid.

thanks

i know i'm kinda late with this.. monto, try adding a ';' at the end of that first query. i think thats what it was missing. otherwise, i have this working well on 2.2.9.

This is about the most time consumeing hack I have
installed to date and yet so easy.

I was missing.

eval("standardredirect(\"".gettemplate("redirect_u pdatethanks")."\",\"usercp.php ?s=$session[sessionhash]\");");

}

Due to my own mistake and also in admin/user.php
there is 2 lines with.

makeyesnocode("Use email notification by default","emailnotification",$user[emailnotification]);

And also I have the vb members photo hack installed
and had problems with cpnav[8] I had to rename this
to cpnav[10] in all the file mods and template mods.

That did throw me off a little, but other than that the
hack works well. If I could recommend some any
thing it would be some cosmetic template changes
and also some buttons that will format the txt a wysiwyg
editer or something to that affect.

Here is s screen shot of a users page with the
cosmetic template changes.

[Keyser S?ze]

[Koutaru]

I can't believe it! I have it working in my version of 2.30 ^^;.. yes!

[ryans]

great hack. I just installed it in 2.3.0, I was wondering how all users can view the pages. i enabled the members list. also, my page counter does not go up for some reason.

thanks!

Parse error: parse error in /*******/member.php on line 1705
