Guest Image Verification for New Threads/Posts

I no longer support my hacks. Please feel free to update them and release new versions elsewhere as long as I get the credit for the original modification.

DESCRIPTION

This hack is a port of the following hack:
https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/showthread.php?t=72026

Just like the original, it makes it so that, when a guest is creating a new thread or replying to an existing one, an image verification prompt is shown within the body of the form. The hack uses the image verification system that is bundled with vBulletin, and will work on vBulletin 3.5.x series only, as vBulletin 3.6.x+ has integrated support for guest image verification for posts.

Regarding disallowing ajax for quickreply for guests - it requires a code modification:

So open up showthread.php, and find the following line:

PHP Code:

// set quick reply initial id 


Add above it:

PHP Code:

    if (!$vbulletin->userinfo['userid']) 
    { 
        $show['allow_ajax_qr'] = false; 
    } 


That should do it.

hey all, reading through this post i am a little bit confused,

What i was looking for is to have quickreply with image verification for the guests under 3.6.8

i have installed this: https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/showthread.php?t=174769 mod that gave me a quickreply for guests, all i need now is to add image verification to it.

How would i go about doing that under 3.6.8?

[zylstra]

I don't know. I thought 3.6.x included image verification for guest posts, but maybe not for quickreply. Right now I'm supporting only 3.5.x, as that is the only forum I'm running.

Please do not install this hack on 3.6.x. vBulletin 3.6.x has it's own image verification for guest posts. You'll just have to enable it via vBulletin options.

Assuming (I haven't checked) that vBulletin 3.6.x does not show quick reply for guests, it makes sense that there is no image verification in it. However, you cannot use the quick reply instructions from this thread as they are intended for use with vBulletin 3.5.x and will not work on 3.6.x.

What you would have to do, if you wanted image verification to show in quick reply for guests in 3.6.x, you would need to have either modify yourself or have someone else modify vBulletin 3.6.x to integrate vBulletin 3.6.x's native guest post image verification into quick reply.
