Enable/Disable Censor in individual forums

This is a fairly straightforward and semi easy hack to add. What it does is gives the administrator the option in the admin control panel for their vB board to enable or disable the swear filter (censored words list) on a forum-by-forum basis. Just in case you would like to have swearing allowed in an individual or private forum, but not allowed in other forums.

I would like to give credit to Logician for helping me figure out how to do this correctly in the request forum. Thanks much!

It has been tested on a version 2.2.7 board, but should work as is on a 2.2.8 board I do believe.

Yeah you should delete it. Use this command.

PHP Code:

ALTER TABLE forum DROP forceusepostprefix;

In order to make this work with VBulletin 2.2.8 you must change any instances of the following in the hack:

$subject=censortext($subject);

To read as follows instead:

$title=censortext($title);

Just do a mass search and replace on the hack code and you'll be set.

Does anyone know if this will work on 2.2.5?

[SemperFidelis]

In vb 2.2.9, this doesnt exist :

PHP Code:

$DB_site->query("INSERT INTO post (postid,threadid,title,username,userid,dateline,attachmentid,pagetext,allowsmilie,showsignature,ipaddress,iconid,visible) VALUES (NULL,'$threadid','".addslashes(htmlspecialchars($title))."','".addslashes($postusername)."','$bbuserinfo[userid]','".time()."','$attachmentid','".addslashes($message)."','$allowsmilie','$signature','$ipaddress','$iconid','$visible')"); 


Any suggestions on what it was replaced with ?

[SWFans.net]

It exists.

well, 2.2.9 newthread.php, this is not the case, it's still using $subject=censortext($subject);

One more thing, if you have Lesane's store hack, be careful you don't overwrite your queries.

Cool hack, but I don't use censors. If someone wants to cuss every 3rd word they say, then, whatever, they'll just be making themselves look immature, and if it annoys me and my mods enough, we'll bake some ban cakes.

Great hack!!

Had to do the changes in post 12 and remove one of the } from the second edit for the editpost.php but other then that..

Works like a charm.

SWFans.net, if you replace all instances of this:

PHP Code:

if ($foruminfo[censor]) { 


with this:

PHP Code:

 if ($foruminfo[censor] AND !in_array($bbuserinfo[usergroupid], array(5, 6, 7))) { 


will this hack still work as it is supposed to for other than staff?

Like another person here said, you need to remove a { to get it to work when you edit a post, otherwise you'll get a parse error.

This

 // censor hack
  if ($foruminfo[censor]) {
    $DB_site->query("UPDATE thread SET title='".addslashes(htmlspecialchars(censortext($title)))."', iconid=".intval($iconid)." WHERE threadid=$threadinfo[threadid]");
  } else {
     $DB_site->query("UPDATE thread SET title='".addslashes(htmlspecialchars($title))."', iconid=".intval($iconid)." WHERE threadid=$threadinfo[threadid]");
  }
    //$title="";
  }
  // end hack

Should be this:

 // censor hack
  if ($foruminfo[censor]) {
    $DB_site->query("UPDATE thread SET title='".addslashes(htmlspecialchars(censortext($title)))."', iconid=".intval($iconid)." WHERE threadid=$threadinfo[threadid]");
  } else {
     $DB_site->query("UPDATE thread SET title='".addslashes(htmlspecialchars($title))."', iconid=".intval($iconid)." WHERE threadid=$threadinfo[threadid]");

    //$title="";
  }
  // end hack
