Disable swear censor per forum (configurable)

https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/showthread.php?t=45238 is great but for vb 2 and https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/showthread.php?t=65343 doesn't give you the option of configuring the per forum settings through admincp, so here is a hack similar to the vb2 version but for vb3. Tested on 3.0.3 through 3.0.7.

Update 2nd March 2005: See this post to stop sigs bypassing the filter globally.

I'd be fine with it if it was staying active in forums that had mandatory censoring, but once I installed this, globally all signatures were bypassing the censor rules.

Thanks for the help,

It was an oversight on my part; I was just checking for a flag mapped to a forum id when deciding whether or not to apply the filter, but not checking for the case where there was no forum id which is the case when sigs are parsed.

The way this hack works it would be a bit more work to allow sigs to bypass the filter per forum. But at some point I hope to release a new version of this hack that allows the filter to apply per usergroup per forum, and I'll include the sig stuff in that.

I applied that change - but it appears that disables checking of any forum on regular posts - as the censor is working on the forum I chose to disable it in - users posts are coming back censored now.

I don't mind the exclusion of the signature, so long as it's always globally censored - kinda freaked me out when something ended up visible in the general areas.

Hmm I see what you mean. Well, he's a kind of fix, it'll censor sigs when they are edited (by a user, not through modcp or admincp but the code for that is the same just in a difference place), so it'll be impossible for users to put censored words in their sigs.

profile.php
find:

PHP Code:

    else
    {
        $signature = trim($message);
    } 


add after that:

PHP Code:

    require_once('./includes/functions_bbcodeparse.php');
    $signature = fetch_censored_text($signature);

Gotcha - along with that I'll revert the other changes and see what takes place.

Thanks again for the assistance, I'll let you know if anything arises from this.

My shoutbox is now uncensored. How can I change it back to being censored? Is there a way to disable it globally till I get it right?

Change, in includes/functions_bbcodeparse.php (assuming this hack is applied):

PHP Code:

    if ($forum['censor'])
    {
        $bbcode = fetch_censored_text($bbcode);
    } 


to:

PHP Code:

    if ($forum['censor'] || empty($forum))
    {
        $bbcode = fetch_censored_text($bbcode);
    } 


which will then censor things that are parsed but where $forum is undefined, like in a shoutbox.

OK the titles of the threads are uncensored but the contents of the posts are still ****'ed over.
