Show Thread Enhancements - FractalizeR: Extended Post Censor

What this hack does?
This hack is a post censor, that will replace unwanted words and phrases by the values you specify.

Features:

• Supports standard replace
• Supports replacing using regular expressions
• Allows to apply censor only to specified usergroups
• On-the-fly regular expression syntax checking

Some use cases:

• I don't like posts with multiple exclamation or question marks. Maximum three signs is allowed.
• Sometimes you ban competitor forum names from using on your forum. But users enter them separating letters by spaces or underscores. This is unwanted and it is difficult to deal with using standard censor
• Any forms of curses and bad words should be replaced by XXX

Version was tested under VB 3.6.8, but supposed to work on any 3.6.x release. Please report all compatibility issues here.

Please look at control panel screenshot below (please mind, that I am russian and screenshots are from russian forum, so for example usergroup names are incorrectly displayed when I set langauge to English).

Are you running 3.6.8 on your server? Could you please try to uninstall and reinstall my hack? It seem like no settings are saved or evaluated inside plugin.

When searching for words to replace, will it also search for ones with spaces? For example, if you block "example", will it also block "ex am ple" on the fly? If not, this is exactly like the Replacement Variable Manager that's built into the forum.

Now, having a regex area is kind of nice, but I could swear that's built into the forum as well, just can't remember where I've seen it in the AdminCP.

no, 3.6.7 at the moment.
I'll upgrade and try again )

Would this work with changing quotes from:

“ -and- ” -and- ’

to

" -and- " -and- '

Rss feeds don't like the previous curly quote.

Ok. If you will find this out - tell me.

Ok. I am not sure will this help or not, but I am running 3.6.8 and all fine.

You can make it work, but my censor does not affect RSS. Displaying posts only.

Brilliant, exactly what I need, will install later.

[Big_Ern]

Will this hack censor thread titles as well as the post body text?

Does someone who also installed this hack has any problems with it?

I also installed it and am getting the same errors.

These errors appear on every post I try to view at the very top of the page (right where my logo banner is) The post itself is blank.

vB 3.6.8
PHP 4.4.4
MySQL Version 4.1.22-standard

I tried the same Control Panel settings as brandondrury, as well as my own custom regex.

This mod looks perfect for my forum. I hope we can find a solution

I think I found a solution for this problem: http://gallery.menalto.com/node/57633

some guy was running into the same problem with another chunk of code he was writing.

Fixed this one by adding a line to .htaccess

php_value session.cookie_domain MY.DOMAIN.COM

I would rather not modify my .htaccess if there's a simlpe fix to your hack that could be done instead.

Cheers

It is not a problem of my hack, I think. It seem like PHP bug or misconfiguration.
May be also at main VBulletin settings something related to cookies or session is misconfigured.

About titles - they are not affected.
