Censorship per Forum

This hack enables you to disable the censorship for certain forums through the admincp.

Special thanks to KirbyDe and Live Wire for their two excellent posts on the Product Management System and How to add options per forump

Pretty easy to install, just import this through your product management system.

And if you wish, one template edit to add a line to the Forum Rules box denoting whether the censor is on or off for that forum.

Screenshots of the admincp and forumrules included.

UPDATE - Included a version to have the censor off on default.

If you have already installed the first version (Default ON), and want the Default OFF, uninstall the old one, then install the Default OFF version.

Question : Is there anyway i could have a global setting for users to turn on/off censor for all forums

is there anyway to fix that?

Looking at the code (default on), I think some kind of else statement on the if condition below is needed:

if ($foruminfo['censor'] == 0)
{
	$vbulletin->options['enablecensor'] = 0;
}

Try this (untested):

if ($foruminfo['censor'] == 0)
{
	$vbulletin->options['enablecensor'] = 0;
} else {
	$vbulletin->options['enablecensor'] = 1;
}

This would apply to any other modifications that use the censor I think.

I installed that product, but maybe I'm missing something as the words are still censored in the forums I have turned off.

I don't think it is retroactive, but new words shouldn't be censored.

There was some new posts after it was installed, but the words still got censored. My co-admin is taking a look at it though.

Update: My co-admin found the problem. Some of the words was in the replacement variable manager. Nuking them their made the plug-in work.

You may want to consider writing this hack up to also affect variable replacements. If you are like me, I use the variable replacement as my filter. So if someone says the f word, it switches it to fudge, etc..
