Moderators Functions - Z - X Posts Before Links

Since VB4 has some build in spam guards for specific sites/users who are widely known for spamming, I felt that it didn't help stop any of the small time and newbie spammers and so I decided to make this mod.

This mod doesn't allow users to post any form of a link without achieving so many posts first. So if they want to posts tons of videos, ftp, images, websites, game servers ... etc this will stop most of them, possibly all. So wether is a whole new thread or a reply in another thread it will stop them. This also work on quicc reply aswell.

I don't have many games installed so the only game with a server I ws able to test was those of the Unreal Tournament series. If you find other kind of links that need to be stopped please let me know.

Z - X Posts Before Links:

• all options are in your Admin CP
• no template editing needed

Installation:

1. Import product-z_xpbl.xml
2. Goto --> Admin CP --> Settings --> Options --> Z - X Posts Before Links and make your settings.

Remember to clicc install.
Version:
1.4 Added Email stopping
1.3 Multiple Usergroup Filtering (added to 1.1)
1.2 A Bunch of New Features (New Product -> Z - Total Link Control)
1.1 Bug fix for People getting Parse Errors
1.0 Initial Version

To everyone getting the parse error I think I got it figured out what's going on and have been able to fix it although I'm been like hell trying to reproduct this error and I can't. So give me a bit of time to go through a few things.

Thanks again Zaiaku,

I got faith in you.

Thanks,

I looked at your code and see the error:

			<hookname>threadfpdata_presave</hookname>
			<phpcode><![CDATA[// Zaiaku needs data
global $vbulletin;
$pagetext =& $this->fetch_field('pagetext', 'post');
if (($vbulletin->userinfo[posts] < $vbulletin->options['z_xpbl_amount'])) and (stristr($pagetext,'[url') or stristr($pagetext,'://') or stristr($pagetext,'[URL') or stristr($pagetext,'www.'))) 
	{
	// Zaiaku doesn't give you permission yet
	$this->error('z_xpbl_error');
	$return_value = false;
}]]></phpcode>

You have an extra parenthesis in there (highlighted in red) and it's messing up the if statement. Basically you are terminating the if statement and then continuing on with the logical operator which is why PHP throws the error.

I've attached a fixed copy. I'll remove it when you get yours updated.

edit: removed

[linuxututs]

That fixed it "Zaiaku" !

"Errors

Freaking A ! Great!

Thank you to "boots" for finding the error in the code to.

Thanks,

P.S. Amazing what people can do when they work together......

[Zaiaku]

That's what I noticed earlier was that extra ")" wierd that it was there. I should have another version of this up tonight, I've been working on my first post artyle mod for vb4 for today.

[linuxututs]

Looking forward to it.

Thanks for all your hard work,

[Zaiaku]

Version 1.1 is up but I was hoping to get version 1.2 up tonight but for some reason isn't working properly for some odd reason. 1.1 fixes the error people was getting with the Parsing.

[Zaiaku]

OK Version 1.3 is now available. This can now be assigned to multiple usergroups. I got determined to fixing this so should be good to go.

1.2 was not released publicly becuase it has alot of extra features so it went to a whole other project.

[linuxututs]

Ok, I'll test it for you.
Gladly, and thanks for the option's.
Perfect Mod, can't get any better as far as I can tell......

Thanks,

MOTM !

UPDATE: Tested and working 100% !

Love that error message...
