Blur Ban v 2.0 [updated]

[updated to 2.0, if you have installed and wish to upgrade use the upgrade-fromv1.0.txt file in zip]

[If you are having problems with the hack not working make sure you are using internet explorer 6.0 or higher]



This hack will allow you to put a user in the "blur" usergourp, when they are in the blur usergourp their post/usernames are blured out and their avatar is replaced by a ban be please image

This is all done via the postbit_blur template, i decided to make this template based so people where not just limited to bluring out post, they could, depending on how they edit, remove the whole post itself!. So, this is a very powerful hack depending oon how you edit one template .

Info:
Run 1 Query (to add blur usergourp)
Add 2 templates (postbit_blur,postbit_blur_avatar)
2 edits to admin/functions.php
2 edits to showthread.php

Demo: http://www.kousetsu.net/kan/showthre...=&postid=17030

Hack by: Anime-loo, inspired by Zzed's example.

Changes from 1.0

added new template postbit_blur_avatar (avatar now changes when in blured usergourp)

cleaned up install doc's (i was never good at making one )

postcount changes to - 1000 when in blured usergourp.


Files in zip

blur-install.txt (query and file edits to be done)
templates.txt (all the info for the templates that must be added)
upgrade-fromv1.0.txt (for users that already have this mod installed and wish to upgrade, if installing for frist time ignore this file)
ban.gif (baned avatar, this will display insted of normal avatar for users in blured usergourp)

But that's it - not where or how, you haven't ever returned my PM's - how do I run a SQL QUERY or whatever, where and how please ?

Everything else has been done correctly I'm sure... Help please?

Wow, this is really complicated for me You had said you could go in and take a look for me, is that still a possibility? I just don't get this at all

Ok, i installed it and it work on IE!
But i still can read posts of blured users with "copy"(Ctrl+C) and "paste"(Ctrl+V) in notepad.
Any fix for this?

[Esorcista]

Another problem...
If i quote the blured message i can see it too...

[DrkFusion]

Is there a way to blur vertically?

Esorcista: This is designed to anoy the user blured, sure there are ways to bypass the blur, there is not much i can do about that.

I've noticed if the user that's blurred quotes a message than the thread page gets screwed up... Is there a fix for this?

Edit, actually, it is. See my next post below:

My ban.gif is not showing up at all.

Everything else works great. Any ideas?

I'm sure it is something simple. I'm running v2.2.9
