Anti-Spam Options - Disable Member Homepage Profile Option based on Post Count or Usergroup by BOP5

Brought to you by BirdOPrey5

Update Version 1.7 -

• Usergroup permissions now work for primary OR secondary (additional) usergroups.
• You now check a box to choose usergroups- no more looking up specific IDs.
• Added option to delete homepage link of any users who get perm banned.
• Official Mod Thread now on Qapla.com.

Update Version 1.5 - This upgrade will disable links to homepages for users who may have entered a homepage before this mod was installed. As usual it will also block new members from entering a homepage based on the rules you set (post count or usergroup.)


This mod will remove the option to allow members to post a "Homepage" URL in their profile based on post count and/or usergroup id. In addition you can disable it for everyone if you want.

This is often requested because some admins feel some members join their forum only to place links to their own pages and never contribute to the forum. This will require users attain a minimum post count before posting- or stop them from using a homepage altogether.

You may override these settings by specifying immune usergroups- usually admins and maybe mods.

This has been tested on 4.0.8, 4.1.11, and 4.1.12. It should work on other 4.0/4.1 versions as well. It will not work on 3.8, I have a 3.x version available in the 3.8 mods section.

If you have a heavily customized style then it is possible this mod will not work at all- it works based on automatic template edits and if the right default code isn't there nothing will happen. This is not a "bug." If you have a customized style try it first, if it doesn't work see the manual edits in Post #12 of this thread.

Install as normal, full instructions included in text file inside zip.

Contains: No files to upload, 4 plugins, 2 phrases, some new options.

You can change the default messages by editing the two phrases.

See screenshots for details.

I installed the mod and its partially working, however for those members who already have homepage links and under 10 posts , they are still showing. How do we get rid of those links?

[BirdOPrey5]

Can I get a link to your forum?

WHere are you seeing their homepage URLs? (the people with < 10?)

Do you have a custom style? If so can you see if the homepages are visible on the default style. it will let me know where the issue is.

Had to on mine not sure what version it was then

Hmmm... Do you have a custom style? I haven't looked at this mod a year+, it's possible something changed.
