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)

I ran the query here with 2.2.9 and for some reason for VB Options disappeared lol. Wondering what I did wrong?

[BfB]

Well, it does work, but unfortunately for the avatar to show up they already have to have one.

I wonder if Zed's (Zzed on here) version will display it w/out them originally having one?

Yes this is happening to me too

Due to all the problems with this hack ive droped support for this version, ill be coding a new version soon.

hey Anime-loo I'm sorry for complaining We still have a ton of fun with this hack still, I asked around on here a while back how to disable the quote feature for certain user groups here https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/showthrea...=disable+quote And this keeps them blurred if I catch them online before they quote anything, even if they insert quote vb code themselves it will still blur them lol.

But if they get online overnight and quote a bunch of posts, and then I put them in the Blurred usergroup, that is when the tables get all screwy,

Just thought I would tell you this incase it might help out with your new version. Otherwise we still do have alot of fun with your awesome hack though lol :banana: Thanks a bunch for all your hard work

[Brad]

Im going to look into all problems before the next release. If i want ill pm you the new one if you would like to beta test when its done.
