Miserable Users for vB3
Version: 1.01 vB-version: 3.0.0 Developer: KuraFire (original for vB2: Zzed) Install-difficulty: Easiest File edits: 0 Template edits: 1 (phpinclude_start) Description of the Hack: The Miserable Users Hack for vB3 is an upgrade from Zzed's hack for vB2. The vB3 version is streamlined and works without any file edits. It is purely template based. Templates modified for this Hack: phpinclude_start (the above was generated via the Hack Tracking Log, soon to come) 1.01 update: January 5th, 3:10 pm CET Instead of a custom check for the usergroup data to see whether the user is a Miserable User, vB3's function is_member_of() is being used now, cleaning up the code even more. Here's what the Hack does: (original Hack thread) This Hack will allow you to drive away people from your board without banning them. As explained by Zzed, the author of the original (vB2) hack: Quote:
TO INSTALL: 1) Create a new membergroup, and name it Miserable Users. Give them no particular permissions if you want, as you can use it as a secondary group (so you can effectively give them 0 permissions whatsoever). Note: make sure to note down the Membergroup id ! 2) Put this code at the top of your phpinclude_start template: Note: fill in the membergroup id from step 1 where it says "$miserableid = 8;" (replace the 8 with your id number). PHP Code:
Done! Note: this Hack will come in an HTL* package once the HTL is finished. Toning Down The Pain: You'll find that this hack is a bit rough on people, and may be getting too obvious. If you want to tone it down, here's what you can do: Toning down the page load delay: This line: PHP Code:
Toning down the % chance disabling of the Search engine: This line: PHP Code:
Toning down the chance of a Server Too Busy error: This line: PHP Code:
Toning down the chance of a blank page: This line: PHP Code:
Increasing the chance of getting a normal page: This line: PHP Code:
Toning down the chance of a refresh to Forum home: This section: PHP Code:
Hope you guys enjoy this update of the excellent hack by Zzed, with the improvements I've made to it for higher maintainability (and, no file edits ). Show Your Support

I installed this hack on VB 3.0 and it doesn't appear to work. I've looked thru this thread and can't determine if the glitches with 3.0 were resolved.
KuraFire- Is this hack good to go with 3.0? Thanks- Rich |

I installed this hack earlier today and it seems to work fine (3.0.0) but now I can no longer log out. What could be the cause of this? Great hack, but I guess I'll be un-installing. :ermm:

Would it be possible to make a specific IP address 'miserable'?

Installed and now running on my site with VB3 Gold without problems. Installation took about 2 minutes plus another 45 to be able to log out the test user name. LMAO I did tone it down considerably over the default settings for errors but... what an awesome idea. Nice way to run someone off without the usual hassles and harassment.

Click* Install !!
Just installed this on VB 3.0.1,and it works great. My site is brand new with only Members: 12 Threads: 53 Posts: 115 but I figured if things go right, i will be getting some unsavory characters in my forums, and would need a tool like this. Thanks! Dave |
