'Clean Sessionhash' (1.3 released, all bug's fixed)

Hack: Clean sessionhash 1.3

With this hack installed bits in the url (s=) used for the sessionhash in all vBulletin powered links will be striped when the sessionhash is not in use.

For example, when the sessionhash is off a link on your forum will look like:

index.php?s=

Or if a action is used:

index.php?s=&action=somthing

With this hack installed the s= and un-needed & will be striped out. And will look like this:

index.php?

and:

index.php?action=somthing

How to install:

1: Apply the change to sessions.php listed in the attachment.

2: Edit all templates containing the $session[sessionhash] variable, I am not including a steap by steap template instructions because they vary so much between differnt styles. You will have to do this yourself.

You have to look for two things, links in this format "?s=$session[sessionhash]" should be changed to just "?$session[sessionhashnoamp]". Also links in this format "?s=$session[sessionhash]&" need to be changed to "?$session[sessionhashamp]"

The old $session[sessionhash] var still works as it normally would, so your board will not break if you miss some templates.

Warning!!: Do not edit links that use $session[dbsessionhash]!

This hack is not for the faint of heart to install, it will take some time.

Why don't you guys use Admin CP/Templates/Search/Search&Replace to replace your keyword with the new one in all templates?

[gmarik]

At last. Can you remove the session hash for all links? I mean hide it somethwere?

[K33nny]

This doesn't work at all for me. I did everything, including the templates and it's showing the sessionhash now.

To the people having tourble with the modification. Replace you hacked code with this and tell me if it helps anything:

PHP Code:

if ($bbuserinfo['nosessionhash'] == 1) 
{
$session['sessionhash'] = '';
$session['sessionhashnoamp'] = '';
$session['sessionhashamp'] = '';
}
else
{
$sessionurl_al = $session['dbsessionhash'];
// new template var's fallow
$session['sessionhashnoamp'] = 's=' . $sessionurl_al . '';
$session['sessionhashamp'] = 's=' . $sessionurl_al . '&';
} 


I do not have a installation of vB 2.x.x to test with ATM but will set up a test board if this dose not solve your problems

See, the problem I had was that as a logged in user I was getting the sessionhas hand as a guest I wasn't getting the sessionhash.

this attachments seems to have gone walkies

I've replaced the last codes from Anime-loo but I saw my URL still contains "?" and "s=&" things. So I replaced these codes

PHP Code:

$session['sessionhashnoamp'] = 's=' . $sessionurl_al . ''; 
$session['sessionhashamp'] = 's=' . $sessionurl_al . '&'; 


with these ones

PHP Code:

$session['sessionhashnoamp'] = '' . $sessionurl_al . ''; 
$session['sessionhashamp'] = '' . $sessionurl_al . ''; 


But it still doesn't work. It would be good if you gave us another code
Thanks.

This doesn't work for me.

[Xyphen]

ok it does work, but replacing those damn templates is hard as hell.. if someone can maybe make a installer that will do that, one goes through trouble and makes everyone else happy!
