Will have a look at it. :)

Will have to give this one a test. Greak work!

I think this might be what I have been searching for. I have a couple of basic or obvious questions but want to make sure I understand what this can do. I am considering using this on a 4.0 Suite.

Does this allow me to have a "Newbie" usergroup that cannot post any active clickable links in forum posts? THEN after I promote them to the "Members" usergroup I can allow them to start posting parsed or clickable links?

Can this stop usergroups from posting parsed links in blog posts or cms article comments?

If I apply the "Do Not Allow to Parse" rule to an existing usergroup, will it un-parse links they already posted?

If I move a user out of the usergroup that allowed parsed links, and into a usergroup that does not allow parsed links, will it un-parse links they already posted?

Are there any screenshots?

And last, what does C.E.S. stand for?

Thank you for making this and any help with my questions!

[thincom2000]

Yes, you can create a Newbie usergroup that cannot post BB-Code. Please note that this mod affects all BB-Code at once - (B, I, URL, INDENT, LIST, etc), you cannot specify the URL tag only.

If you apply the rule to an existing usergroup or move the user to a usergroup so they cannot post BB-Code, their BB-Code will become unparsed the next time your post cache empties.

Not much to show screenshots of, except the settings pages.

CES stands for the web site where the mod is developed - http://www.crackedeggstudios.com/

I see, that might be a showstopper for me. I was just trying to stop new users from posting links. I still want them to be able to use images, format font, all other stuff. Thank you for the response.

BTW - I like the flash intro to your site. It's the first one in a long time I didn't skip. Had to see what happens when the egg hatches.

[thincom2000]

There's another mod on here called "Advanced BB-Code Permissions" that might be closer to what you want. It hasn't been officially updated for vBulletin 4 but I haven't had problems with the old version yet on my vB4 site.

[thincom2000]

Existing users should update immediately if you were already running vBulletin 4.0.3.

[thincom2000]

Posted the 2.2.2 update. Users who are also running VaultWiki (full (http://www.vaultwiki.org/) or lite (http://www.vbulletin.org/forum/showthread.php?t=239377)) need to update to this version.

[RustyDogma]

I just downloaded this mod and just love it. Unfortunately, I'm running into a conflict with:

Easy Forms (http://www.vbulletin.org/forum/showthread.php?t=234385)

None of the BBCode in my forms created with that mod will parse when I have CES installed.

I'm using the latest version of both, and am hoping there's a way around this, as everything else is working perfectly.

From what I can tell, the shared hook is cache_templates

[thincom2000]

Looks like Parser Permissions needs to be updated so that 'nonforum' messages are parsed using the forum default settings.

[RustyDogma]

Aha.. well I feel better then, I messed bunch of forum permissions, thinking maybe it was me and still couldn't get it working :P

Looks like Parser Permissions needs to be updated so that 'nonforum' messages are parsed using the forum default settings.

Is an update like that in the works? If not, no worries.. I just wanted to check with you, as I need to find another solution to my parsing issues that Parser Permissions solved for me if not :)

[thincom2000]

Posted the 2.2.3 update, which includes fixes for poll options and 'nonforum' messages.

I'll probably need to be updating this again for vBulletin 4.0.9 when the new editor comes out.

[RustyDogma]

Works wonderfully.. thank you soooo much!

[UncoderMom]

I used your 3.x version of this and love it! Glad to see you keeping up with it! :)

Thank you!

Yes, put your newbies in a different usergroup. Promotions are great!

Ok thincom, your hack works fine in my 4.1.3 but i end up with a massif problem in post page when using my thanks button whit "Hide Hack Ressurection" , every bbcode dissapear when clicking it and we need to refresh page in order to get images and all back :(

I tried to pinpoint the problem but i'm not a coder like you so , if you could help out on this i would appreciate a lot ;)

As soon as i disable you hack, it comes back to normal, so, my gues would be related to a parse_permission in it that conflicts with other hack?!?!

Tks a lot and yes, you hack is perfect as i use a Prez generator in my registration page for the members to make their intro but with out it, nothing works and first post would only show the bbcode in HTML format.

Cheers

I'm running 4.1.10 and when I install this hack I get this error.


Code:
---------------
Code is only visible to licensed users, and only when logged into the forums.

It looks like I'm missing functions_bigthree.php

Should I get a copy and put it in or was it removed for a reason in this vB version?

[thincom2000]

EDIT: Nope, functions_bigthree.php exists. It looks like you forgot to upload the files that came with this mod. You need to upload includes/ces_permissions.php from the ZIP.

[aucrawford]

includes/ces_permissions.php is definitely there. Along with the other two xml files.

I'm supposed to keep the structure as it is in the zip right? for instance ces_permissions.php should go in the includes folder etc.

I still get that error whenever I try to install the product-xml. I always allow overwrite also.

[thincom2000]

True, the directory structure in the ZIP should remain intact, but the correct location for ces_permissions.php is also the same folder with functions_bigthree.php. If they aren't in the same folder, then you have uploaded the ZIP outside of your forum directory.

[aucrawford]

I see now that I was not putting the files in the correct place. It appears to be working now. Do you have any recommendation about how I can do this kind of thing for not just images but for video and each other code?
