Who says banned people don't deserve a parting gift?

Show your banned members you care by sending them a little greeting - everytime they login to their account :devious:

This is similiar to Brad.Loo's hack in which his displays a 404 error, however this one redirects the user to a set flash animation making fun of the user. How Glorious!

Special thanks to Paul M for the redirection help :nervous:

how to install?


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

how do i change the page i want them to be redirected to? (how do i change the flash movie?)

Haha, any chance in doing this for 3.0.7? I havent even looked at the code it might not need to be ported.

Suggestion: Make it in the actual template system...

I't sends you to werebored.com/youare.swf, but it has to be werebored.com/forum/youare.swf

Btw, I would also like to see this for 3.0.7

You mean it's coming up with a 404 error when using the demo account? I just logged in and it worked fine :ninja:
Suggestion: Make it in the actual template system...
I would have, but then I would lose the functionality of turning it on and off :ermm:
Get what I mean? May as well take advantage of the new plugin system all we can...
Port this to vB 3.0.7
But where's the fun in having to actually edit files? :speechless: And you can't enable/disable it either.

Anyways I'll consider doing it tomorrow.

Thanks for the comments.

@defi - The swf file is in the wrong place - you have it the forum folder but are redirecting to the root. Either move the file or add the forum folder to the redirect :)

That's really weird as I'm not getting this error - instead I'm being directed to the forum root where it's located :ermm:

Eh, I'll duplicate it for the heck of it. :nervous:

How did this wind up in code mods? This edits no code. This is a plugin.

Could a mod please fix this?

This Hack includes an additional (SWF) file.
According to our current Definition, it is not a Plugin then as it requires direct file access (for uploading the SWF).

Well so much for using the plugin instead of hard editing the global.php :ermm:

Wow this is great. I'd love a 3.0.7 port of this. ;) It looks simple enough but I was unable to do it myself (very novice coder).
