There isn't much to see, just a new option in the forum manager. For the forums you don't want to be censored, set this option to 'no'. It is 'yes' by default.

Is there a way to allow Admins to not be censored no matter what it is set at in a certain forum?

Ok this is creepy I was thinking about something like this. BUT I was looking for soemthing that lets Private messages not be screened. ever by usergroup.
but public stuff stays the same...

i mean it would be nice if there was a switch in the control pannel that had allow swearing... block swearing.


that way if people are offended it is blocked. almost how google has safe filter.

can this mod be... um... modded to do such a thing?

Not with this hack as it is but it's certainly possible; I'm working on a 'img tags per usergroup per forum' hack at the moment which involves a new table mapping forum ids to usergroup ids with a permissions column, this could be extended for censoring too. In fact with censoring this is quite easy as you just have to find calls to fetch_censored_text in posting-based scripts (i.e. newreply, newthread, editpost) and put a conditional around the call based on the settings.

For PMs you'd just need to put conditionals around the calls to fetch_censored_text in the PM scripts (just private.php off the top of my head). For it to be a user selectable option just add a new user option mapping to a field in the user table (or use a custom profile field if you're lazy) and base the conditional on that.

Seems to allow signatures to bypass the censor globally - whether or not the forum is set to yes doesn't effect it.

In includes/functions_bbcodeparse find:

Block Disabled:      (Update License Status)
Suspended or Unlicensed Members Cannot View Code.

replace with:

Block Disabled:      (Update License Status)
Suspended or Unlicensed Members Cannot View Code.

This will censor sigs globally.

Gotcha, will apply sir.

Is there a reason it is not applying the censor to non-checked forums?

I'd be fine with it if it was staying active in forums that had mandatory censoring, but once I installed this, globally all signatures were bypassing the censor rules.

Thanks for the help,

It was an oversight on my part; I was just checking for a flag mapped to a forum id when deciding whether or not to apply the filter, but not checking for the case where there was no forum id which is the case when sigs are parsed.

The way this hack works it would be a bit more work to allow sigs to bypass the filter per forum. But at some point I hope to release a new version of this hack that allows the filter to apply per usergroup per forum, and I'll include the sig stuff in that.

I applied that change - but it appears that disables checking of any forum on regular posts - as the censor is working on the forum I chose to disable it in - users posts are coming back censored now.

I don't mind the exclusion of the signature, so long as it's always globally censored - kinda freaked me out when something ended up visible in the general areas.

Hmm I see what you mean. Well, he's a kind of fix, it'll censor sigs when they are edited (by a user, not through modcp or admincp but the code for that is the same just in a difference place), so it'll be impossible for users to put censored words in their sigs.

profile.php
find:

Block Disabled:      (Update License Status)
Suspended or Unlicensed Members Cannot View Code.

add after that:

Block Disabled:      (Update License Status)
Suspended or Unlicensed Members Cannot View Code.

Gotcha - along with that I'll revert the other changes and see what takes place.

Thanks again for the assistance, I'll let you know if anything arises from this.

My shoutbox is now uncensored. How can I change it back to being censored? Is there a way to disable it globally till I get it right?
