Disable Member Homepage Profile Option based on Post Count or Usergroup by BOP5
![]() Developer Last Online: Aug 2023 ![]() ![]() ![]()
![]() Brought to you by BirdOPrey5
www.Qapla.com Update Version 1.7 -
Update Version 1.5 - This upgrade will disable links to homepages for users who may have entered a homepage before this mod was installed. As usual it will also block new members from entering a homepage based on the rules you set (post count or usergroup.) This mod will remove the option to allow members to post a "Homepage" URL in their profile based on post count and/or usergroup id. In addition you can disable it for everyone if you want. This is often requested because some admins feel some members join their forum only to place links to their own pages and never contribute to the forum. This will require users attain a minimum post count before posting- or stop them from using a homepage altogether. You may override these settings by specifying immune usergroups- usually admins and maybe mods. This has been tested on 4.0.8, 4.1.11, and 4.1.12. It should work on other 4.0/4.1 versions as well. It will not work on 3.8, I have a 3.x version available in the 3.8 mods section. If you have a heavily customized style then it is possible this mod will not work at all- it works based on automatic template edits and if the right default code isn't there nothing will happen. This is not a "bug." If you have a customized style try it first, if it doesn't work see the manual edits in Post #12 of this thread. Install as normal, full instructions included in text file inside zip. Contains: No files to upload, 4 plugins, 2 phrases, some new options. You can change the default messages by editing the two phrases. See screenshots for details. Live Demo: www.qapla.com/mods/ (but you will need to register to see it in action.) ------------------------------------------------------ Please "Mark as Installed" if you use this. ![]() Donations always appreciated. ![]() Nominate MOTM if you LOVE it! ![]() Download Now Only licensed members can download files, Click Here for more information.

The bots sign up and get stuck because they cannot fill in this information I love it.
What we did was disabled signatures for new registered users, created another group for anyone that has been a member over 30 days and has 30 posts. Once you reach this limit the forums will move you into this group. Now you can use Signatures and Home Link. The word is already out and the SPAM is gone. Thank you once again I wish this was a default option of vBulletin. No members have liked this post.

But anyway, I installed this mod here for some other "friendly" guys, working great. Thanks a lot. Best regards L.R. No members have liked this post.

Installed it, but I still see the Homepage link on profiles that shouldn't have it. Does this only affect new users?

No it should work on all... If you have a heavily customized style it may not work, I can give you manual template edits in that case.
Curious - can I get a link to the site?

The manual template edits for those interested is...
Open modifyprofile template... search for "homepage" The code will look something like, but not exactly, this:
To disable it for everyone change type="text" to type="hidden", change value="{vb:raw bbuserinfo.homepage}" to value="" and change {vb:rawphrase let_other_visitors_know_url} to your own disabled message, like: This option has been disabled. To block it until a set number of posts is reached is a little more difficult. Replace the text above with: First you need a condition:
But remember this won't be your exact code so make sure you keep your customizations, you really just need to alter the code in red. Change the number 10 in the if condition to whatever minimum value of posts you want.

It seems to be working fine from what iIcan see... Did you have your "test" user in the "immune" usergroup maybe?

Ah I see now.
It is working. I thought it would also remove the Homepage link from current members. http://www.worgen.info/forums/member...aabulgarForeva This person registered before the mod and still have the homepage URL visible. No members have liked this post.
