This mod allows you to block access to the following vB PHP files by specifying what user IDs to block. This works on a per file basis, so you can have different userIDs for different files. You can also block userID 0 to prevent guests or bots from accessing any of the files. No screenshot is necessary, as a blocked user will see the 'you do not have permission to access this page' notice instead of the file output. See post6

If the extension has both of these, where global is the forum root global:

Code:

define('THIS_SCRIPT', 'uniquename');
require_once('./global.php');

And the extension prints out a text page, go stick this in vB config:

Code:

// change 123.123.123.123 to your IP address
if ($_SERVER['REMOTE_ADDR'] == '123.123.123.123')
{
        $config['Misc']['debug'] = true;
}

Then go to vB Options -> Block File Access Settings -> Add Setting:

Code:

Varname: bfabu_uniquename_uids
Setting Group: Block File Access Settings
Product: Block File Access
Title: Block 'uniquename' Usage
Description: Enter the user IDs to block from using the uniquename.php file. Separate each user ID with a space. Example: 8 16 24
Option Code: leave it blank
Data Validation Type: Free
Default: leave it blank
Display Order: leave as-is
vBulletin Default: Yes

And then remove this from vB config:

Code:

// change 123.123.123.123 to your IP address
if ($_SERVER['REMOTE_ADDR'] == '123.123.123.123')
{
        $config['Misc']['debug'] = true;
}

Note uniquename needs to be unique.
