- 5.00 average) There are some mods for early versions of vBulletin (3.6, 3.7, and 3.8) that are still compatible with the latest version of VB 4.x. Some of these mods are very unique and no newer versions are available. The purpose of this article is to document some of the most popular mods for VB 3.x that are compatible with VB 4.x directly or with minor fixes (and links to the fixes if applicable.) This is NOT a thread to request mods be updated to VB 4.x! I have what I believe is a pretty good list to get started. If you know of any other 3.x mods you are using on VB 4.x please post a link to them here and I will periodically add then to this post. Without further ado...  vB 3.6 Mods Compatible with vB 4.x Maximum New Threads/Replies Per X hours Per Usergroup & Forum URL: Maximum New Threads/Replies Per X hours Per Usergroup & Forum Description: Allows you to limit the number of posts per hour per usergroup or forum. Email Rules - Email must match regular expression to register URL: Email Rules - Require that users' email addresses match a regular expression Description: Allows you to set a regular expression that all email addresses must match on registration. A great way to allow only certain domains or extensions to join your forum. Title: Email Filter 3.6.X URL: Email Filter 3.6.X Description: This mod allows you to white list email domains from which new members can only register from. Instead of banning all the thousands of free emails (@hotmail.com...etc) out there why not only allow a few ISPs that you trust. Also this mod will allow you to white list TLD like a .edu or .gov so anyone (example email) can register at your forum without you having to add every university manually. Title: Display member signature only one time per thread page URL: Display member signature only one time per thread page Description: Allows you to display signatures only once per member per page of a thread- enabled per forum. Title: EZ Bounced Email Management for Admins URL: EZ Bounced Email Management for Admins Description: Adds link in all emails admins can use to stop further emails from being sent to users with invalid email accounts. Title: Prevent Certain Timezone Registration URL: Prevent Certain Timezone Registration Description: You can prevent users who select a specfic timezone from registering Title: Unactivated User Management URL: Un-Activated User Management 3.1 Description: Resends activation emails to users who register but don't activate their account. Deletes them after 10 days if not activated. Title: Admin Anger Button - Log a User Out URL: Admin Anger Button - Log a User Out Description: Allows an admin to log-out any use forcing them to re-login if they want to post/use the forum.

My staff asked for this to be added to our vb4 board this morning, as the author hasn't been back since 2007 I dont think there is much chance of an updated version so I've tweaked it for vb4 myself.
I'm not a coder but it seems to work fine on my 4.1.4 site, but use at your own risk. Close
Title: Automatically Close Old Threads After X Days URL: Automatically Close Old Threads After X Days Description: This mod will auto close all old threads after a time period the admin selected- many otpions. Title: Advanced BBCode Permissions URL: Advanced BBCode Permissions Description: Give each usergroup permission to use each BBCode. You should apply this fix: Spoiler (click to open)
Ahh yes, go to your Admin CP -> Plugin manager, go to the Advanced BB Code Permissions mod and go to the plugin: Advanced BBCode Permissions on hook: bbcode_parse_complete
Find the line: (It should be the only line) Code:
$this->tag_list = $this->bbcode_tag_list; Code:
if (isset($this->bbcode_tag_list))
{
$this->tag_list = $this->bbcode_tag_list;
}
Close
Notes: Worked fine up through VB 4.1.3- Now small problem with new editor (4.1.4+) Work Around for 4.1.4+ : Spoiler (click to open)
I can get rid of the error by editing the plugin editor_toolbar_start...
finding the code: Code:
foreach ($bbcodecache AS $bbcode)
{
if($abe1_bbcode[non_core][$bbcode['bbcodetag']] == 0)
{
unset($vbulletin->bbcodecache[$bbcode['bbcodeid']]);
}
}
Code:
if ($bbcodecache !== null)
{
foreach ($bbcodecache AS $bbcode)
{
if($abe1_bbcode[non_core][$bbcode['bbcodetag']] == 0)
{
unset($vbulletin->bbcodecache[$bbcode['bbcodeid']]);
}
}
}
Close
Title: Prevent Spam Posts URL: Prevent Spam Posts Description: Scan new posts for common spam keywords and put post in moderation queue if any are found. Title: Yet Another Mass PM System URL: Yet Another Mass Private Message System 1.0.1 Description: Allows admins to send mass PMs. Title: Hide Links From Guests URL: Hide Links From Guests Description: Guests can't see links- many options. Title: Is Bot: Registration Time Check URL: Is Bot: Registration Time Check Fix for VB4: Spoiler (click to open)
The mod is NOT compatible with vb4 out of the box, but there is a few simple change you can make to make it work.
1. Install as instructed, except add this line to the register template instead: PHP Code:
<input type="hidden" name="isbot_time1" value="{vb:raw isbot_time1}" />
3. Look for the register_form_complete hook for the isBot product and click Edit. 4. In the Plugin PHP Code text box, add the following line below the only line of code there. PHP Code:
vB_Template::preRegister('register',array('isbot_time1' => $isbot_time1));
Now you just have to wait for a bot to come along to test it. Close
Description: Checks how fast someone completes registration. If it's too fast it must be a bot not allowed to register. vB 3.7 Mods Compatible with vB 4.x Title: Replace BBCode with URL in quote URL: Replace BBCode with URL in quote Description: Replace specified BBCode in quotes with just a URL (does not work with VIDEO BBCode in VB 4.x) Title: Multiple Account Login Detector (AE Detector) URL: Multiple account login detector (AE Detector) Description: Alerts you if someone is using the same computer for more than 1 account.

maxversion=""
Close
Description: Will convert URL Links to Title of Page Links Automatically Title: Zoints Anonymous Posting URL: Zoints Anonymous Posting - Improved privacy for members VB4 Fix: Spoiler (click to open)
I was going to rewrite this from scratch so I could add some usergroup permissions to it but can't find a way to make it work without doing pretty much the same thing. The original code is sound though, just need to make one change to get it to work on vB4
I wanted it to display in the additional options box though so instead of editing the newpost_usernamecode template I edited newpost_disablesmiliesoption After Code:
<li><label for="cb_disablesmilies"><input type="checkbox" name="disablesmilies" value="1" id="cb_disablesmilies" {vb:raw checked.disablesmilies} tabindex="1" /> {vb:rawphrase disable_smilies_in_text}</label></li>
Code:
<vb:if condition="$show['anonymous']"><div><input type="checkbox" id="cb_anonymous" class="bginput" name="anonymous" value="1" /> {vb:rawphrase zointsanony_anonymous_post}</div></vb:if>
