Title: Prevent members with low post count posting/pm'ing urls.
Author: NTLDR
Version: 1.0.1
vB Compatibility: vB3 Gamma, RC1, RC2

Description: I created this hack a while ago for use on my board to prevent people signing up and just posting a URL. This hack will prevent users with less than X posts from PM'ing or posting URLs.

File edits:

In includes/functions_newpost.php find:

PHP Code:


        eval('$errors[] = "' . fetch_phrase('toomanyimages', PHRASETYPEID_ERROR) . '";');

    }

Add after:

PHP Code:


$errors = array_merge($errors, verify_message_urls($post['message']));

Find:

PHP Code:


    return sizeof($errors);

}

Add after (making sure you change REPLACE_NUMBER_OF_POSTS_HERE to the number of posts a user must have before being able to post/pm URLS):

PHP Code:


function verify_message_urls($pagetext) {



    global $vboptions, $vbphrase, $bbuserinfo;



    $errors = array();



    if ($bbuserinfo['posts'] < REPLACE_NUMBER_OF_POSTS_HERE) {

        if (THIS_SCRIPT == 'newthread' || THIS_SCRIPT == 'newreply' || THIS_SCRIPT == 'editpost') {

            $typephrase = $vbphrase['post'];

        } elseif (THIS_SCRIPT == 'private') {

            $typephrase = $vbphrase['private_message'];

        } else {

            $typephrase = $vbphrase['message'];

        }



        if (preg_match('/\[url/i', $pagetext)) {

            eval('$errors[] = "' . fetch_phrase('x_contains_urls', PHRASETYPEID_ERROR) . '";');

            $errored = true;

        }



        $pagetext = strip_bbcode($pagetext);



        if (!$errored && preg_match('/h(\s*)t(\s*)t(\s*)p/i', $pagetext)) {

            eval('$errors[] = "' . fetch_phrase('x_contains_urls', PHRASETYPEID_ERROR) . '";');

            $errored = true;

        }



        if (!$errored && preg_match('/w(\s*)w(\s*)w/i', $pagetext)) {

            eval('$errors[] = "' . fetch_phrase('x_contains_urls', PHRASETYPEID_ERROR) . '";');

            $errored = true;

        }



        if (!$errored && preg_match('/(\w*)(\s*)(\.|dot)(\s*)(c(\s*)o(\s*)m|c(\s*)o(\s*)(\.|dot)(\s*)u(\s*)k|n(\s*)e(\s*)t|o(\s*)r(\s*)g)/i', $pagetext)) {

            eval('$errors[] = "' . fetch_phrase('x_contains_urls', PHRASETYPEID_ERROR) . '";');

            $errored = true;

        }

    }



    return $errors;

}

If you want this to apply to posts only you don't need to do the following edit which is for PM's:

In private.php find:

PHP Code:


        // process errors if there are any

        if (!empty($errors))

Add BEFORE:

PHP Code:


$errors = array_merge($errors, verify_message_urls($pm['message']));

Phrases to add:

In Front-End Error Messages add:
Varname: x_contains_urls
Text:

Code:

Your $typephrase contains one or more URLs, please remove them before submitting your message again.
