Tired of people copying your content? Defend your site with a plagiarism warning banner! I came across this site quite randomly on Google, and thought it was pretty darned clever. http://www.copyscape.com will scan any given page, and look for copies of it throughout the Internet.. If you wish to add a banner to your vBulletin, save a banner from their http://www.copyscape.com/banners.php?o=f and name it as copyscape.gif, upload it to your images/misc directory, edit your footer template and place the following below the copyright stuff: HTML Code:
<div class="smallfont" align="center"> <a href="http://www.copyscape.com" target="_blank" rel="nofollow"><img class="inlineimg" src="$stylevar[imgdir_misc]/copyscape.gif" border="0" alt="Page copy protected against web site content infringement by Copyscape" title="Do not copy content from this page. Plagiarism will be detected by Copyscape." /></a> </div> ------------------------------------ Darkwaltz4 has cracked it.!  If you would like to make the banner link point directly to Copyscape searching your forum's URL, use the code posted here Spoiler (click to open)
hold on a second! i have EXACTLY what you are looking for with this
im coding it up so it might take a second~i might even release it as a minor hack if you think its that good *edit* okay, try this one on for size! Clicking the image should take you to copyscape with the results of your search Unless I got the $url variable wrong, I wrote this in 5 minutes without access to the 3.5 files to check >.<First again, add that banner as specified in the first post, then edit the footer template and place this: HTML Code:
<div class="smallfont" align="center"> <form name="query" method="post" action="http://www.copyscape.com/" target="_blank"> <input name="q" type="hidden" value="$vboptions[bburl]/" /> <input type="image" class="inlineimg" src="$stylevar[imgdir_misc]/copyscape.gif" border="0" alt="Page copy protected against web site content infringement by Copyscape" title="Do not copy content from this page. Plagiarism will be detected by Copyscape." /> </form> </div> Edit, the variable has been fixed :-p i applied this to my own forum and it worked exactly as expected :-p if you wanna see it, look in my profile for my forum link (please dont try to join my forums yet though). and yes, it uses the variable, not hardcoded :-p Close
