Hi,

this Hack is really easy to realize but my Knowledge is too less.

I have an Real-Life-Category on my Board and i twould be great if i could insert a checkbox in "Miscellaneous Options" below "Disable smilies in text" with the Option "Post as anonymous".

If this Box is checked the Post will appear as a Post from "Anonymous" ( an User you have to create before). This Account will only be used to post anonymous.

This checkbox should only appear in one special Forum.


Thanks in advance!

i think he means he wants registered members to be able to post but show up anonymously

You could just mask all the users info by adding a field to the posttable and then using if statements in the postbit template to hide info if set to 1 for true on hidden.

yea this hack would be tight... im own a poet site, and sometimes im sure people dont want to hurt feelings... you know? but if thers a anonymous script... it would be a lot better... is this really hard to do guys?

but in my case, it would be only in the forums i assign it, (which would be the forums made for the poems)

Yes i would like to have it just in 1 Forum.

Someone told me that there is an easy way to do this. Just by editing 2 Files btu he wont tell me more

im going to guess showthread.php and newreply.php. But thats just a guess.

Im with Tim on this one

use if statement in postbit / postbit_legacy

use following code in showthread.php

in the templates you got a bit more work
You would need to edit all instances of $post[username] and use the <if condition="$show['asanon']"><class="smallfont">Anonymous<else />$post[username]</if>
im guessing youll also need to use the if statement for userid also.
Test it then test it again because your going to have to use the if statement to replace replace info that would relate to the user


This is untested since there are way too many postbit changes for me to bother sorry.
If it doesnt work check your <if condition statements have been closed at teh end </if> regardless of the </if> already existing before.

Good luck hope it helps.

is that as clear as you can do it? ummm so pretty much add that to the showthread.php... but what statement to the postbit / postbit_legacy?

and....

pretty much... every template... that has $post[username], just add <if condition="$show['asanon']"><class="smallfont">Anonymous<else />$post[username]</if>? or? hmmm ? :bawling:
