New thread.

Edit: Am I anonymous?

Edit 2: Wow, the last edited by message doesn't show up.

Hello CP

[Anonymous]

Hi Avedomni!

There will probably be a way to remove IPs from this as well. :V

[Anonymous]

Side effect: New Posts thinks this thread is new when I post to it.

[Anonymous]

Well, removing IPs is possible, but I'll hold off of it for now.

[Anonymous]

We're able to remove IPs, but do we want to? :V

And yeah, the new posts thing is annoying and probably fixable but I don't remember my way around vB as well as I used to.

Probably not. :V

I have no experience in making vB plugins, and I don't have any access to the core code so the only think I can do is to use some badly documented "API" and my experience in PHP.

Of course there's still the problem of the "users browsing this thread/forum" showing up but that's probably not easily fixable. Thus, posting here isn't really anonymous. :V

What I was thinking about doing was just throwing $userid=0; in the first hook for pages loading in this forum, so that it would treat the user as being logged out. The only downside would be it showing the login box (though that could be fixed) and moderation tools being disabled (hmm, maybe a profile option override?), but it would fix that issue.

I assume this would also mean that the current hook is no longer needed, if implemented correctly? I mean, if "the first hook for pages" works on all pages, like on post submits. I don't know whether by the time the first hook is called the forumid is populated in a variable or that it still has to be grabbed from the querystring.

The issues sound doable, and maybe they even already work on the template side if the user retains permissions. Edit: navbar uses <if condition="$show['member']">, which may or may not be updated because of the userid being changed. Kind of depends on the order I guess. (Also, this edit could probably theoretically turn up being made by Anonymous if this would work.)

Also, it would be interesting to see what happens with the global who's online list, because it may see it as the same session, or it could see every view as independent users, which would clog it up quickly.

Okay, so I'm using fetch_foruminfo as hook. (Disabled for everyone but myself for now as I'm testing it.) Some remarks:

If this gets through, people can post. Yay!
Your Username shows up when posting, but I believe it will be ignored.
Login form is showing up. Maybe we could disable this with $vbulletin->options['allowregistration'] = false; in the plugin.
Admins/mods can still edit posts (permissions are respected) but when they do, the "last edited by" message doesn't show up. I will try to fix this before i am a huge faggot rape my face
The global "Who's Online" shows what the user is doing, but the "Currently Active Users Browsing This Forum/Thread" hid me. Though, I think it may show the other users. Will need more testing.

Adding the option did not have major effects. Also, the quick reply has disappeared. I can make tags and it shows up as being from me, but I can't view who added it like I can. Not a big problem though.

Edit: I also cannot mark this thread read. The best viable solution is to have the forum not show up in New Threads. Yeah, that will not have it show up for other people as well. Hm. Apparently that option doesn't exist.
My permissions are actually limited, however. Thread tools/inline mod have shrunk in possibilities, and maybe more importantly, IPs cannot be seen. Hm. Maybe we should add a User CP option that can disable the anon mask, but also disallow posting?

Edit 2: I dropped setting userid=0 and I am now setting the session's "loggedin" to 0. Seems to be working fine, with all permissions around. Who's Online still shows me as reading this, etc. Let's see what editing will do.

Nice, good stuff.

[Anonymous]

"loggedin" to 0 logs me out after session expiry. Hm.

Hello, my name is testbot and I am therefore testing this.

I should probably check to see if the vbbot works as well

Interestingly, the edit button shows up after posting, and you get an edit form when you click on it, but it is nonfunctional. It disappears after a reload. Perhaps we should keep it that way. A solution may be to enable post editing for unregistered users in this forum, but not for now since it could break stuff.

Marking threads read seems to be working.(?) Edit: As in, the bug that never marked it read is fixed. But it still marks the new post as new even if you had posted it.

[Anonymous]

I'm posting anonymously!

[Anonymous]

Is this an anonymous post? Will it get through without errors? Who knows?

[Anonymous]

Now, testing if this actually fixed the new posts bug.

[Anonymous]

Considering everything seems to be working, I've also enabled the other plugin for everyone which gives a little more anonymity. Somewhat.

Testing editing.

[Anonymous]

Fuck anonymous. We should all be Bobbsey.

[CP]

You can now set a username that is used instead of "Anonymous" during posting. (You can also set it in the user options.) This does makes you less anonymous, but I suppose this is what people expect, considering other anonymous boards out there. But of course it's all optional.

Note that you cannot use a user's name (although you can use a non-exact representation). I can easily fix this, but it's also cool this way.
