Anonymous Board Modification
Version 0.3

Originally written by:  Michael Miller
Updated for 1.1.4 by Kindred

This mod allows you to set up anonymous boards. 
Anonymous boards change the poster's information so that the only record is their IP address at time of posting.

To setup a board as an anonymous board:
Admin -> Manage Boards -> modify
Then click the appropriate check box

Once that is done by default all posters to that board will be anonymous. 
However it will not retroactively change any posts nor will it change posts that are moved into that board.

On a per post basis a poster can choose to post non-anonymously by checking the check box that is displayed on the post screen.
This check box only appears on the editor screen so anyone using quick reply won't be able to unanon themselves.

Any posts moved out of an anonymous board will still remain anonymous.

note: Due to changes in how 1.1.4 code, I am unsure if this will run on any previous version...  (you should have 1.1.4 anyway)

Wow...It is naaais :D
Many guys will be trilled to have this mod.
Thanks man

allumius:
is posible the "nick" for this anonymous board not "ANONYMOUS" and for example "COLECTIVE POSTER" for example

Sorry for my very bad english

Kindred:
Actually, yes...

in Sources/Post.php, the mod added these lines of code

--- Code: --- // Destroy the identifing user data
$user_info['username'] = 'Anonymous';
$user_info['name'] = 'Anonymous';
$user_info['email'] = '';
$user_info['avatar'] = array();
$ID_MEMBER = 0;

--- End code ---

You can change the text to anything you like...

Actually, on further review (someone had asked for this), you could assign a specific UserID, email, and/or avatar to the "anonymous poster"


I think, for version 1, I will add an admin interface that allows the admin to define these values. (that won't happen until after December, though)

Any way to get rid of the 'Guest' under the username?
