Adblock detector

[movierchives]

Does one exist for SMF, which which advises people to switch it off for the domain?

Not in the searches I just did.

The mechanics of detecting whether AdBlock is blocking anything doesn't look hard from what I've seen on the BlockAdBlock github, which is forked from a different named item, which for the purposes of this discussion would get censored.... Writing a mod to do this would depend on what action you want to happen.

You don't need JavaScript for this, you just need CSS.

The trick here is to make it look like a ad when it is not. I figured this out while looking in the DOM while trying to figure out how these blockers work.

You create a div with a class name of any of these.

Code Select Expand

.adsbnr
.adsbody
.adsborder
.adsboth
.adsbottom
.adsbottombox
.adsbox
.adsbox-square
.adsboxBtn
.adsbox_300x250
.adsboxitem
.adsbttmpg
.adsbygoogle
.adsbygoogle-box
.adsbygoogle2
.adsbysinodia
.adsbyyahoo
.adsc
.adscaleAdvert
.adscaleP6_canvas

If you want to display a message then I would suggest hiding a error div behind of the div with this class. So when the ad blocker is off the div would be covering it up, when it is on then the error would show.

I have this setup on my site if you want to take a look.
