Post by **Stoker** » 03 Jun 2025, 14:03

There is a bug in the Topic AdBlock function.
Do not use it before next version!

I need testers!

Please go to the demo page: phpbb-adblock-detector
Use your adblocker to block elements.
Reload page and see what happens.
And let me know how it goes.

At the moment, the blocked elements keeps returning on every pageload.

On Firefox beta with uBlock Origin and AdBlocker Ultimate

Extension updated!

Update Instructions:
You may want to copy the text for the custom page before proceeding.
- Disable in ACP
- Delete data in ACP
- Delete folder via FTP
- Upload the new folder
- Enable extension and enjoy

Fixed:
Bug that disabled topic view for everybody. Not just AdBlockers.

Improvements:
- All CSS is moved from stylesheet to inline HTML. This means that AdBlockers doesnt have a class to block
- Dynamic ID's. New ID on every pageload. This means that when an AdBlocker block the current ID, the block will appear again on next pageload.
- Noscript added. Then users cant just disable javascript to avoid ads and AdBlock detector messages. They will get the same if javascript is disabled.
- Link to custom page added in the AdBlock detector messages. Then you can explain why they see the messages.
- Several minor tweaks

Is it also possible to exclude a group? Maybe with
a permission that you have tot set? We have a group with paying members that I would like to exclude from this extension.

There is no permissions ATM, but its a good idea for next version.
Until that happens you might want to look at the group templates ext https://www.phpbb.com/customise/db/exte ... variables/
It does require you to do some manual edits of the template files.

Another thing. I you are using an ads ext with permissions, you can just remove ads for that group. Then they dont need adblocker enabled on your site

I use that template extension for other stuff, going to take a look and see what I can do. I want my paying users to see nothing concerning ads or blockers.

Seem like I have permissions working on my localhost.
Need to test it more but looks good so far
