[rellect] AdBlock Detector [Deleted]

[refael]

Not working for me.
I have this filters:
View attachment 89410

But still showing the notice on forum_list and other pages even if filtered.

U right! I need this fix too. @rellect

Hey,
I can confirm this, and I've found the error.
A quick fix is to edit /library/rellect/AdblockDetector/Model/AdBlock.php
Line #77

if($templateParams && self::$_showAlertPartiallyChecked === true && !$this->checkPageConditions($templateParams))

Change to

if($templateParams && self::$_showAlertPartiallyChecked === true && $this->checkPageConditions($templateParams))

I'll release an update in few days, with a little different fix. But this should do for now.

Fixed now, Thanks

I purchased this and installed this yesterday, thank you!

I have an idea for you to improve this add on with a new feature...

I would like to see this add on be able to hide replies to guests if they have an ad blocker on and have it as a usergroup option.

Ways to do this are shown in the following thread which I think would be easy to implement in your add on and would probably sell a lot more copies.

Hey, thanks for your suggestion!

This will be possible as part of the option to add adblock users to a specific usergroup.
Then you'll be able to play with the permissions and hide the messages if you'd want to.
This is planned for AdBlock Detector v2.

 

[SatGuyScott]

I don't want to move them to a new usergroup, I just want to set it so if someone is Unregistered and using an ad blocker, they can turn the ad blocker off to see the replies or register.

I think moving them to a different group would be too much of a pain.

A usergroup selection of "Hide Replies to threads if user is using an ad blocker" would be great.

Just bought it, works like a charm.
Are updates through email?

Notice no longer appears after upgrade from 1.4.0 to 1.5.3, what changed?

Make sure the permissions are set correctly, and the page you're viewing isn't within the excluded pages set in the settings.
If all seems to be correct, please send me a link to your site and I'll take a look.

Tried with Opera and Adblock Plus, it is working.
New version no longer detects Adguard and/or DoNotTrackMe, it did before.

I can see the notice on your site using Chrome and ADP.
I have installed Adguard on Chrome, and it seems to be detected as well. Tested when all other extensions are disabled.
Make sure you haven't whitelisted the site.
If you believe the issue with Adguard is specific to Opera, let me know and I'll take a look.

I've searched for DoNotTrackMe, which seems to be named Blur, and as far as I understand this is not ad-blocking extension.

Blur blocks scripts including Adsense and Doubleclick,

Blur blocks ads by itself. Using these on Chrome btw. I guess it's just me, so I'll consider this solved.

Well it says "Tracking blocking". Doubleclick and adsense are storing information so I believe this is why Blur detects them.
From the description of this extension it doesn't sounds that it is built for block ads.

Could I please request a tweak to this addon to provide a different approach?
People feel they have a right to do anything to their browser to stop our sites from blocking ads.
I don't think we can tell them not to.
However, we can make them ineligible to use more resource intensive aspects of our forums.
E.g. if we run competitions, have free classifieds, allow attachment downloads etc. then we could block all those things if ad blockers had a secondary 'adblocker' usergroup.
We can then also target them with standard notices or notifications requesting they reconsider blocking ads.

So I request that if at the start of a new session, a member is blocking ads, we add a specified secondary usergroup to their account. If they are not blocking ads then we remove it.
All we need is an option to enter the secondary usergroup ID to toggle with the adblock check.
I would disable all the nags by this addon because I would rather put a discreet notification using the notification addon to explain why their account has certain restrictions.
Thank you.

This is an interesting idea and in some ways I quite like this approach. However, the issue with using user group promotions is that it can take up to an hour to add someone to a secondary user group due to the cron. Similarly it can take up to an hour to remove someone from the group. So there's no immediate effect for an adblocking user, it may kick in on their next visit and if the switch off the adblocker they likely won't see any removal of restrictions until a subsequent visit.

The add-on can be coded to move (and remove) a user to a user group immediately, "Promotions" are a different feature of Xenforo and not applicable here.

But @rellect already announced above that v2 of this add-on will have exactly this feature. ;-)

Ah I didn't realise he'd already announced it. Excellent. Thing is that we would *really* like to get this working ASAP.
I'm sat here waiting for it, basically
