Post footer modification

[glennrocksvb]

Based on my research, to whitelist a script in Usercentric, you can add data-uc-allowed="true" attribute to the <script> tag.

Try editing the hook_uncollapse_postfooter template and update the <script> tag to this:

<script data-uc-allowed="true">

Thank you very much for the tip, but it does not solve the problem.

Changing the <script> tag makes no difference.

Thanks for giving me access. I see what's going on.

The Autoblocker script by Usercentrics temporarily blocks all <script> tags on the page by setting them with type="plain/text" until user consent is granted. It excludes those script tags that have data-uc-allowed="true" attribute (the mod script in your case) but the mod is still not working because it is dependent on jQuery which is blocked by Autoblocker at that point. Try whitelisting the domain where jQUery is loaded from, which is https://ajax.googleapis.com/

How did you whitelist that domain. Could you post a screenshot?

I asked ChatGPT and it said you must configure it in the Usercentrics Admin Interface as a service / domain rule.

The address is whitelisted.

configuration has been published.

I can not find the settings ChatGPT mentioned.

I tried Gemini and this is its suggestion. Option 1 requires editing existing vBulletin template (the same thing we did to the mod script) which is not recommended. So I prefer to do Option 2 or 3.

It seems no Usercentrics settings are taking effect.

Okay, let's just try Option 1. You have 2 ways to do this:

Solution 1:

Edit page_footer template. Replace this line: (Repeat this for every active styles/themes)

<script type="text/javascript" src="{vb:raw jqueryurl}"></script>

with:

<script type="text/javascript" src="{vb:raw jqueryurl}" data-uc-allowed="true"></script>

Advantage: More efficient than Solution 2. Since the change is static, there's no overhead of dynamic replacement.
Disadvantage: May cause a template merge conflict whenever you upgrade the forum. But it wouldn't be that hard to resolve.

Solution 2:

1. Go to AdminCP > Style > Replacement Variable Manager.
2. Click [Add New Replacement Variable] link for the target style/theme.
3. Enter this in the Search for Text field:
   

   <script type="text/javascript" src="https://ajax.googleapis.com/ajax/libs/jquery/

4. Enter this in the Replace with Text field:
   

   <script type="text/javascript" data-uc-allowed="true" src="https://ajax.googleapis.com/ajax/libs/jquery/

5. Click Save button.
6. Do the same for all active styles/themes on your forum.

Advantage: This will never cause a template merge conflict.
Disavantage: Less efficient since this replacement will be executed on every page load. May be slow on a busy forum.
