Internet Blackout NZ is an event in protest of changes to copyright laws in NZ that require ISPs disconnect any user accused of copyright infringement, with or without proof. During the week starting February 15, many Twitter and Facebook users blacked out their avatars in a joint protest against these changes. On February 23, many websites are blacking out their entire websites for a day.
This module blacks out a Drupal website with a link to CreativeFreedom.org, where more information about the issue and event can be found. Some pages are not blacked out, so that the module can be disabled; user, user/*, admin and admin/*. The list of pages NOT blacked out is configurable (See below).
The blackout page, link, title, CSS and content can be changed with regular theming techniques. The different methods in order of complexity and amount of control available:
- Implement a preprocess function in your theme;
THEMENAME_preprocess_internetblackoutnz_blackout(&$vars)
. Modify the variables in $vars
and don't return anything.
