The Perennial Reporter

[jambo_1969]

Hi All

I have a member who does nothing but report posts, he's been suspended etc but still continues to report.

I'm thinking I can add a line into the postbit template that removes the report icon..

Would this code work if I added in the new if condition to only allow certain groups to see the icon ? I'd only be adding it to the postbit template, but worried it might break the board ?

<if condition="is_member_of($bbuserinfo, 6, 7, 34, 2, 5)">
<if condition="$show['reportlink']">etc etc
</if>

Any help or advice ?

Cheers

I am sure I will be corrected if I am wrong, however I believe the "is_member_of" performs an additional SQL call.

I would try one of these instead:

<if condition="$bbuserinfo[usergroupid] == 2">
..what you put here would only show for users in usergroup 2..
</if>


<if condition="$bbuserinfo[usergroupid] != 2">
..what you put here would only show for users not in usergroup 2..
</if>


<if condition="$bbuserinfo[usergroupid] == 2">
..what you put here would only show for users in usergroup 2..
</if>



<if condition="in_array($bbuserinfo[usergroupid], array(2,3,4))">
..what you put here would only show for users in usergroup 2, 3 & 4..
</if>



<if condition="!in_array($bbuserinfo[usergroupid], array(2,3,4))">
..what you put here would only show for users not in usergroup 2, 3 & 4..
</if>


Or you could also use $bbuserinfo[userid] to restrict at a user level

is_member_of() does not perform additional SQL queries, it merely compares the data within the $userinfo variable. If the user is in a seperate usergroup then what you have is correct. If you want to merely prevent that user from reporting then you can use a conditional like:

<if condition="!$bbuserinfo['userid'] == X">
...
</if>

BRILLIANT !

Thanks for that !

PS - I know the is_member_of doesnt use SQL queries, as I have it in my navbar to show certain items to certain usergroups :D

Sorry - should that not be !==!X ?

Okay - that didn't work.

For some reason, putting the if condition in postbit & legacy, or, just postbit/legacy, simply removes the report icon for everyone....

Anyone any ideas ?

$bbuserinfo['userid'] != X

$bbuserinfo['userid'] != X


Top man - thanks !

Could this not be built into future releases of VB ? The ability to ban users from reporting posts ?

Or, is it just me who needs this ?

:D
