Can someone help me with the user.php file?

[Chris M]

I am an Admin at ThePhora.com, and I have a problem...

I am trying to edit the user.php file to restrict access to my profile...

We have 2 Nazi Administrators who insist on editing my profile, and I want to be able to block them from accessing my profile...

I tried demoting them, but another Admin re-instated them, and since then they keep doing it...

Can you show me how to or help me to edit the user.php file to stop them?

Thanks...

*BUMP*

This is a really big problem...

Satan

why dont you just remove their admin rights

[Chris M]

I told you that...

Because another Admin keeps adding them...

Satan

[Steve Machol]

Then remove that Admin's rights as well.

[Chris M]

Lol...

If I did that, there would only be two left...

I think if someone could help me edit the user.php file, then I could deny them access, as they dont have FTP access...

i thought you meant nazi as in +++++++, but after i visited the site i realized you were speaking literaly.

[Chris M]

Lol...

I meant it in both senses of the term...

Their names are Wehrmacht and LaundryBob...

We have a mixture of Aryans, Socialists, Religious and Gaming groups of people, and we all discuss and make good conversation...

But If anyone can help...

Using the basis of Viewing the Admin Log...

Would something like :

$canviewuserid=13 = "13";
$canpruneuser=13 = "13";

I am userid = 13...

I am just theoretically suggesting something...

Can you tell me if this would work?

Satan

[Chris M]

Thats all in admin/config.php

I am going to try it, and post my results...

Satan

[N!ck]

here's an idea. do something like:


if (($userid == "zz") && ($bbuserinfo[userid] == "xx" OR $bbuserinfo[userid] == "yy")) {
show_nopermission();
}


replace zz with your userid and xx and yy with the userids you want to block

it SHOULD work

[Chris M]

Thanks...

I shall try that, as my idea failed:)

Satan

[Chris M]

No it didnt work...

I tested it with a fake admin account of user id 86...

Satan

[Chris M]

I am going to try editing a different file...

I have an idea that might make it work:)

Satan

@nicksaunders - I would never say this online for the fear of being mistaken as Gay, but I love you for that!!!!!!!

Thanks ever so much...

I tested it, and it comes up with : you do not have permission to access this page!!!

Brilliant!

Thank you...

Satan

[Chris M]

Aha...

I have got another idea...

If I wanted to restrict viewing to misc.php, how would I do that?

Satan

[Chris M]

OK :

I tried

if (($userid == "4" OR $userid == "88") && ($$bbmisc)) {
show_nopermission();
}

Any pointers on where I screwed up?

Satan

[Chris M]

If I cant stop them from doing it, can I somehow exempt myself from it?

Satan

[Chris M]

Then I tried this to exempt myself -

if (($userid == "13") && ($bbmisc[userid] == "4" OR $bbmisc[userid] == "88")) {
show_nopermission();
}

Satan

[Chris M]

I think I have the solution to that error...

Working on the Basis of what nicksaunders told me yesterday, I have developed this code which I think will block them from doing the user postcount update?

if ($action == 'updateposts') && ($bbuserinfo[userid] == "1")) {
show_nopermission
}


Now?

I believe this will work, though I have not tested it yet?I am going to test it with another account by editing the admin/misc.php file?

I was wondering if there is any way to manipulate this, so that everyone else?s post count gets reset, apart from mine?

Any ideas?

Thanks in advance?

Satan

if (($action == "updateposts") && ($bbuserinfo[userid] == "1")) {
show_nopermission();
}


you just had a couple little syntax errors ;) otherwise it should work

[Chris M]

Thanks...

You are a real help m8...
