Request: Stopping from a single member from changing his Custom User Text

[kenny@ecn]

Alright, the name should be self explanatory. I have a member on my site whose user text is "Site Administrator" - (and he definetly isn't)- and he keeps changing it to something else that p*sses me off - for instance, "Site Owner". He is a friend of mine, but he is not very well accepted into the board, he has a terrible attitude, and he is not good for my site in general, however, he is my friend, so I can't ban him.

How can I have it so that I can lock his, and his only's Custom User text to "Ferrari Fan" or something of that nature. Thank you.

edit member.php, find:

$DB_site->query("UPDATE user SET birthday='".addslashes($birthday)."',signature='".addslashes($signature)."',customtitle='".intval($customtitle)."',usertitle='".addslashes($customtext)."',email='".addslashes(htmlspecialchars($email))."',parentemail='".addslashes(htmlspecialchars($parentemail))."',coppauser='$coppauser',homepage='".addslashes(htmlspecialchars($homepage))."',icq='".addslashes(htmlspecialchars($icq))."',aim='".addslashes(htmlspecialchars($aim))."',yahoo='".addslashes(htmlspecialchars($yahoo))."',usergroupid='$bbuserinfo[usergroupid]' WHERE userid='$bbuserinfo[userid]'");


Before that add:


if ($bbuserinfo[userid]==XX)
{
$customtitle='...........';
$customtext='...........';
}

replace xx with his userid and change his title for the last time from Admin CP.. Now he cant change it anymore anything but '.........' ..

that should work... make sure that you replaced the XX with his userid... regards... sorry to hear about your situation ;)

if in fact you're doing it correctly then try this...

if($bbuserinfo[userid] == XX) {
$customtext = "Ferrari Fan";
}

place that coding above the coding that Locigician had first stated you should find in member.php... regards...

As G-force stated, I cant see a reason that it wont work.. make sure you replaced XX with his userID and it's correct..
