Allow Mods to delete Shoutbox posts!

[Mr H]

I'm in desperate need of this hack.

The original hack is here:

Unfortunately moderators are not able to delete posts and since I'm not on all day and the shoutbox is busy, it can get out of hand.

Thanks.

If you want them to delete posts just place "admin_shoutbox.php" in the mod-folder.

In mod/index.php

place

makenavoption("Delete Shouts", "admin_shoutbox.php?s=$session[sessionhash]", "<br/>");

after

makenavoption("New Posts","moderate.php?action=posts","<br>");

That should work.. ;)

Open shoutbox.php

There should be some code below:

require("./global.php");

It will look vaguely like:
$DB_site->query("DELETE FROM shoutbox WHERE shoutid = $shoutid");
header("Location: $PHP_SELF?s=$sessionhash[sessionid]");
}
with an "if" line at the beginning...

Replace that section with:
if (($bbuserinfo[usergroupid] == 5 || $bbuserinfo[usergroupid] == 6 || $bbuserinfo[usergroupid] == 7) && $action == 'delete' && $shoutid) {
$DB_site->query("DELETE FROM shoutbox WHERE shoutid = $shoutid");
header("Location: $PHP_SELF?s=$sessionhash[sessionid]");
}

Lord. I need to study more PHP. Cause this is confusing.. :(. If anyone is wanting to help a poooooor little starter at PHP. AIM me at bacheloring.. Thanks.

[Mr H]

Neither works :(

I even tried enabling access masks and turning them off.

Only the admin has the ability to delete.

Any ideas?

@Mr H - My code should work - Its what I have on my shoutbox, and last time I checked my mods could delete shouts;)

You would have to remove the "if" line too;)

He probably pasted it in the wrong place ;)

[Mr H]

I removed the line that started with "if" and replaced it with this....

if (($bbuserinfo[usergroupid] == 5 || $bbuserinfo[usergroupid] == 6 || $bbuserinfo[usergroupid] == 7) && $action == 'delete' && $shoutid) {
$DB_site->query("DELETE FROM shoutbox WHERE shoutid = $shoutid");
header("Location: $PHP_SELF?s=$sessionhash[sessionid]");

Yet still no delete ability for mods :(

Mr H, I had the same problem as you. I tried doing this, and it worked... give it a try, and let me know if it works for you.

Open shoutbox.php-

REPLACE
if ($bbuserinfo[usergroupid] == 6) {
eval("\$adminoptions = \"".gettemplate("shoutbox_adminoptions",1,0)."\";");
}

WITH
if ($bbuserinfo[usergroupid] == 5 || $bbuserinfo[usergroupid] == 6 || $bbuserinfo[usergroupid] == 7) {
eval("\$adminoptions = \"".gettemplate("shoutbox_adminoptions",1,0)."\";");
}

this should do the trick. :)

[Mr H]

MetroSports, you're the man! :D

For a while there I just figured I was out of luck.

Thanks again!,
H
