permission problem

[sabret00the]

i've got a super mod lounge which mods can't see yet if they guess the forum id they can see the threads, but they can't see threads in the admin lounge and the permissions are the same, if there anyway i can hard code it?

*bump*

Which version of vB are you running?

[sabret00the]

2.2.9

[N9ne]

Have you done any hacking to forumdisplay.php?

Can they see posts themselves? Or can they just see the thread listing?

[sabret00the]

they can see the posts and yes nearly every file has some hack or another in there :blush:

[N9ne]

The only thing I can think of is a hack gone bad ;), as 2.2.9 didn't have this insecurity. Have you triple checked your permission settings?

Just put something like below in your showthread.php file:

if (($thread['forumid']=="X") && ($bbuserinfo['usergroupid']!="6")) {
show_nopermission();
exit;
}
Change X to your admin forumid, and make sure your admin usergroup is id 6;)

Chris you don't need to quote integers and strings or letters should be sinqle quoted unless they contain a variable. :)


if (($thread['forumid'] == 'X') AND ($bbuserinfo['usergroupid'] != 6))
{
show_nopermission();
exit;
}


*Moved to the correct forum too* :)

[sabret00the]

Make sure that the "Use Custom Permssions" radio button is checked when editing that forum's permissions. ;)

[sabret00the]

yep it's checked, i've still gotta try the hard coding tho'

[sabret00the]

// show no permission to normal mods in supermod lounge

if (($thread['forumid'] == '57') AND ($bbuserinfo['usergroupid'] != 7))
{
show_nopermission();
exit;
}

// end show no premission to normal mods in supermod lounge


ok this don't work, mods can still get in and view threads
