Vbshout - I dont want peeps to edit/prune the shoutbox
Hi what do i do so i can change who can edit the shoutbox


eg when they click on 'shoutbox' at the top it takes them too

http://www.mysite.com/vbshout.php?do=archive


How do i change it so nobody (or only selected users) can click on edit or delete shouts on there

i have got some admin/supermods that are pruning and also randomly deleting shouts

There is a template called forumhome_vbshout that has as part of its contents a line with the following info: <a href='vbshout.php?{$session['sessionurl_q']}do=archive'>Shoutbox</a>

Perhaps one could possibly change that line so that it reads:

<if condition="can_moderate()">
<a href='vbshout.php?{$session['sessionurl_q']}do=archive'>Shoutbox</a>
<else />
Shoutbox
</if>

While that will not prevent a user from manually typing in the name of the link. It will prevent those without the knowledge of the links parameters from going further.

If one is a bit more interested in digging deeper one could, possibly, open the vbshout.php file and find:

if ($_GET['do'] == 'archive')
{

located around line 356/357

Then one could, possibly, insert below the line with the "{" and above the line "$navbits = array("vbshout.php?" . $vbulletin->session->vars['sessionurl'] . "do=archive" => 'Archive');"

something like:

//use for an individual access
//if ($vbulletin->userinfo['userid'] != X)
//use for usergroup access
if (!(in_array($vbulletin->userinfo['usergroupid'], array(6,7))))
{ print_no_permission();
exit();
}

Where 5=super moderators, 6=admin, 7=moderators, and (optional) X1= what ever other usergroup one wants to include (if one was not to use X1 then do remember to remove the "," as well).

Then it should be highly possible that one would, possibly, be able to highly limit the access to the Shoutbox, a most wonderful product!, archive functions.

Of course one would be on their in doing such things.:surprised:

I've a problem if I change the number of random smilies to show on the shoutbox.

With the default settings (0) I've no problems, but if i change the value i get smilies twice if I hit the smiley button. In my example I've changed 0 to 8 and it will show 2 or 3 same smilies from 8.


I think the problem is the random line -> $GetEmo = rand(0, $GetEmo);


Is there somebody which can help to improve this, please?

Edit:
Solved. Many thx to Boothby from vbhacks-germany.com
