Disabling Report a Post in Specific Forums

Could there be any code for that? Some kind of <if> conditional statement? We want to disable it for one or two forums that are private.

You could put a condition around the button in the postbit. Something like:

HTML Code:

<if condition="$forumid != 'xx'">

report button html

</if>

Is there a conditional statement for something like "$forumid is not 'xx'"?

The code Lynne posted is it. != means not equal to.

I'm trying to do the same thing, remove the report post button from just one forum. But my if statement does not seem to be working.

Code:

  <!-- No Report-Post-Link in clubhouse -->

  <if condition="$forumid!='488'">

  <if condition="$show['reportlink']"><a href="report.php?$session[sessionurl]p=$post[postid]" rel="nofollow"><img class="inlineimg" src="$stylevar[imgdir_button]/report.gif" alt="$vbphrase[report_bad_post]" border="0" /></a> &nbsp;</if>

  </if>

Does anyone have a guess at why this might not be working?

Thanks

Put a space between the forumid and the condition.... $forumid !=

I put a space before and after the != but it's still not working. My code reads as follows:

Code:

<if condition="$forumid != '488'">

<if condition="$show['reportlink']"><a href="report.php?$session[sessionurl]p=$post[postid]" rel="nofollow"><img class="inlineimg" src="$stylevar[imgdir_button]/report.gif" alt="$vbphrase[report_bad_post]" border="0" /></a> &nbsp;</if>

</if>

I triple checked that I have the right forums ID, so that shoudn't be the problem.

Thanks

You realize you are doing a does NOT equal condition?

Are you making sure to do it in the postbit that you are using? (ie. correct style and correct postbit (there are two))

Try <if condition="$thread['forumid'] != '4'"> also. Sometimes you need to use the $thread variable instead.

Wouldn't it be easier to change $show['reportlink'] per plugin? ;) So you wouldn't have to change the template => easier updates^^

Yes. I thought of that today, but obviously not back in April. :o But, he was already going down the route of doing a template edit so I decided to continue with that one (and so many users hate writing plugins).

Thanks Lynne
changing to $thread['forumid'] was exactly what did the trick. here is the code again for anyone trying to do the same thing:

Code:

<if condition="$thread['forumid'] != 'xxx'">

<if condition="$show['reportlink']"><a href="report.php?$session[sessionurl]p=$post[postid]" rel="nofollow"><img class="inlineimg" src="$stylevar[imgdir_button]/report.gif" alt="$vbphrase[report_bad_post]" border="0" /></a></if>

</if>

I started out wanting to change $show['reportlink'] but couldn't find where $show was located (I don't work with PHP or mods to our forums that often).
and I've never created a plugin but would be willing to learn if someone can point me to a good tutorial.

Thanks again

I wrote this out. Perhaps it will help you - Disable Post Report Link for a forum

I tested it on our forums and everything works fine.

Thanks again

Keep in mind that it just hides the link - it does not keep users form reporting posts.

That is true for the template edit, which is why I posted a link to a quick article I wrote that uses plugins and that will keep users from being able to report them in that forum.
