vb.org Archive - Message Editing Hierarchy for 3.6

While this is definitely not of plugin quality, it is a quick fix to the hierarchy post edit issue.
Please note that a moderator can still edit and/or delete the thread itself.
In addition, moderators that are not assigned a forum do not count as privileged to edit posts.
I did write this quickly, so unlike my username, I haven't fully tested it. Use at your own discretion.

1). Copy and paste the following function at the end of the functions.php file:

PHP Code:


		
			
// note: moderator usergroup only counts if user is assigned to a forum

function caneditposter($userid)

{

    global $vbulletin;

    static $superadmins;



    $issuperadmin = false;

    $issuperadmin2 = false;

    $isadmin = false;

    $isadmin2 = false;

    $issupermod = false;

    $issupermod2 = false;

    $ismod = false;

    $ismod2 = false;



    if ($userid == $vbulletin->userinfo['userid'])

        return true;

        

    if (!is_array($superadmins))

    {

        $superadmins = preg_split('#\s*,\s*#s', $vbulletin->config['SpecialUsers']['superadministrators'], -1, PREG_SPLIT_NO_EMPTY);

    }

    

    if ($vbulletin->userinfo['userid'] < 1)

    {

        // user is a guest

        return false;

    }

    else if (in_array($vbulletin->userinfo['userid'], $superadmins))

    {

        // user is a super administrator (defined in config.php) so can do anything

        $issuperadmin = true;

    }

    else if (($vbulletin->userinfo['permissions']['adminpermissions'] & $vbulletin->bf_ugp_adminpermissions['cancontrolpanel']))

    {

        $isadmin = true;

    }



    

    if ($userid < 1)

    {

        // user is a guest

        return true;

    }

    

    $userinfo = fetch_userinfo($userid);

    

    if (in_array($userid, $superadmins))

    {

        // user is a super administrator (defined in config.php) so can do anything

        $issuperadmin2 = true;

    }

    else if ($userinfo['permissions']['adminpermissions'] & $vbulletin->bf_ugp_adminpermissions['cancontrolpanel'])

    {

        $isadmin2 = true;

    }

    

        

    if ($vbulletin->userinfo['permissions']['adminpermissions'] & $vbulletin->bf_ugp_adminpermissions['ismoderator'])

    {

        $issupermod = true;

    }

    

    if ($userinfo['permissions']['adminpermissions'] & $vbulletin->bf_ugp_adminpermissions['ismoderator'])

    {

        $issupermod2 = true;

    }



    if (!$issupermod)

    {

        $mod = $vbulletin->db->query_first_slave("

                SELECT forumid

                FROM " . TABLE_PREFIX . "moderator

                WHERE userid = " . $vbulletin->userinfo['userid'] . "

                LIMIT 1

        ");

        if ($mod)

            $ismod = true;

    }

        

    if (!$issupermod2)

    {

        $mod2 = $vbulletin->db->query_first("

            SELECT forumid

            FROM " . TABLE_PREFIX . "moderator

            WHERE userid = $userid

            LIMIT 1

        ");

        if ($mod2)

            $ismod2 = true;

    }







    if ($issuperadmin)

    {

        if ($issuperadmin2)

            return false;

        else

            return true;

    }

    else if ($isadmin)

    {

        if ($issuperadmin2 OR $isadmin2)

            return false;

        else

            return true;

    }

    else if ($issupermod)

    {

        if ($issuperadmin2 OR $isadmin2 OR $issupermod2)

            return false;

        else

            return true;

    }

    else if ($ismod)

    {

        if ($issuperadmin2 OR $isadmin2 OR $issupermod2 OR $ismod2)

            return false;

        else

            return true;

    }

    

    return false;

}

2). Locate the hook 'postbit_display_complete' in class_postbit.php and paste the following:

PHP Code:


		
			
if ($this->post['editlink'] AND !caneditposter($this->post['userid']))

{

    $this->post['editlink'] = '';

    $show['ajax_js'] = false;

}

3). Locate 'verify_forum_password' in editpost.php and paste the following:

PHP Code:


		
			
if (!caneditposter($postinfo['userid']))

    print_no_permission();

4). Done!

Cheers,
FullyTested.
