vb.org Archive - Display Forum Name and Usergroup in Forum Permission Table Head

This is a simple hack designed to address what may be merely an oversight in the Forumpermission Table. When you're editing a forum, the name of that forum appears in the table head, but when you're editing the permissions, it doesn't. When you're modifying a long string of forum permissions, it's easy to forget which one you're currently doing. This hack addresses that issue and only requires 3 lines of code to the admin/forumpermission.php file. I couldn't have completed this hack without the help of MrLister, who showed me the variable I'd been fruitlessly searching for.

Here's my first hack:

In admin/forumpermission.php, find:

PHP Code:


		
			
  if (isset($forumpermissionid)) {

    $forumpermission=$DB_site->query_first("SELECT * FROM forumpermission WHERE forumpermissionid=$forumpermissionid");

    makehiddencode("forumpermissionid","$forumpermissionid");

Replace with:

PHP Code:


		
			
  if (isset($forumpermissionid)) {

    $forumpermission=$DB_site->query_first("SELECT * FROM forumpermission WHERE forumpermissionid=$forumpermissionid");

    makehiddencode("forumpermissionid","$forumpermissionid");

$foruminfo=$DB_site->query_first("SELECT title FROM forum WHERE forumid='$forumpermission[forumid]'");

Note the line that is not indented must stay that way!

Next Find:

PHP Code:


		
			
  } else {

    $forumpermission = getpermissions($forumid, 1, intval($usergroupid));

    makehiddencode("forumid",$forumid);

Replace with:

PHP Code:


		
			
  } else {

    $forumpermission = getpermissions($forumid, 1, intval($usergroupid));

    makehiddencode("forumid",$forumid);

$foruminfo=$DB_site->query_first("SELECT title FROM forum WHERE forumid='$forumid'");

Still in admin/forumpermission.php,
Find:

PHP Code:


		
			
  echo "<tr class='tblhead'><td colspan=2><b><input type=\"radio\" name=\"useusergroup\" value=\"1\" ".iif (!isset($forumpermissionid),"checked","")."><span class='tblhead'>Use usergroup default</b> (Note: this will delete any previous custom settings)</span></td></tr>\n";

and Replace with:

PHP Code:


		
			
  echo "<tr class='tblhead'><td colspan=2><b><input type=\"radio\" name=\"useusergroup\" value=\"1\" ".iif (!isset($forumpermissionid),"checked","")."><span class='tblhead'>Use usergroup default</b> (Note: this will delete any previous custom settings)<br>Forum: <b>$foruminfo[title]</b></span></td></tr>\n";

Finally, still in admin/forumpermission.php
Find:

PHP Code:


		
			
  echo "<tr class='tblhead'><td colspan=2><b><input type=\"radio\" name=\"useusergroup\" value=\"0\" ".iif(isset($forumpermissionid),"checked","")."><span class='tblhead'>Use custom settings:</span></b></td></tr>\n";

Replace with:

PHP Code:


		
			
  echo "<tr class='tblhead'><td colspan=2><b><input type=\"radio\" name=\"useusergroup\" value=\"0\" ".iif(isset($forumpermissionid),"checked","")."><span class='tblhead'>Use custom settings:</b><br>Group: <b><i>$forumpermission[title]<i></b></span></td></tr>\n";

Save and upload the file to your admin directory and that's it! Enjoy the hack.
