No Permission Error on WOL

[Logician]

yes I guess this should work.. And I believe "$DB_site" variable also needs to be globalized in show_nopermission function.

That code works great Xenon

You do need the $DB_site in the gobal variables and you also need to add this code:

PHP Code:

        if (strstr($user[location],'nop-')) {
            $guests[$count][location] = substr($user[location],4);
            $guests[$count][nop] = "<b>No Permission: </b>";
    } else {
            $guests[$count][location] = $user[location];
            $guests[$count][nop] = '';
    } 


Instead of:

PHP Code:

$guests[$count][location] = $user[location]; 


in online.php to make it work for guests as well.

Thanks for the help guys, this is a great addition to online.php

Now we should convince Stefan to release it hehe

So you are issueing two queries when a no_permission screen is shown? One with the location and then another to overwrite that with 'nop_'? You need to fix that Also show_nopermission() is not used everywhere that it should be so don't expect this to always work.

Great idea. It would reduce the confusion of the admins and mods who think that members are accessing restricted pages when they're not.

freddy you could share the code from vb3 with us, that'll solve the problems *ggg*
hmm, but show_nopermission is shown on most of the pages

but good to know it works, now we can optimize it

vB3 has another field in the session table called something like 'badlocation' which is set to 1 if show_nopermission() is encountered, pretty much the same way that this script works except the existing query that updates the session table is used so there are no new queries involved. This way you still have the location and can show the Admin where the user tried to go but couldn't. It's a bit more involved than I have explained but that is the general way it works.

I tried the extra field in the DB approch before I posted here but failed to be able to use the existing queries to change this properly.
