Help with redirect and localdate

[Boofo]

Can someone please tell me how to send a redirect message to a user when they try to click on NEW THREAD or POST REPLY in a forum that is not open for posting to registered users? I'd like it to work like it does here at vb.org (i.e. the following):

Sorry! This forum is not accepting new posts.

I have a forum set up for a program hints, tips and tricks and the only ones allowed to post there are the mods of the forum and the Admin and Supermod. It is an information forum only.

Also, can you please also tell me how to get the users date (offset according to time offset and day of the week to display in $timezone.

I guess I've been away a little too long. This is elementary stuff, I know.

hmm, not sure if i understood right

open newreply.php find

PHP Code:

if (($bbuserinfo['userid']!=$threadinfo['postuserid'] or $bbuserinfo['userid']==0) and (!$permissions['canviewothers'] or !$permissions['canreplyothers'])) {
  show_nopermission();
} 


change it to:

PHP Code:

if (($bbuserinfo['userid']!=$threadinfo['postuserid'] or $bbuserinfo['userid']==0) and (!$permissions['canviewothers'] or !$permissions['canreplyothers'])) {
  if($threadinfo['forumid'] != xx) 
  {
    show_nopermission();
  } else {
    eval("standarderror(\"".gettemplate("error_cannotposthere")."\");");
  }
} 


then create a template error_cannotposthere with the wanted text..
and replace the xx with the special forumid

Thank you Stefan, that is exactly what I was looking for. You have once again been proven to be "The Man!"

How can I do it for multiple threads? I have about 6 I need it for right now. Also, I need to do it for the newthread, too. Would that be the same code?

[Boofo]

Stefan, is this the code I need for the newthread.php? I wanted to run it by you to make sure I did it right?

find (first instance of code):

   $permissions=getpermissions($forumid);
    if (!$permissions[canview] or !$permissions[canpostnew]) {
			show_nopermission();
    }

change it to:

 $permissions=getpermissions($forumid);
    if (!$permissions[canview] or !$permissions[canpostnew]) {
    if($foruminfo['forumid'] != 13)
     {
        show_nopermission();
      } else {
       eval("standarderror(\"".gettemplate("error_cannotposthere")."\");");
      }
    }

last one first

PHP Code:

$permissions=getpermissions($forumid);
    if (!$permissions[canview] or !$permissions[canpostnew]) {
    if($forumid != 13)
     {
        show_nopermission();
      } else {
       eval("standarderror(\"".gettemplate("error_cannotposthere")."\");");
      }
    } 


$forumid can be used here as you can see in the first line of the block but then its correct

so, first one now
do you mean do it by multiple threads or multiple forums?

forums:

instead of this

PHP Code:

if($threadinfo['forumid'] != xx) 


use this:

PHP Code:

if(!in_array($threadinfo['forumid'], array(xx, yy, zz)) 


for threads just change the forumid by threadid
replace xx, yy and zz

[Boofo]

Thank you again, sir. I got a parser error at first but got it figured out. There needed to be another right bracket at the end of the line.

if(!in_array($threadinfo['forumid'], array(xx, yy, zz))

I want to be sure I have this right now. Here's what I ended up with:

for newreply.php:

PHP Code:

$permissions=getpermissions($threadinfo[forumid]);
if (($bbuserinfo['userid']!=$threadinfo['postuserid'] or $bbuserinfo['userid']==0) and (!$permissions['canviewothers'] or !$permissions['canreplyothers'])) {
  if(!in_array($threadinfo['forumid'], array(13, 15, 3,4,5,6,7,8)))
  {
    show_nopermission();
  } else {
    eval("standarderror(\"".gettemplate("error_cannotposthere")."\");");
  }
} 


and for newthread.php:

PHP Code:

$permissions=getpermissions($forumid);
    if (!$permissions[canview] or !$permissions[canpostnew]) {
    if(!in_array($forumid, array(13, 15, 3,4,5,6,7,8)))
     {
        show_nopermission();
      } else {
       eval("standarderror(\"".gettemplate("error_cannotposthere")."\");");
      }
    } 


and for threads instead of forums, it would be:

newreply.php

PHP Code:

if(!in_array($threadinfo['threadid'], array(13, 15, 3,4,5,6,7,8))) 


right? Is there a limit to the amount of forum or thread IDs you can have in the one array statement?

And thank you again, Stefan.

[Xenon]

yes alright so

ups, forgot a bracket *gg*

no there is no limit there

threads in newthread.php
think that's a bit impossible

[Boofo]

You're right, my mistake. I guess I just got so caught up in it, I wasn't thinking again. On doing threads, I would have no need to worry about the forums array. I edited the post above. Thanks again for all of the help in this.

[Xenon]

np, you're welcome as always

[Boofo]

Can I ask another favor?

This is from the first message:

Also, can you please also tell me how to get the users date (offset according to time offset and day of the week to display in $timezone.

I'd like it to show up like:

7:33 am on Saturday, Dec 7, 2002

or something to that effect. I don't know about anyone else, but since the twins arrived 3 weeks ago, I don't know what day it is or even the time, most of the time, anymore. But only in a good way, you know what I mean?
