HTML allowed for certain groups

[w596]

Would like to see a hack to allow only admins (by group or user ID) to post HTML in threads with VB3.

I'd also like something like this, but I need to be able to just let one user do it who is not an admin or moderator. At the mo I keep having to enable/disable html in the forum for when he posts his league tables from excel!! :-)

This may work, tested it and it worked, but I'd test it first to be sure.

Open /includes/functions_showthread.php

Find

PHP Code:

            else
            {
                $parsed_postcache['skip'] = false;
                $post['message'] = parse_bbcode($post['pagetext'], $forum['forumid'], $post['allowsmilie']);
            } 


Replace with:

PHP Code:

            else
            {
                $parsed_postcache['skip'] = false;
                if ($post['usergroupid'] == 6) {
                $post['message'] = parse_bbcode2($post['pagetext'], 1, 1, $forum['forumid'], $post['allowsmilie']);
                } else {
                $post['message'] = parse_bbcode($post['pagetext'], $forum['forumid'], $post['allowsmilie']);
            }
            } 


To make it for just one person, all I'd think you have to do is change:

PHP Code:

$post['usergroupid'] == 6 


to

PHP Code:

$post['userid'] == X 


Change X to the user's ID you're wanting.


This was not my work, as I used two other hacks from vB2 to figure this out. Entourage and Palmer ofShinra are the original creators of this hack.

Thanks Scrub, I'll give this a try.

eg 2 groups + 2 individuals

Worked for me. Maybe you should release this as a mini mod.

Change

PHP Code:

if ($post['usergroupid'] == 6) { 


To

PHP Code:

if (in_array($post['usergroupid'], array(X,X))) { 


Change X to your usergroupids you'd like to be able post HTML

If you'd like it for just cerrtain users.

Change:

PHP Code:

if ($post['usergroupid'] == 6) { 


To

PHP Code:

if (in_array($post['userid'], array(X,X))) { 


Change the X's to the userid.

I've tested it and it works, but I suggest you test it first before actually making it live. . I am unsure how to make it so you can have both a usergroup and a certain member to be able to use it. But I will play around with it some more later on today and see what I can come up with.

And BarHopper, this is not my creation to release.


Before someone says why not use is_member_of, I tried it and couldn't figure it out.

[w596]

Thanks Scrub, it worked.

[MediaHound]

Hey thanks a lot!

Worked for me, exactly what I needed.

I used the array so that in the future, I can add more people as I decide who can post html.

This is a no-brainer modification!

[3DChipset]

Damn! This works like a charm on 3.0.3...

It says though, "HTML Code is OFF" though under my tag. Still allows me to post in HTML which is cool!!!!!!!

[h75]

Awesome :beard: :lick: <installed>

[TCB]

But what happens when somebody (that isn't allowed to use html) quotes a post of an admin?

[vBFreak]

Yes, works fine. Can someone tell me what I have to change if I want the same thing for user signatures? So that only one usergroup (admins for example) can use HTML, but users not

[bendigo-tech]

I found a problem with this...

All the HTML is displayed properly in the actual thread itself however, when I user (administrator or not) goes to reply, all the HTML code is shown in the 'Topic Review' area.

Is there anyway to fix this???

[vBFreak]

Yes, that's right... I got the same thing if I try that...

the HTML-code isn't parsed in the thread review...

I think you have to change on both things for the review and for the signatures a place in the code that is similiar to this example... But where?
