Users can report their own posts

In vb 3 users can no longer report posts that belong to them, this was added for good reason. However some boards rely on this, because users can report their posts and request for them to be moved/deleted.

This is a one liner...

Open vBroot/report.php

Find:

PHP Code:

    if ($postinfo['userid'] == $bbuserinfo['userid'])
    {
        eval(print_standard_error('error_cantreportself'));
    } 


Replace with:

PHP Code:

/*

// this block is commented out so users can report their own pots
// HACK 
// HACK
    if ($postinfo['userid'] == $bbuserinfo['userid'])
    {
        eval(print_standard_error('error_cantreportself'));
    }
*/ 


Thats it!

Ok, you mean where you could change the post number, right? bira did one where you could move posts just like you could move threads. That's the one I meant.

[Xenon]

you cannot change the postnumber with my hack, but the threadid, and therefore change the thread the post belongs to

[Boofo]

That's what I meant, in a round-a-bout way. How come you didn't add that to the vB3 version? Or did I miss it?

[Xenon]

as said it is harder to add it because of the threaded mode of vb3, but i'll add it in a future version

[Boofo]

Great! I'll be looking forward to it.

btw. @Brad: you may want to add the reportbutton back as well

Ummm... is it just me, or is this hack completely useless without adding the button?

I'd really like to have this option at my board, but the image isn't in place.

I think something needs to be done with this line:

PHP Code:

$show['reportlink'] = iif($bbuserinfo['userid'] AND $bbuserinfo['userid'] != $post['userid'], true, false); 


in functions_showthread.php also, but I don't know what.

I tried to change it to

PHP Code:

$show['reportlink'] = iif($bbuserinfo['userid'] AND $bbuserinfo['userid'] != $post['userid'], true, true); 


and it seems to be working ok, but I've never changed anything like this on my own so I'm not sure if I got it right.

I just set it to:

PHP Code:

$show['reportlink'] = true; 


Seems to work fine.
