[+] Ported to vBulletin 3.7.x - 3.8.x.

1.0.3
[+] The modification is now officially compatible with vBulletin 3.6.0 and above.

[+] Added restriction to prevent alteration of password for unalterable administrators.

The difference is, in Kirby's version you could delete the admin (but not edit him). In mine, you can edit, but not delete.

Mod, move it to plugins please thanks.

Awesome plugin!

*Clicks install

It was a real pain having to edit the config file to modify my settings! Not any more!

Sovereign · #25 08-04-2005, 03:48 PM

Thank you! I couldn't edit myself (I set myself as unalterable for security reasons) and had to keep FTPing new config.phps every time I changed something...

Erm ... I check for do != 'kill', you checked for do == 'update'
As those are the only actions in user.php that check undeletableusers it should be the same?

Oh. Sorry. I read it as do=='kill'... lol. Yeah, it would do the same, but I prefer a specific action, rather than any exclusive actions if you know what I mean.

Andreas · #28 08-04-2005, 08:22 PM

Yeah, I didn't want to check for update as this is used by almost all Scripts.
Maybe

PHP Code:


			
if ($_POST['do'] == 'update' AND basename($vbulletin->scriptpath) == 'user.php')

{

stuff

}

Then it would really be disabled just for this action.

Actually, only user.php does any changes to user accounts. So it would be pointless to check for the script as well, wouldn't it?

Andreas · #30 08-04-2005, 08:49 PM

I was too lazy to check other Scripts ^.^
If it's only being used in this one, great.

It is not a VB3 engine, just a parsed copy!
