User Comment Hack v1.0

[The Ghost]

nice hack! thx!

[BigJohnson]

How do you make it so that you can't give your self comments and also to only be able to give one commment per user. That would be better I think. Can some one please tell me how to do that. Thanks.

heh my bad bigjohnson didn't think of the adding comments to oneself ;\ try this coding...

open comment.php

find:

PHP Code:

if($action=="add_comment") { 


after it add:

PHP Code:

  if($bbuserinfo[userid]=="$userid") {
    eval("standarderror(\"".gettemplate("comment_error_userself")."\");");
    exit;
  } 


Then make a new template called:

comment_error_userself

Add this to the template:

Sorry but you can not add a comment to yourself.

That should fix that problem... as for your second concern its more indepth because i only run one query for the user so it'd be a more interesting task to find if you've commented the user before ;\

That worked great another little addon if possible is for the button to not show up in the postbit for your name if you cannot add a comment to yourself. That would be kool. Also that other request i asked about up top about only one comment. Is it impossible or is it just hard to do or something.

heh jsut hard to do ;\ im new at php so there's many things that i don't know nor understand but i will work on something As for your other suggestion i'll take a look now

open functions.php

find:

PHP Code:

  if($perms[canaddcomments]) {
    eval("\$addcom = \"".gettemplate("comment_addbutton")."\";");
  } else {
    $addcom="";
  } 


replace it with:

PHP Code:

  if($perms[canaddcomments]) {
    if($bbuserinfo[userid]=="$post[userid]") {
      $addcom="";
    } else {
      eval("\$addcom = \"".gettemplate("comment_addbutton")."\";");
    }
  } else {
    $addcom="";
  } 


That should do the trick but i am not positive

G force, I'm a new bie to installing hacks. Inside the directions, you don't state where these files are supposed to be uploaded into. Where are these files supposed to be uploaded into?
