Edit post error

[Boofo]

Can anyone please tell me why the following code will give me the error_editpriority template whenever I go to edit a post in only 1 certain forum? It tells me I have to be an Admin to edit the post and won't let me in to edit it.

PHP Code:

if($postinfo[editable]==0 and $getperms[cancontrolpanel]!=1) {
  $editpriority="n Admin";
  eval("standarderror(\"".gettemplate("error_editpriority")."\");");
  exit;
} else if($postinfo[editable]==3 and $getperms[cancontrolpanel]!=1 and  $getperms[ismoderator]!=1) {
  $editpriority=" Supermoderator or Admin";
  eval("standarderror(\"".gettemplate("error_editpriority")."\");");
  exit;
} else if($postinfo[editable]==2 and !ismoderator($threadinfo[forumid],"caneditposts")) {
  $editpriority=" Moderator, Supermoderator or Admin";
  eval("standarderror(\"".gettemplate("error_editpriority")."\");");
  exit;
}

Label me crazy but isn't the global permissions variable $permissions and not $getperms?

[Boofo]

I think so. But (are you ready for this?), Xenon wrote that code for his edit heiarchy hack. He knows way more about this stuff than I do.

[Boofo]

filburt, your suggestion seemed to fix it. I changed all of the $getperms to $permissions and now I can edit the post. Thank you.

[Xenon]

hmm, wiered, AFAIK it has worked when i released it....

[Boofo]

I'm not sure. I had Logician's edit Hierarchy hack right above this code when I put it in. They are both still there. Is there a way to combine the two into one? By the way, changing the getperms to permissions seems to work now.

[filburt1]

You could be lazy and do (IIRC):

PHP Code:

$getperms = &$permissions; 


Then the two variables are essentially the same.

[Xenon]

yes it's possible to use them both, as i use it on my board

hmm, maybe i defined getperms there somewhere

[Boofo]

When I use them both, I always end up with the template from Logician's hack being called. The only time it called yours is when I had the problem with it. I didn't see getperms defined anywhere in your code. Maybe I missed something?

[Xenon]

line 36 in a unhacked editpost.php:

PHP Code:

// get permissions info
$getperms=getpermissions($threadinfo[forumid]); 


so you can see getperms has to be set
if this doesnt exists on your file, you should readd it again

also be sure the if block of logicians/mine hack is BELOW that
