permission problem

[sabret00the]

i've got a super mod lounge which mods can't see yet if they guess the forum id they can see the threads, but they can't see threads in the admin lounge and the permissions are the same, if there anyway i can hard code it?

Which version of vB are you running?

[sabret00the]

2.2.9

[N9ne]

Have you done any hacking to forumdisplay.php?

Can they see posts themselves? Or can they just see the thread listing?

[sabret00the]

they can see the posts and yes nearly every file has some hack or another in there :blush:

[N9ne]

The only thing I can think of is a hack gone bad , as 2.2.9 didn't have this insecurity. Have you triple checked your permission settings?

Just put something like below in your showthread.php file:

PHP Code:

if (($thread['forumid']=="X") && ($bbuserinfo['usergroupid']!="6")) {
show_nopermission();
exit;
} 


Change X to your admin forumid, and make sure your admin usergroup is id 6

Chris you don't need to quote integers and strings or letters should be sinqle quoted unless they contain a variable.

PHP Code:

if (($thread['forumid'] == 'X') AND ($bbuserinfo['usergroupid'] != 6))
{ 
        show_nopermission(); 
         exit; 
} 


*Moved to the correct forum too*
