Allow undeleteable user to modify / edit / delete themself

Requested here: https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/showthread.php?t=62395

This hack allows whoever is in the $undeletableusers variable (users who cannot be edited/deleted) to be able to edit/delete themselves, meaning that only the protected user can modify themselves but no one else can modify/delete them.

Instructions

Open admincp/moderater.php and find

PHP Code:

            if (!in_array($userinfo['userid'], $noalter)) 


Replace with

PHP Code:

            if (!in_array($userinfo['userid'], $noalter) or $bbuserinfo['userid'] != $userinfo['userid']) 


Open admincp/user.php and find

PHP Code:

    if (in_array($userid, $nodelete)) 


Replace with

PHP Code:

    if (in_array($userid, $nodelete) and $bbuserinfo['userid'] != $userid) 


Find

PHP Code:

    if (!empty($noalter[0]) AND in_array($userid, $noalter)) 


Replace with

PHP Code:

    if (!empty($noalter[0]) AND in_array($userid, $noalter) and $bbuserinfo[userid] != $userid) 


Open admincp/usertools.php and find

PHP Code:

    if (!empty($noalter[0]) AND (in_array($sourceinfo['userid'], $noalter) OR in_array($destinfo['userid'], $noalter))) 


Replace with

PHP Code:

    if (!empty($noalter[0]) AND (in_array($sourceinfo['userid'], $noalter) OR in_array($destinfo['userid'], $noalter)) and $bbuserinfo[userid] != $sourceinfo[userid] and $bbuserinfo[userid] != $destinfo[userid]) 


Open modcp/user.php and find ALL SIX (6) instances of the following code

PHP Code:

    if (!empty($noalter[0]) AND in_array($userid, $noalter)) 


Replace ALL 6 INSTANCES WITH

PHP Code:

    if (!empty($noalter[0]) AND in_array($userid, $noalter) and $bbuserinfo[userid] != $userid)

If someone hacks your account or one of your "trusted" co-admins has your account info and decides to go berserk, they can edit your password and other stats in your account, locking you out and doing who else knows what damage before you can recover. That is why the nodelete was added to vB3. There were plenty of instances of this happeneing with vB2.
