How to make shouting only available for admin ?

[knat]

Like it says on the can. How do i make it so only admin can use the shoutbox but all users can see the content ?

[Ken.]

Set it so that only the admin can see it?

Under TP>Edit Blocks you can de-select everyone else, including moderators.

EDIT: Never mind, just reread your post Tank... my way would hide it from everyone.

[knat]

Yes i need all to see but only me to use it... can it be done ?

Open up the TPortalBlocks.template.php file and find the spot where the textarea is for typing the shout. Add this code around it as a quick hack for this.

if ($context['user']['is_admin']){
echo 'textarea code in here';
}

This will just make the textarea not show for anyone unless they are an admin.

What version of TP are you using?

This is my shoutbox code.

I dont know what version im using.. i got off the upgrading train a long time ago.. just simply got to many mods for that lol 

Anyway i think its impossible to tell what version i use because i removed the version number at some point 

I didnt expect this to be so complicated.. there really should have been a permission system for the shoutbox in the first place if you ask me 

So is it still possible to do with my old TP version ?

[Jpg]

I don't think it's possible if there isn't a form on your shoutbox man...you sure you got that from the right place?
I believe the code you need to edit is in tportalblocks.template.php in the default theme.

[knat]

The code i posted above is from my tportalblocks.template.php file 

My TP version is 0.9 is says so in the top of the file... so was something changed for shoutbox since that version ? I do have a text area because i use it when i use the shoutbox.. i just cant find it in the function 

Edit.. i attached the file maybe it will clear thing up
