TP 0.9.8 shoutbox permissions

TP 0.9.8
SMF 1.1.10

Hi all,

I would like to know if I could (and how if it is going to be hardcoded) change the shoutbox permissions so no one except the admin (and the moderators perhaps) can post messages.

I would like to use it as an announcements center for my forums and not as a ...shoutbox.

Thank you.

TP 0.9.7 is like 3 years old now. I wouldn't have the slightest clue on what options there were back then. I would suggest you at least update to TP 0.9.8. There were some security fixes in that update if I remember right. However, I don't think there are any options like that with even the most current shoutbox. You can't limit to any particular group who can post in the shoutbox. You will probably have to modify the code to manually check for the groups, and then only allow those groups to see the textbox and submit button.

IchBin, sorry, my mistake...

I meant 0.9.8.

I can see possibilities in v1 beta 4, but I don't have a forum with 0.9.8...

I could set one up if you are desperate to stay with 0.9.8  though.

I have a 0.98 Portal , anyone  cares to test the ShoutBox ?

Me n my G/F could only see and post in the ShoutBox as she is Global mod ... no one else knows of it.

I'm here dude, just let me know what you want me to do..

[dimdom]

OK, can someone give me a clue from where to start (what file) in order to change the permissions?

It's all in the permissions .. set it forget it

[Freddy]

Sorry I misunderstood, I thought dimdom wanted other people to see it..

Crip, what do you mean? The only permission that i can see is the one that permits guest to shout or not....
