TP 0.9.8 shoutbox permissions

[Crip]

No , go to Admin>>Members>>Member Groups>> You and Gmod ..see now?

[IchBin]

So, do you want allow only certain groups to post, and all other groups to read only? I'm not sure I'm clear here either.

Yes, I would like only the admin to be able to post. All others, only to read.

In TP098 there are no shoutbox permissions in the 'permissions' control panel... to set the member groups who can see the shoutbox you must edit the shoutbox itself.

Admin>TinyPortal>Block Manager>Shoutbox block> edit the groups there.

EDIT: Whoops! Looks like everybody beat me!  :coolsmiley:

The others may not even see a ShoutBox i do believe at least the way I set mine ?

Make a backup of the file before you change it. If you screw it up, you will be able to restore. If you open the Themes/default/TPortalBlocks.template.php file and change this line:

Code Select Expand

if(($context['TPortal']['guest_shout']) || (!$context['TPortal']['guest_shout'] && !$context['user']['is_guest']))

To this:

Code Select Expand

if($context['user']['is_admin'])

That should work I think.

Thanks IchBin.

I ll give a try tomorrow and i ll let you know about the results...  

[dimdom]

It works!

Thanx once again, IchBin.

Lets say that i would like to add another two specific users next to admin at the code below that you gave us:

Code Select Expand

if($context['user']['is_admin'])

(admin, user1, user2), able to post in shoutbox.

Can you point me the correct syntax pls?  

[IchBin]

Are they both in a Global Moderator group or something?

if($context['user']['is_admin'] || $context['user']['id'] == 5 || $context['user']['id'] == 6)

That might work. Exchange the 5 and 6 with the ID's of those users you want.
