Problem Description:
I wanted to disable the possibility for user to post images, so  I adapted function doparsecodesmilies in Subs.mod.

I replaced

Code Select Expand

'<img src="\\1" alt="" border="0" />',
'<img src="\\3" alt="" border="0" width="\\1" height="\\2" />',
'<img src="\\3" alt="" border="0" width="\\2" height="\\1" />',


with

Code Select Expand

($settings[7] == 'Administrator' || $settings[7] == 'Global Moderator') ? '<img src="\\1" alt="" border="0" />' : '',
($settings[7] == 'Administrator' || $settings[7] == 'Global Moderator') ? '<img src="\\3" alt="" border="0" width="\\1" height="\\2" />' : '',
($settings[7] == 'Administrator' || $settings[7] == 'Global Moderator') ? '<img src="\\3" alt="" border="0" width="\\2" height="\\1" />' : '',


But unfortunately it seems that the value of $settings[7] resolves to '', i.e. when an Administrator or GM tries to post an image, the image-tags are removed from the message.

Is there any other way to allow Admins and GMs to post images, while normal users cannot?

Yuo may have to global $settings.

Or move the code to another function

I've put the following code in preparsecode:

Code Select Expand

if (!(settings[7] == 'Ádministrator' || settings[7] == 'Global Moderator'))
   {
      $message = str_replace("[img".$searchfor."[/img]","",$message);
      $message = str_replace("[IMG".$searchfor."[/IMG]","",$message);
   }
