Could you give me some steps to follow?

Use:

Code Select Expand

ALTER TABLE `database`.`dbprefix_members` ADD `muteduser` TINYINT(4) DEFAULT '0' NOT NULL; like

Code Select Expand

ALTER TABLE [color=Red][YOUR DB][/color].[color=Red][YOUR DB-prefix][/color]_members ADD muteduser TINYINT(4) DEFAULT '0' NOT NULL; then install the MOD & upload the files. do not forget the english.lng
You should find the mute-option in the 'change user profile'-screen in the lower part then. (it's a checkbox)

[Lonestar]

Got it to add to database, now to add the mod itself in YABB. Any hints on the best way to do that?

[Jedi~]

Use BoardMod....

Joker, no there isn't unless they try to use the post action... I could change this I guess.

[joker]

Could be usefull to avoid stupid user questions
I propose to display a muted-phrase with the user-name (like '[user] - muted, contact the admin').  But it should be visible only for the muted user.

[Jedi~]

Don't quite understand what you just said, but here's what I had in mind (and will do in a sec when I take a break from my moods mod):

Display a bold message under their username (around the PM area) that tells them their muted (if they are of course.)

[joker]

Exact! I wanted to express in addition that not everybody should read that sbody was muted.

[Jedi~]

Of course

Ok ive done everything right, got the table added, edited each PHP page and uploaded them. Got the checkmark viewed and useable.

now when i try and see a topic i get this error

Code Select Expand

Parse error: parse error in /home/unitedg/public_html/test/Sources/Display.php on line 663

Fatal error: Call to undefined function: display() in /home/unitedg/public_html/test/index.php on line 127


[Jedi~]

Could you give me your line 656 please?


EDIT: Should be something like this:

Code Select Expand

if ((in_array($username,$moderators) || $settings[7] == 'Administrator' || $settings[7] == 'Global Moderator' || ($username == "$topicinfo[posterName]" && $username != 'Guest' && $modSettings['enableUserTopicLocking'] == 1) ) AND ($muteuser[0] == 0)) {

[Lonestar]

Code Select Expand

<table border="0" width="100%" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0">

EOT;
  if ($modSettings['enableInlineLinks'])
    echo "<tr>\n    <td valign=\"bottom\">$displayLinkTree<br><br></td>\n </tr>";

  print <<<EOT
  <tr>
    <td align="left" colspan="2">
    <font size="2">
EOT;
   if(in_array($username,$moderators) || $settings[7] == 'Administrator' || $settings[7] == 'Global Moderator') {
      print <<<EOT

   <a href="javascript:DoConfirm('$txt[162]','$cgi;action=removethread2;threadid=$viewnum');"><img src="$imagesdir/admin_rem.gif" alt="$txt[63]" border="0"></a>
EOT;
   }
   if(in_array($username,$moderators) || $settings[7] == 'Administrator' || $settings[7] == 'Global Moderator' || ($username == "$topicinfo[posterName]" && $username != 'Guest' && $modSettings['enableUserTopicLocking'] == 1) ) {
      print (" <a href=\"$cgi;action=lock;threadid=$viewnum\"><img src=\"$imagesdir/admin_lock.gif\" alt=\"$txt[104]\" border=\"0\"></a>");
   }

   if ($modSettings['enableStickyTopics'] == '1' && (in_array($username,$moderators) || $settings[7] == 'Administrator' || $settings[7] == 'Global Moderator')) {
      print (" <a href=\"$cgi;action=sticky;threadid=$viewnum;sticky=$topicinfo[isSticky]\"><img src=\"$imagesdir/admin_sticky.gif\" border=\"0\"></a>");
      }
   print <<<EOT
    </font></td>
    <td align="right"><form action="$scripturl" method="GET">
    <font size="1">$txt[160]:</font>$selecthtml</form></td>
  </tr>
</table>

Ill redo the whole mod again tomorrow on my test board and try again, i must have missed something or added to much of something.  

[Jedi~]

Did you apply it manually?

Replace this line (in your code):

Code Select Expand

if(in_array($username,$moderators) || $settings[7] == 'Administrator' || $settings[7] == 'Global Moderator' || ($username == "$topicinfo[posterName]" && $username != 'Guest' && $modSettings['enableUserTopicLocking'] == 1) ) {
With this one:

Code Select Expand

if ((in_array($username,$moderators) || $settings[7] == 'Administrator' || $settings[7] == 'Global Moderator' || ($username == "$topicinfo[posterName]" && $username != 'Guest' && $modSettings['enableUserTopicLocking'] == 1) ) AND ($muteuser[0] == 0)) {

[Lonestar]

Yeah i applied it manually. Thats the only way i could figure to do it. I didnt know what you meant by boardmod so i opened the sucker up in wordpad read it and went from their.

[Lonestar]

Ok i see where i went wrong, i wasnt looking at the code hard enough (8 hours of computer work will do that to you).

So i went back and tried it again on the backups, and looked closer. I replaced a bit of code that neednt replacing and thought it was the right one. The one you told me to correct i never touched, i touched the one about 20 lines up that looked similar.

I tried it again and it works perfectly. Now for some kind of message that tells them there muted upon entering the forum and logging in. Ive tested it a hundred different ways and its pretty solid code, cant work around it any way that i know.

Thanks for your help, this code hoperfully wont be needed to be put to use, but if it does its a nice tool to have.

Thanks again
