disable guests from "reporting to moderator"

[charlottezweb]

is there a way to do this to keep guests from spamming the moderators?  I didn't see any direct options to disable this, but maybe i missed it

[Jeff Lewis]

I don't think it exists but you're right, it would be a great addition Perhaps suggest this in the MOD ideas board?

Add:

Code Select Expand

if ($username == "Guest")
   fatal_error($txt[223]);
To both ReportToModerator and ReportToModerator2 in Subs.php. Just after the global $variables part.

[charlottezweb]

Great!  I'll give it a shot tomorrow!

Thanks!

[charlottezweb]

When i did that,  i placed that snippet right after the global variables line (immediately beneath it after the close of the variables line) and all it did was make it impossible for guests to view the boards...it took me back immediately when i refreshed inside a thread to the main forum home page.  also, when i clicked on login, i get page cannot be displayed...

Can you post the code and highlight the part you added for either one of those functions I mentioned?

[charlottezweb]

sure this is where I have it...the board won't work at all this way...i get the following:

Fatal error: Call to undefined function: url_parts() in /home/xxxxx/public_html/yabbse/Sources/Load.php on line 47

here's the code where I added yours...is it not in the right place?

function ReportToModerator() {
   global $txt,$color,$cgi,$thread,$board,$id,$subject,$poster,$username;

if ($username == "Guest")
   fatal_error($txt[223]);

   template_header();
    $rname=LoadRealName($username);

and then...

function ReportToModerator2() {

   global $txt,$cgi,$db_prefix,$thread,$board,$id,$subject,$poster,$yySetLocation,$comment,$reporter;

if ($username == "Guest")
   fatal_error($txt[223]);

   // first, we create the message...

This is on a 1.5.1 board, btw.

There is no 1.5.1, newbie. Only 1.5 is released...

[charlottezweb]

ooops...sorry that a typo makes me a newbie

You forgot to addd $username to this line:

global $txt,$cgi,$db_prefix,$thread,$board,$id,$subject,$poster,$yySetLocation,$comment,$reporter;

Change to:

global $txt,$cgi,$db_prefix,$thread,$board,$id,$subject,$poster,$yySetLocation,$comment,$reporter, $username;

[charlottezweb]

ah, that sounds like the solution.  Good call...

I'll try that.

thanks!

[charlottezweb]

That didn't do it either...not sure of the problem, but it's not a big deal...maybe i'll suggest that as a mod sometime

The site still doesn't appear with the above changes...

Any error messages this time?

[charlottezweb]

same as before...if i upload that edited subs file, and leave everything else the same, and try to load my site i get a blank white page with

Fatal error: Call to undefined function: url_parts() in /home/xxxxx/public_html/yabbse/Sources/Load.php on line 47

Try adding it to just the ReportToModerator() function then. I did just did it and worked fine using the same code you have.
