disable flood control for certain membergroups?!

Subj. This should be easy for gurus .

Thanks in advance!

This is the best I could do:
In sources/post.php

Look for:

Code Select Expand

   
if ($waction == 'preview')
      Preview();

   spam_protection();
Repalce it with:

Code Select Expand

   
if ($waction == 'preview')
      Preview();
if($settings[7] != 'Administrator' && $settings[7] != 'Global Moderator' && !in_array($username, $moderators)
   spam_protection();

This would VERY simply remove the flood control for admins/mods. To enable it for certain member groups. I think to have a special member group you would do something like

Code Select Expand


if ($waction == 'preview')
      Preview();
$request = mysql_query("SELECT memberGroup FROM {$db_prefix}members
      WHERE memberName=$username
      LIMIT 1") or database_error(__FILE__, __LINE__);
   list($membergroup) = mysql_fetch_row($request);
if($membergroup!="MEMBERGROUP")
spam_protection();

Where MEMBERGROUP is the name of the group to exclude for flood protection.

Note - none of this is tested etc and is off the top of my head. Also - the tabs will not work so don't try it in boardmod

Hope this helps
