Disable comments for user

[vid_88]

Hey everyone,

I've searched around but couldn't find anything.. so:

Is it possible to disable comments, but not for everyone, just for one user?

I know you can do this if you change their permissions, but I do everything via the user groups and just want to disable comments for one user for the entire gallery, not just particular sections. And I also don't want to make their own personal user group with comments disabled, it's too fiddly.

Anyone know of any mods?

Thanks,

viddy

Sorry.  No such mod exists and 4image just doesn't let you set permissions on a per-user basis.  Your only no-code alternative is to do what you described- create their own personal user group and then set permissions on that group to disallow comments.

and code-changed alternative would be replace in details.php:

Code: [Select]

  if ($config['bb_comments'] == 1 && $allow_posting) {with this:

Code: [Select]

  if ($config['bb_comments'] == 1 && $allow_posting && !in_array($user_info['user_id'], array(1,2,3,4))) {(replace 1,2,3,4 with the user IDs u dont want to allow posting)

I tried that.. just with the one user ID and it didn't work.. the user can still post comments..

Code: [Select]

if ($config['bb_comments'] == 1 && $allow_posting && !in_array($user_info['user_id'], array(15))) {

I've tried this as a solution for this problem, but it doesn't work. When I log in as that user I'm still able to post comments.

Anybody else have any idea how I can prohibit one specific user from posting comments?
