Hi
Any pointers on the code change needed to restrict moderators to just adding polls to their own forums?
Using poll code last modified - May 26, 2001
TIA

in topic.asp change this:
<% ' ################ Poll Mod ###################
if (strUserPolls = "1") and (mlev = 4 or mlev = 3) then %>
<a href="post.asp?poll=1&method=Topic&FORUM_ID=<% =Request.QueryString("FORUM_ID") %>&CAT_ID=<% =Request.QueryString("CAT_ID") %>&Forum_Title=<% =ChkString(Request.QueryString("FORUM_Title"),"urlpath") %>"><img src="pin.gif" alt="Add Poll" border=0></a> <a href="post.asp?poll=1&method=Topic&FORUM_ID=<% =Request.QueryString("FORUM_ID") %>&CAT_ID=<% =Request.QueryString("CAT_ID") %>&Forum_Title=<% =ChkString(Request.QueryString("FORUM_Title"),"urlpath") %>">new poll</a><br>
<% end if
' ############################################
and in forum.asp change this:
<% ' #################### Poll Mod #####################
if (strUserPolls = "1") and (mlev = 4 or mlev = 3) then %>
<a href="post.asp?poll=1&method=Topic&FORUM_ID=<% =Request.QueryString("FORUM_ID")%>&CAT_ID=<% =Request.QueryString("CAT_ID")%>&Forum_Title=<% =ChkString(Request.QueryString("FORUM_Title"),"urlpath") %>"><img src="pin.gif" alt="Add Poll" border=0></a> <a href="post.asp?poll=1&method=Topic&FORUM_ID=<% =Request.QueryString("FORUM_ID")%>&CAT_ID=<% =Request.QueryString("CAT_ID")%>&Forum_Title=<% =ChkString(Request.QueryString("FORUM_Title"),"urlpath") %>">new poll</a>
<% end if
' ###################################################
the boolean OR should be AND

nope, incorrect statement... read the logic...
if (strUserPolls = "1") and (mlev = 4 or mlev = 3) then %>
means, if poll feature is ON and the user is a moderator or admin then display the option for creating polls. this means the poll feature has to be on AND the user must be an admin or moderator. now look at this logic...
if (strUserPolls = "1") or (mlev = 4 or mlev = 3) then %>
means, if poll feature is ON then disply option for creating polls or if user is moderator or admin display option for creating polls. this allows EVERYONE to create polls...

Yup, with you on the logic 
...but #1 When I made the changes anyone logged in can make polls....
...but #2 if I change
if (strUserPolls = "1") and (mlev = 4 or mlev = 3) then %>
to
if (strUserPolls = "1") and (AdminAllowed = 1) then %>
This only allows the Moderator of that forum to add new polls....

Ahh. Yes, the AdminAllowed variable should be used instead of the mLev. Because it checks the mLev at the begining of the file and stores that in the AdminAllowed variable.
Don't know why the mLev didn't work. But I will need to change that in files.
Make sure you make the same changes in the forum.asp file.

I didn't know you wanted to restrict moderators to creating polls in their own section so that is a better edit. As for this:
quote:

I don't see how that could happen. if (strUserPolls = "1") and (mlev = 4 or mlev = 3) then %> will only allow moderators and admins to create polls in ALL categories. I tested this and you should NOT see the link for New Poll for regular members. Am I misunderstanding what you are saying?
