Hi,
we are using Snitz here at the Open Universiteit Nederland. One issue that we study is group communication (flaming, disinhibited behavior and so on). Is there a possibility preventing even the owners of the messages to delete or to edit their messages. We, namely, have to log all messages.

You need to edit some code to do that. I'm just guessing, because I haven't tried it, but you may try to change the chkUser function in inc_common.asp, so that it will never return the value 2. Change it so that when it now returns 2, it will return 1 after your change.
I don't know whether this is enough, but you can always try and let me know. |

File inc_func_common.asp
Find the following statements around Lines 900-901
if (rsCheck("MEMBER_ID") & "" = fAuthor & "") and (cLng(rsCheck("M_LEVEL")) <> 3) then
chkUser = 1 '## Author
Modify as below
if (rsCheck("MEMBER_ID") & "" = fAuthor & "") and (cLng(rsCheck("M_LEVEL")) <> 3) then
chkUser = 2 '## Author
Ruirib,
mLev = 1 is for Author (Edit/delete Priveleges for own Posts)
mLev = 2 is Normal User (No Edit/delete priveleges)

Gaurav,
Hmmm... Funny thing. I was convinced it was the other way around, and I'm almost positive I had seen this somewhere.
For this version you seem indeed to be right. Don't know where I found that, but I have posted about this several times... |

Yeah, just checked that on 3.3.05. I don't know how I got a different idea...
Anyway, just changing the value returned by chkUser won't do it. The mlev value is not checked to enable the icon that allows post editing. Instead a comparison is made between the current MemberID and the Id of the topic or reply author.
I guess it will mean a lot more code changes to all the pages where the edit icon is shown (active.asp, topic.asp, forum.asp) and even to post.asp. A lotta changes indeed...

That is design error. IMO that should be corrected.
Anyway, Following statements in pop_delete.asp also need to be changed
chkUser5 = 1 '## Author
chkUser3 = 1 '## Author
As below
chkUser5 = 2 '## Author
chkUser3 = 2 '## Author
This will prevent deletion of posts by authors.

Doing this will still allow moderators to edit/delete, correct?
I am wondering if it is possible to allow the privledge by user ID. In other words, after a user has "proven" themselves a responsible member of the forum, allowing them to edit/delete their own posts. Up to that point - to be determined by the Admin - they can't.
Is that a plausible function? |

The way I changed it, moderators can still edit/delete (I think  ). |

| Yes it is possible. Look at my earlier post. I have not tested it but should work. |

| As far as I can tell it completely denies you editing AND deleting from a regular account. I just wish they could still edit. Thanks though! |

OK, test this out but I think it's all I did to retain the edit privilege for normal members, but NOT have delete privilege.
Changes are made ONLY to pop_delete.asp
approx. Line 728:
Response.Write("Only the Author, Moderators and Administrators can delete Replies.")
change to
Response.Write("Only Moderators and Administrators can delete Replies.")
approx .Line 800
if cLng(rsCheck("MEMBER_ID")) = cLng(rsCheck("T_AUTHOR")) and cLng(rsCheck("T_REPLIES")) < 1 then
chkUser5 = 1 '## Author
else
change to
if cLng(rsCheck("MEMBER_ID")) = cLng(rsCheck("T_AUTHOR")) and cLng(rsCheck("T_REPLIES")) < 1 then
chkUser5 = 2 '## Author
else
approx. Line 838
if cLng(rsCheck("MEMBER_ID")) = cLng(rsCheck("R_AUTHOR")) then
chkUser3 = 1 '## Author
else
change to
if cLng(rsCheck("MEMBER_ID")) = cLng(rsCheck("R_AUTHOR")) then
chkUser3 = 2 '## Author
else
I think that is all that is needed  |

GauravBhabu: your suggestions dont work at all (version 3.4.03)
laser: that does work, tho it still shows the delete icons in forum and topic.asp ! |

| You're right Gareth, my aim was just to remove the privilege. I wanted the icons left there for the moderators and admin and I didn't bother figuring out how to remove them for normal members. |
