Hello Snitzers.

I'm running 3.4.03 against SQL Server 2005.

Moderation is "turned on" at the forum, category and admin level. At the individual Forum level, moderation is set to "All Posts Moderated."

When a standard user posts a new topic, it is properly marked for moderation. However, all replies are allowed with no moderation requirement. This should not be the case.

I suspect the problem is due to some MODs in the forum, and I can back those changes out if need be to find the problem.

What I need is help finding the files and code lines that are responsible for "deciding" whether a reply should be moderated or not, and making that notation in the database.

I have looked up data in the database, and can find no replies that appear to be marked for moderation, so it looks like replies are not being properly processed by Snitz when they are posted.

Let me know if I need to clarify further, and thanks in advance for help<

Nothing to see here. Move along.

Are you logged in as a normal member or as an admin or moderator. An admin or moderator will see the replies regardless of whether they are moderated or not.<

what do you have the 'Moderation' set to on the forum ?

you can set it to All posts or just Original post, make sure you have it set to 'All Posts', try setting it to something else and then setting it back if it is already set to all posts.

also make sure you are a normal user when testing the code or it won't work for you as admins are not subjected to moderation


if as you suspect it is caused by a mod (almost certainly since the default code works as designed) then your first port of call should be to recheck your edits as there is no mod that I am aware of that would affect the moderation code at all.<

It is set to "All Posts Moderated"

I am doing my best to recheck the edits. However, since I did not make the edits (they were done by a third party who is no longer available), I'm seeking some guidance from the experienced snitzers here as to which files and general locations to look for as potential culprits.

As you know there is a great deal of code to sort through, and if someone can tell me that I need to confine the scope of my search to forum.asp, someotherfile.asp and yetanotherfile.asp, then it will save hours of comparing all files.

Thanks in advance<

The first thing I would do is to check post_info.asp against an un-modded post_info.asp

Can you post a link to a txt version of it ?

What is your forum url ?<

The actual production forum is in a secure area that will be inaccessible, but I can upload the production files to an alternate location.

I'll upload to http://www.pianomagic.com/tsforum/post_info.txt

Check in about 5 mins.

Thanks! (I'll continue searching that file as well)

a-ha!

Excellent pointer. I think I've found the problem. Looks like two separate mods were added, but not reconciled to each other. As a result there was some overlapping / redundant code and some poorly structured and/or statements.

I've made some adjustments and it appears to be working properly now.

Thanks so much for pointing me to the right file!<

I had a quick look through it and there's some code changes to the moderation sections because of the split topic mod. You should download it here and go through it to see if it has been applied correctly. If it has then there might be a bug in the mod.<

Thanks to both you and Huw for your help. Saved me tons of time tracing code!<
