With my other post on how to only allow moderators and admins to use the reply with quote function, I was wondering if I could do the same with images. The reply with quote alteration was pretty simple, would it be just as simple with the images?
I'd like to only allow moderators and admins to be able to post images. However, I can't find where this code is. It doesn't seem to appear in the topic.asp file. Where would I look?
Would it be as simple as adding the parts below in green around the correct section of code?
If mlev >= 3 then
Section of code here
End If
Thanks.

| I know I know where to put the check, but I've been having some "memory issues" of the sort that an extra stick of RAM can't help.... Lemme dig through the code and see what I can come up with.< |

Around line 1165 in inc_func_common.asp is a function called 'ReplaceImageTags(fString)'. If I'm reading this right, this is the function that replaces [img] with the image.
You could probably add an If mLev > 3 Then .. to the end so that if they can post images, it returns the properly formatted string, and if not it returns the original string.
Its a start...< |

That wouldn't work as ReplaceImageTags() is called by the FormatStr() function which a post is passed through when it is pulled from the database, not inserted. Using the above method would mean that only moderators and admins would see images posted by any member of your forums.

It'd be tricky, you'd have to pass the member level of the poster down through FormatStr() to ReplaceImageTags().

Actually, you'd only need to pass it through to FormatStr and then use it to check whether or not to call ReplaceImageTags. Problem is, FormatStr is used elsewhere besides topic.asp.

| Ah. I wonder if it would be worth adding a boolean field for allowing images... that way you could be more particular in where images are allowed and where they are not... or do you think it would be more work than it would be worth?< |

I wouldn't say there's a need for a field (I assume you mean database field), Anon, unless you want to make it an admin option. Although, you could use an additional boolean argument when calling the FormatStr function which would specify whether or not to call ReplaceImageTags. Would be easier, in the long run, than passing M_LEVEL.
Other files where FormatStr is used, off the top of my head: pop_preview, pop_previe_sig, pop_profile, default, default_group, pop_printer_friendly.

I was thinking more along the lines of an extra argument passed along in the call...
FormatStr([...normalArgs...],blnAllowImages)
And then check if blnAllowImages is true or not to allow images. It would be more work up front, but it would ultimately make the function more flexible by giving more control over where images are allowed and where they aren't.< |
