Direct link to ban people from a post

[agent00shoe]

I noticed this in mcp_ban.php

Code: Select all

		// As a "service" we will check if any post id is specified and populate the username of the poster id if given
		$post_id = request_var('p', 0);
		$user_id = request_var('u', 0);
		$username = false;

		if ($user_id && $user_id <> ANONYMOUS)
		{
			$sql = 'SELECT username
				FROM ' . USERS_TABLE . '
				WHERE user_id = ' . $user_id;
			$result = $db->sql_query($sql);
			$username = (string) $db->sql_fetchfield('username');
			$db->sql_freeresult($result);
		}
		else if ($post_id)
		{
			$post_info = get_post_data($post_id, 'm_ban');

			if (sizeof($post_info) && !empty($post_info[$post_id]))
			{
				$username = $post_info[$post_id]['username'];
			}
		}

Is there going to be a ban button in profiles and posts? Or was this thrown in to make life easier for modders?

There is a ban button on all users posts (except your own )
But currently, there is none on the profiles page, but it might be there as an option for template designers.

Ah, I've been testing the board out with one account so I didn't see that. With banning made so easy, I'm almost looking forward to spammers now.

There should also (eventually) be a feature for topic starters (admin configurable via ACP) to make people not be able to post reply in their topic (Gaia Online has this feature for topic starters apparently, but I don't know how to use it.)

That's something completely different.
We are talking about Bans... not preventing people from posting to topics.

Where is the ban button in posts? I see Report, Post Details, Warn & Delete.

There is no Ban button there... there are only those 4.
If you warn the user enough times, (to what you have it set in the ACP) it does ban them.

That's what I thought.

Highway, where is this magical button you speak of?

Hang on, where is that setting?
