Adopts News

[Saphira]

Hmm. I'm trying to edit site_news.php so that the people who can post news are the user groups editors and admins. This is what I've been playing with:

PHP Code:

if($isLoggedin == "yes" and $cancp == "yes"){ 


I've been trying to add somewhere:

PHP Code:

if($group == "editor") 


because I figure that will allow the editor usergroup to post, as well as admins. Though I've had no luck. I've also tried:

PHP Code:

if($isLoggedin == "yes" and $group == "editors" $cancp == "yes"){ 


But then I realised that the original line is checking that the user is logged in, and that their group can access the admin CP. It's all part of one function. That's what lead me to thinking if($group == "editor") might work, because it's a separate one. Though I've been having trouble fitting it in and getting it to work properly. :3

If you just want to have only admins and news editors edit the page, do this:

PHP Code:

if($isloggedin == "yes"){

$mygroup = getgroup();

if($cancp == "yes" or $mygroup = 5){

// Do your stuff here

}

} 


In this line:

PHP Code:

if($cancp == "yes" or $mygroup = 5){ 


Change 5 to the numerical ID of the group you want to have access to the page. This will allow all users who can access the ACP as well as members of this group to access the page. :)

I had to change that a lil' bit, but I got it to work. :D

Finished code:

PHP Code:

$article_content = "".$msg."<br>".$article_content."";


$group = getgroup();

$cancp = cancp($group);


if($isloggedin == "yes"){

$mygroup = getgroup();

if($cancp == "yes" or $mygroup == 6){


$add = "<a href='create_news.php'>Add News</a>";

}

else{

$add = "";

}

} 


Can someone pls confirm that I haven't just messed something up big time here? XD; (if you do I'll kill you for ruining my moment of elated-ness! =P)

Oh no, not this forum too >.<

I know what forum you're referring to, but I was referring to Zelda. =P

The Triforce (トライフォース, Toraif�su?) is a triangular relic which features throughout the series as a nearly-omnipotent sacred item representing the essences of the Golden Goddesses. It is made up of three smaller triangles known as the Triforce of Wisdom, Triforce of Power and Triforce of Courage. Each of these embody the essence of their respective goddess, and bestow certain boons on their bearers. As shown in The Legend of Zelda and The Wind Waker, each piece can be further subdivided, though they become powerless in this state.

IDIDITIDIDITIDIDIT!

PHP Code:

// Find highest answer number.
$query = "SELECT MAX(nid) AS Max_nid FROM ".$prefix."news";
$result = mysql_query($query);

    $Max_nid=@mysql_result($result,"Max_nid");

// add + 1 to highest answer number and keep it in variable name "$Max_id". if there no answer yet set it = 1
if ($result) {
$Max_idd = $Max_nid+1;
}
else {
$Max_idd = 1;
}


$topic = $_POST['topic'];
$topic = secure($topic);
$detail = $_POST['detail'];
$deatil = secure($detail);
$name = $_POST['name'];
$name = secure($name);
$datetime = date('d/m/y h:i:s');
$datetime = secure($datetime); //create date time

$topic = addslashes($topic);
$detail = addslashes($detail);

    $query = "INSERT INTO ".$prefix."news(topic, detail, name, nid, datetime) VALUES('".$topic."', '".$detail."', '".$name."', '".$Max_idd."', '".$datetime."')";
    $result = mysql_query($query); 


I'm like, so happy right now. :P I was getting sick of writing "I'm testing using apostrophes." lol.

But wai- Are you a man? I just guessed by the name but... I might be wrong? Congratz, for solving this anyway.

I am male. Saphira is the name of my favourite fictional character of all time. She's the beautiful dragon from Eragon/Eldest/Brisingr. =P
