UBB.Developers Forums UBB.threads 7 Development How Do I? IP = Admin only

I posed the following question at IP:

Is there a way of preventing Mods from viewing IPs and restricting them to Admin only (6.3.0)

Graeme responded:

Hint: ubb_get_topic.cgi, sub get_ip - search for the call to is_admin_or_mod

Sadly, my skills being what they are, I need a little more info - my "guess" was:

should I turn is_admin_or_mod into is_admin ?

but obviously IP can't take me any further . .

Any ideas here?

Thanks a lot

Open ubb_lib.cgi find:

sub is_admin_or_mod

above that add:

Thank you Greg - I'll give a try

I've always wanted my mods to not snoop around the IP's. Might try this out.

Sorry Greg,

Could you take another look at the above code please, now (as the admin) when I click the "ip-logged" link, I get the error message about only admins (took out mods in wordlets) are allowed to perform this function.

Thanks a lot

Can you just paste the error here?

It's not really an error, it's standard issue out of the error message wordlets:"not_admin_or_mod "

It means that since I applied the mod, for the purpose of viewing IPs (against each post) - the system doesn't recognise me as an admin.

All other admin functions are OK.

I believe there's a minor glitch in Greg's code.

Try this instead:

[code][/code]This is similar to what I've been using at some BBS I administrate, hasn't failed me yet. :rolleyes:

Yayyyy - go Idle - thanks for that

Now that I have admin only on the IPs and your advanced IP logging working like a charm, my people "problem" has gone away.

I'm not sure - but did you update the MH as yet? - I d/l a fresh copy but had to delete the public_display_profile.pl hack and use your text fix [ here ]to prevent mods from viewing the bonus info.

Anyway thanks again

No problem.

No, I haven't updated the MultiHack files, and I'm afraid that I won't update them again.

So far I've found MultiHack to be too unreliable for already modified UBBs,
beside the annoying fact I don't have time to maintain both the text files and MHP files.

wicked, thanks alot. EXACTLY what i was looking for.
