Allow only Administrators to delete a topic

@TheCrow I pasted the code as written, but the moderator can still delete topics. https://help.forumotion.com/t155267-allow-only-administrators-to-delete-a-topic

This doesnt work in my forum, too! Please Fix it

hello

you have to be patient when TheCrow log in he will see the post

I have not done a double post.

psp
I marked him because he is the author of the topic. Anyone who knows what the problem is can help.

Hi


Can you post there the code you placed in your javascript management ?

});

please do not hijack another member's post
the topic starter smurfavr must post his code (even if the code is the same as yours )

Code:

$('a img[alt="Delete this topic"]')

I do not know any word of bulgarian but i know that "Delete this topic" doesn't sound bulgarian at all.

Please read again the tutorial !

@Neptune-
This is the code and the words are translated correctly in Bulgarian.

Code:

// A code by ️TheCrow (2018) for Forumotion. Please do not remove these comments :
// http://help.forumotion.com/t155267-allow-only-administrators-to-delete-a-topic#1067499
$(document).ready(function () {
  if (!(_userdata.user_level == 1)) {
    $('a[href*="modcp?mode=delete"]').removeAttr('href').css("cursor","not-allowed");
    $('a img[alt="Изтрийте тази тема"]').attr("title","Само администраторите могат да изтрият тема"); // For Mod-Tools deletion of the entire topic
    $('ul.profile-icons a[href*="mode=delete"]').removeAttr('href').attr('style','cursor:not-allowed!important');
    $('img.i_icon_delete').attr("title","Само администраторите могат да изтриват съобщения").css("cursor","not-allowed"); // For Messages
  }
});

I just tried your script after i switched my profile to bulgarian.

On hovering the "delete topic" icon, the cursor changed and the link was removed. Same for the "delete post" inside each post.

Script is working as it should.
Any conflict with other scripts ?
Maybe you should try to place it only on topics (rather than all pages like said in tutorial) !

---

Edit : Lot of strings still in english once i chose bulgarian on my profile (toolbar for example)

---

Edit 2 :
In fact, even without translating the correct alt, it works. No way to delete the topic. With no translation the button will still display "Delete this topic" but button is no more clickable.

---

Edit 3 :

The code in the tutorial is suitable for phpBB3.

For phpBB2 you should use the following one

Code:

// A code by ️TheCrow (2018) for Forumotion. Please do not remove these comments :
        // http://help.forumotion.com/t155267-allow-only-administrators-to-delete-a-topic#1067499
        $(document).ready(function () {
          if (!(_userdata.user_level == 1)) {
            $('a[href*="modcp?mode=delete"]').removeAttr('href').css("cursor","not-allowed");
            $('a img[alt="Delete this topic"]').attr("title","Only Administrators are allowed to delete a topic"); // For Mod-Tools deletion of the entire topic
            $('td.post-options a[href*="mode=delete"]').removeAttr('href').attr('style','cursor:not-allowed!important');
            $('img.i_icon_delete').attr("title","Only Administrators are allowed to delete messages").css("cursor","not-allowed"); // For Messages
          }
        });

@Neptune-
After your code revision, it now works and the delete button cannot be used by a moderator.
There is another problem from the drop down menu there is an option to delete a post and from there still a moderator can delete a post.
I noted In the topics

Up

Hello @smurfavr,

First of all, I am deeply sorry for not getting to you sooner on this matter.
So just to be clear, your forum version is #phpbb2 right?

Regards,
TC.

@TheCrow Yes phpbb2

Hello again,

I need the url link of the page where you click yes/no and a screenshot if you can where you press right click (on the yes button) > inspect element.

Regards,
TC.

Link to test topic.
https://smurfa.bulgarianforum.net/t6230-topic#16663

Okay,

So after the 4th line of your code, after this:

Code: if (!(_userdata.user_level == 1)) {

press enter and paste this part:

Code:

if (/modcp?mode=delete/.test(window.location.href)) {
  $('input.mainoption[name="confirm"]').remove();
  $('<span style="display:block;text-align:center;color:red;font-weight:700;font-size:16px">Sorry but only Administrators are allowed to delete topics.</span>').insertAfter('input.liteoption[name="cancel"]');
}

This should give you this result after you select the delete option from the dropdown:


Regards,
TC.

Is that how the code should look?

Code:

// A code by ️TheCrow (2018) for Forumotion. Please do not remove these comments :
        // http://help.forumotion.com/t155267-allow-only-administrators-to-delete-a-topic#1067499
        $(document).ready(function () {
          if (!(_userdata.user_level == 1)) {
            if (/modcp?mode=delete/.test(window.location.href)) {
  $('input.mainoption[name="confirm"]').remove();
  $('<span style="display:block;text-align:center;color:red;font-weight:700;font-size:16px">Sorry but only Administrators are allowed to delete topics.</span>').insertAfter('input.liteoption[name="cancel"]');
}
            $('a[href*="modcp?mode=delete"]').removeAttr('href').css("cursor","not-allowed");
            $('a img[alt="Delete this topic"]').attr("title","Only Administrators are allowed to delete a topic"); // For Mod-Tools deletion of the entire topic
            $('td.post-options a[href*="mode=delete"]').removeAttr('href').attr('style','cursor:not-allowed!important');
            $('img.i_icon_delete').attr("title","Only Administrators are allowed to delete messages").css("cursor","not-allowed"); // For Messages
          }
        });

I tried, but still a moderator can delete a post from the drop down.

Hello @smurfavr,

Yes, like that. Sorry, I forgot to remove the href correctly. Please replace the above code I sent you with this one:

Code:

if (/mode=delete/.test(window.location.href)) {
  $('input.mainoption').remove();
  $('<span style="display:block;text-align:center;color:red;font-weight:700;font-size:16px">Sorry but only Administrators are allowed to delete topics.</span>').insertAfter('input.liteoption');
}

This should fix your problem. Plus, you can change the text

Code: Sorry but only Administrators are allowed to delete topics.

to anything you like.

Regards,
TC.

@TheCrow I pasted the code but no change.

Code:

// A code by :copyright:️TheCrow (2018) for Forumotion. Please do not remove these comments :
        // http://help.forumotion.com/t155267-allow-only-administrators-to-delete-a-topic#1067499
        $(document).ready(function () {
          if (!(_userdata.user_level == 1)) {
            if (/mode=delete/.test(window.location.href)) {
  $('input.mainoption').remove();
  $('<span style="display:block;text-align:center;color:red;font-weight:700;font-size:16px">Sorry but only Administrators are allowed to delete topics.</span>').insertAfter('input.liteoption');
}
            $('a[href*="modcp?mode=delete"]').removeAttr('href').css("cursor","not-allowed");
            $('a img[alt="Delete this topic"]').attr("title","Only Administrators are allowed to delete a topic"); // For Mod-Tools deletion of the entire topic
            $('td.post-options a[href*="mode=delete"]').removeAttr('href').attr('style','cursor:not-allowed!important');
            $('img.i_icon_delete').attr("title","Only Administrators are allowed to delete messages").css("cursor","not-allowed"); // For Messages
          }
        });

This happens only to Moderators. Not to Administrators.

This works fine to #phpbb2 version forum.

Yes I am logged in with a moderator profile and the drop down menu still works as a moderator.



The code does not work on my forum.
The code doesn't work on my test forum either.


It would be best if you can hide the moderator rank drop-down menu.

@smurfavr,

Have you cleared your browser cache?

To my test forum which is #phpbb2 works just fine.


If this is not working to you, please send me via PM the username and password of a test account with moderator rights to your test forum to give it a look and let you know my result.

Regards,
TC.

Yes, clear the browser cache.

I wrote, you ls.

@smurfavr,

Can you please post the exact code you are using?

Regards,
TC.

Hello,

Do you have any other javascript that may interfere with this javascript?

I have a total of 20 Java scripts but I don't know if any of them interfere.

PSP
In my test forum I stopped all the java script and left only your code but it still doesn't work.

Can it interfere with some of the CSS code?

Hello again @smurfavr,

Please try and replace your code with this one:

        // http://help.forumotion.com/t155267-allow-only-administrators-to-delete-a-topic#1067499
        $(document).ready(function () {
          if (!(_userdata.user_level == 1)) {
            $(function(){
              if (/mode=delete/.test(window.location.href)) {
                $('input.mainoption').remove();
                $('<span style="display:block;text-align:center;color:red;font-weight:700;font-size:16px">Sorry but only Administrators are allowed to delete topics.</span>').insertAfter('input.liteoption');
              }
            });
            $('a[href*="modcp?mode=delete"]').removeAttr('href').css("cursor","not-allowed");
            $('a img[alt="Delete this topic"]').attr("title","Only Administrators are allowed to delete a topic"); // For Mod-Tools deletion of the entire topic
            $('td.post-options a[href*="mode=delete"]').removeAttr('href').attr('style','cursor:not-allowed!important');
            $('img.i_icon_delete').attr("title","Only Administrators are allowed to delete messages").css("cursor","not-allowed"); // For Messages
          }
        });

What I did, is that I inserted a function just to make sure it reaches the url stage for this. Please try it and let me know.

Regards,
TC.
