Limiting Link Submissions

Posted: Wed Jan 03, 2007 11:47 pm

I am wondering if there is a way to limit link submissions to members only. Getting a little tired of deleting those "Viagra" links

Assuming you made the changes to modules/Web_Links/index.php to provide the necessary protection, you should be able to configure $links_anonaddlinklock in modules/Web_Links/lconfig.php

Here's the simple fix for the protection

Code:




FIND








function Add($title, $url, $auth_name, $cat, $description, $email) {


   global $prefix, $db, $user;





REPLACE WITH





function Add($title, $url, $auth_name, $cat, $description, $email) {


   global $prefix, $db, $user, $links_anonaddlinklock;


   if (!is_user($user) AND $links_anonaddlinklock != 1) die();

What changes to "modules/Web_Links/index.php?

Also I went and looked in the Iconfig file and found a way to set it to lock out unregistered:

Code:

$links_anonaddlinklock:      Lock Unregistered users from Suggesting New Links? (0=Yes 1=No)

Would that do the same?

Tizwit, you definitely need to set the values in l_config.php, but what Evaders is referring to is that even with those set, there is still a "backdoor" way of getting around it. He is presenting the fix for that.

ah Ok I understand. Thank you

I will try to put that fix into place on my next day off.

Thank you Evaders and Montego
