Admin Restrictions

[Da Undead]

My other admin can't Purge the Cache, why is that?
He has all the other resetting abilities but the ability to Purge Cache. I want him to have the ability to do it because we use it for our phpBB3 Portal Mod. And I don't want him to have access to change my access. Any idea on what to do?

Only "Founder" flagged admins can purge.
You would need to mod your board to allow your other admin the purge function without the ability to edit your account

Ok thankyou. Think you can guide me on how to do that?

Moved from the 3.0.x Support Forums

Ok thankyou. Think you can guide me on how to do that?

Open ./includes/acp/acp_main.php

Find (line 266)

Code: Select all

				if ((int) $user->data['user_type'] !== USER_FOUNDER)
						{
							trigger_error($user->lang['NO_AUTH_OPERATION'] . adm_back_link($this->u_action), E_USER_WARNING);
						}

Delete the above

If you dont want to delete it entirely just ad /* before if and */ after }

then open ./adm/style/acp_main.html

Find (line 130)

Code: Select all

			<!-- IF S_FOUNDER -->
			<form id="action_purge_cache_form" method="post" action="{U_ACTION}">
				<dl>
					<dt><label for="action_purge_cache">{L_PURGE_CACHE}</label><br /><span>{L_PURGE_CACHE_EXPLAIN}</span></dt>
					<dd><input type="hidden" name="action" value="purge_cache" /><input class="button2" type="submit" id="action_purge_cache" name="action_purge_cache" value="{L_RUN}" /></dd>
				</dl>
			</form>
			<!-- ENDIF -->

Remove

Code: Select all

<!-- IF S_FOUNDER -->

and

Code: Select all

<!-- ENDIF -->

And Job done


oh and ironically youll probably need to purge the cache afterwards for the button to show

[Da Undead]

Alright thankyou for your support.

Btw, why was this moved? It was an 3.x.x support question..

No problem at all

im guessing Marshalrusty was still half asleep because it should be in 3.0 mod requests not 2.0

[smackall]

ah, Thanks a lot. I was searching for this code.

Gah, sleepless nights are indeed the cause. Sorry guys.

Moving to the right place...
