I got this error when trying to view a topic after installed AMR

Parse error: Parse error "&" in viewtopic.php 830

Code: Select all

if ( !$db->sql_query($sql) )
{
	message_die(GENERAL_ERROR, "Could not update topic views.", '', __LINE__, __FILE__, $sql);
}

// ----> LINE 830 <----
// Automatic Moderator Rank MOD
//

$sql = "SELECT u.user_id
	FROM " . AUTH_ACCESS_TABLE . " aa, " . USER_GROUP_TABLE . " ug, " . GROUPS_TABLE . " g, " . USERS_TABLE . " u
	WHERE aa.auth_mod = " . TRUE . "
                AND aa.forum_id = $forum_id
		AND ug.group_id = aa.group_id
		AND g.group_id = aa.group_id
		AND u.user_id = ug.user_id";
if ( !($result = $db-&sql_query($sql)) )
{
	message_die(GENERAL_ERROR, 'Could not query forum moderator information', '', __LINE__, __FILE__, $sql);
}
$forum_moderators = array();
while( $row = $db-&sql_fetchrow($result) )
{
	$forum_moderators[] = $row['user_id'];
}

//
// Okay, let's do the loop, yeah come on baby let's do the loop
// and it goes like this ...
//

Any suggestion ??

Hm... I don't know much of PHP, but you could try this... and blame me if it doesn't work for you...

Find this...

$db-&sql_query

change it to

$db->sql_query

Find this...

$db-&sql_fetchrow

change it to

$db->sql_fetchrow

Very good, much better than having mods have their ranks all over the place. However, is their a way of making global mods (in my case, moderators with a different usergroup, and thus rank img) have their default rank img in admin forums?

Basically, I have moderators, moderators with a special UG, and then admins. I want the "global" moderators to have their images in the forums, but only admins have them in the moderator-only boards. Get what I mean?

I'm assuming it would be something like: if board = ##, and unless rank = admin, use the regular img. Of course, thats obivously not any real prgm language.

Hi ...

I've got a minor mod to this very good mod.
I'm running a forum, with Danish and English language, and noticed that the rank had to be called Moderator, instead of the danish word for it,
in order for it to work.

So...I made a small change to the mod...

In the file viewtopic.php, where it says the following :

else if ( in_array($postrow[$i]['user_id'],$forum_moderators) )
{
$moderator_rank_name = "Moderator";

change that to :

else if ( in_array($postrow[$i]['user_id'],$forum_moderators) )
{
$moderator_rank_name = $lang ['Moderator'];

Of cause you have to have a rank by that name. E.g. in Danish the word for 'moderator' is 'redaktør'.
So you need a rank called 'Redaktør' and for it to work in english too...also one called 'Moderator'.

Now you can switch between the languages.. and show that word for moderator in the selected language.

UPDATE : Remember to go into the users profile and change the rank to "no special rank", else it wont work right (or at all).

I hope it can be to anyones use.

This mod won't work for me. I did it twice to make sure I'd followed the instructions exactly. Did each step, entered in the correct name for my moderator rank, uploaded the modified files.... No errors, it just doesn't work. Unless it only works on new posts the moderators make, and not ones posted prior to mod installation??

needshelp2 · Post by **needshelp2** » Sun Sep 28, 2003 9:15 pm

thats what id think.

since the posts are past, theyre like sigs, you should update the tables to reflect the new settings.

nota · Post by **nota** » Sun Sep 28, 2003 10:37 pm

They do change the old posts.

On mine, I had all my moderators under the rank "Moderator" or whatever. I had to go into their profiles and change them to "no special rank" in order for it to work.

What if I use different images for different moderators? Seems like it wouldn't work for that.
