User Ban Not Working?
I ran a simple test whereby I, the moderator, banned a fake user (me). I then checked the ban list and it said there was nobody banned. I also logged in as the fake user and was able to post. Is anyone else having problems with banning users in 1.1.8?

The user ban list is for IP addresses, not usernames. If you want to ban a user by name, just disable his account.

With 1.1.8 the moderator can ban a user or an IP. There is a link "Ban: User | IP" below a user's name in their post. I tried both and neither work.

Thanx Hoefti. The function disable_user work fine in my forum too. But that is a administrator feature, and i dont wish give to a moderator that property. I trusted in the forum ban feature, as a action that allow to a moderator to ban a user only from their forum, and leave the user available for other forums.


The point exposed by Eric P, force to me to review all the ban system in my forums, and that is serious to me Pirate.

As I've mentioned before, I'm a template moron. Is there someplace in particular within the code that it should be placed?

Thanks

Hello

in the file include_post_display.html
is an chapter:
Code:
<%-- Moderator/Administrator functionality --%>
Moderatorbanning: put
Code:
<a href="gforum.cgi?do=forum_ban_write;forum=<%forum_id%>;ban_type=user_id_fk;ban_value=<%user_id%>;ban_username=<%escape_url post_username%>;<%hidden_query%>">disable</a>
after this

Administratorbanning put:
Code:
<a href="gforum.cgi?do=disable_user;redo=<%this_do%>;post=<%post_id%>;so=<%so%>;sb=<%sb%>;user_id=<%user_id%>;<%hidden_query%>">disable!</a>

after
Code:
<% if current_user_status = 3%>

Only an Administrator is current_user_status = 3

This function works great on my Forum for Moderators and Administator too.

i hope i can help you

Hi hoefti. First at all, i apreciate a lot you interest in helping.

I had a check in my templates (default & default_top) and is right with your comments, but the USER BAN function still is not working Pirate. Is strange... all see fine, but simply the BAN LIST is always clean (the user never is added)

However is good to know that this is working fine for other GT forum user, so we are not so far to fin a fix for this problem. Perhaps a GT staff member can give us some help?

Hello webconferencia

Its ok.
In my Forum the function works.
If a moderator ban an user the User can go in every Forum outer the Forum he ist banned.
This Forum looks like a privat Forum its shows on the overview but he can`t get in.

I hope someone can help you

I wish you a great Weekend

It's wrong Boomer.

I edit your template, and eliminate the code as you add beacuse this was placed in a wrong line, so all the users (registered or not) can see the function disable.

As i can see, your template should be work fine without modifications, then i think if user ban function is not working for you too, it should be for a problem unaware to the template. I have attached your template corrected. As i think, you dont need modificate the template to use the ban user and other moderator and administrator functions. This should be work, and i dont understand why it doesn't work .
