Forcing Discussions to be Whispered

Mark

The discussion isn't passed as a delegate parameter in the GetDiscussionForm method, so you can't access it.

I've just added a delegate parameter to GetDiscussionForm so you can do it...

$this->DelegateParameters['Discussion'] = &$Discussion;

So, now your function should be something like:

function DiscussionForm_WhisperToMyself(&$DiscussionForm) { $d = &$DiscussionForm->DelegateParameters['Discussion']; $d->WhisperUsername = $DiscussionForm->Context->Session->User->Name; } $Context->AddToDelegate('DiscussionForm', 'DiscussionForm_PreRender', 'DiscussionForm_WhisperToMyself');

I've committed that delegate parameter to svn.

Cheers. I thought i must be missing something.

So one day I'm gonna get through an extension without referring back to mark for help... Is there actually a method at the moment to allow extensions to add permissions per role or just user preferences? I'm sure one of jazzmans extensions used one but I cant seem to find it.. Otherwise i'll just make my own way.

Yep and it is very simple:
$Context->Configuration['PERMISSION_WHATEVER'] = '0'; //Can't do it by default $Context->Dictionary['PERMISSION_WHATEVER'] = 'Can do it'; ... if ( $Context->Session->User->Permission("PERMISSION_WHATEVER") ) Do_It();

Minisweeper

Hmm. For some reason i get this: Fatal error: Call to a member function on a non-object in C:\Program Files\xampp\htdocs\Vanilla\extensions\ForcedWhispers\default.php on line 19 when trying to access that if statement. (i changed the values obviously). i cant work out why though - i must have the context object instansiated surely?

When all else fails... MARK! Mini. I really appreciate the time you are spening on this. It is a great help.

Minisweeper

It must be a *really* simple thing this time though. It's added the permission the roles fine. It just wont check it.

Dinoboff

what is in the line 19?

Dinoboff

Just a guest, if you have to add the "if.." inside the DiscussionForm_ForceWhisper fonction, it should look like this:if ( $DiscussionForm->Context->Session->User->Permission("PERMISSION_WHATEVER") ) Do_It();

Minisweeper

Cheers! Knew it'd be something like that but my usual guess at $this-> didnt work :D

Minisweeper

Right. I have it so that you can set each role with whether or not they can whisper to other people and it seems to be working fine. I'm just trying to make the whisper box disappear altogether if they dont have the ability but I'll have to keep kicking it for a while. Is there anything else it needs to do?

nathan

All I need it to do is have the users name filled in by default, so that, by default, all notes are private for them and them only.

Sorry nathan i read your post 2 days ago and glossed over it. Here you go: http://lussumo.com/community/discussion/3384/force-whispers/

Thanks mini. I won't be able to test it until this afternoon. I'll let you know how it handles.
