Edit/ delete shoutbox posts

[rickasawr]

yeah, i dont really like going to my MySQL database to edit/ delete shoutbox comments, so maybe make a script to edit/ delete shoutbox posts?

I would love you forever.

Alright. In the shoutbox php, just after the start script paste this:

$act = $_GET['act'];
if($act == 'delete'){
	// Delete the one shout.
	$group = getgroup();
	if($group == 1 || $group == 2){
		$id = $_GET['id'];
		runquery("DELETE FROM ".$prefix."shoutbox WHERE id='$id'");
		$result = 'Shout was deleted.<br><br>';
	}
}

Then replace the ENTIRE while loop(it's the only one on the page) with this:

while ($i < $num) {
    $id=@mysql_result($result,$i,"id");
    $user=@mysql_result($result,$i,"user");
    $date=@mysql_result($result,$i,"date");
    $nolinecomment=@mysql_result($result,$i,"comment");
    $nolinecomment = bbconvert($nolinecomment);
    $comment=nl2br($nolinecomment);
	$group = getgroup();
	if($group == 1 || $group == 2){
		$mod_shoutbox = '<br><a href="shoutbox.php?act=delete&id='.$id.'">Delete</a>';
	}
    $commentdiv = "<div class='comment' style='width:94%;padding:2%;background-color:aliceblue;margin-bottom:5px;'><div class='userdate' style='width:50%;height:25px;color:red;'>".$user." - ".$date."</div>".$comment.$mod_shoutbox"</div>";
	$article_content = $article_content.$commentdiv;
    $i++;
}

while to } (end bracket).

That should do it for ya. Let me know if there's any issues.

Well actually, the shoutbox will undergo a completely redesign in Mys v1.3.0... Anyway nice solution to this problem, Kaeliah.

lol i was gonna suggest the sql upon reading the topic glad kaeliah could come up with an nice fix. And i can't wait for Mys v1.3.0 the security issues will be fixed right?

Yes, that is priority one for 1.3.0. It will also be much more efficient with some random stupid codes being removed.
