Hi there,

I would like to disable the submit news link in the main menu for users who are not admins. Currently it shows for all registered users. Ideally I would like the link to be gone completely and not just having the link not work..

To remove it completely go to

modules/news/

open xoops_version.php and take out these two lines:

$modversion['sub'][1]['name'] = _MI_NEWS_SMNAME1;
$modversion['sub'][1]['url'] = "submit.php";

Case 1: Submenus for admins only.

Quote:

global $xoopsUser;
if ( $xoopsUser ) {
$newsModule = XoopsModule::getByDirname("news");
if ( $xoopsUser->isAdmin($newsModule->mid()) ) {
$modversion['sub'][1]['name'] = _MI_NEWS_SMNAME1;
$modversion['sub'][1]['url'] = "submit.php";
}
}


Case 2: Submenus for specified groups.

Quote:

global $xoopsUser;
if(!empty($xoopsUser)) {
$group = $xoopsUser->getGroups();
if (in_array(1, $group)) { //or other group-IDs
$modversion['sub'][1]['name'] = _MI_NEWS_SMNAME1;
$modversion['sub'][1]['url'] = "submit.php";
}
}

After removing those lines, you will have to update the module from system admon/modules for this to be updated.

As I have stated previous, all XOOPS modules will have a feature where they can choose which groups can or cannot submit.

Hope that helps

Curious, where would you place this? I mean which file and does it matter where it is placed.


Thanks

Thanks everyone for this code

You need to insert this code into the xoops_version.php file for the module you wish to set the submenu for.

Regards,
