Disable deletion of yourself

[ShadowStriker]

Im member #1, but I have a spy that I use on the forum and act like a regular member, just to see ways people act and stuff. How would I make both undeleteable?

[EDIT]

Removed all the code from here.  I have packaged this as a mod now and should be available shortly (once approved) here at SMF as "Admin Deletion Protect" mod.

In the interim, if you want this right away, you can find it at my TP Blocks [nofollow] site available for download.  Downloading requires registration however.

This works great, thanks!

It's no longer working with SMF 1.1.1 though 

[Shadow Queen]

I can't found the code what i am looking for in the file.  I am running with 1.1.1 with TP.

I would also like to make use of this code edit.

SMF 1.1.2 w/Tiny Portal 0.9.7.1

[Skipdawg]

Yes would be nice to have this updated for 1.1.2 
Would be nicer to have this as a fixed option of enable or disabled in SMF Admin panel 

[Thurnok]

I updated the hack.  You can find a working version, including the fix for the Profile page to prevent removing from the Admin group, at my TP Blocks site [nofollow].  The post is located here [nofollow] and is accessable to guests as well.

It appears that guest access is not available, when I clicked the link it presents me with a registration box.

Sorry, caught me in the middle of moving my site as well.  Try going to the new site (updated in my original post) and you should now be able to access it.

I've packaged this up as a Mod and it has now been submitted to SMF, just waiting approval.

[DrDom]

I applied the mods from your site on may 1st, it works very well indeed.
But pleased to see you have made a package.

Is this mod not available for downloading yet?  It will be nice if it will work with SMF 1.1.3   

[Bulakbol]

Ok, tested with SMF 1.1.3 and it works. It won't delete user #5 and #6. Then I deleted #9 and it deleted it.  Thank you.

Code Select Expand


// Protect the person who started the forum

if ($users == 5 or $users == 6 or @in_array(5, $users) or @in_array(6, $users))
     fatal_error('You\'re not allowed to delete the administrator.');

is anyone using this on 1.1.4?

[SleePy]

The same method JohnyB has posted above would work for 1.1.4.
You will find little differences between 1.1.3 and 1.1.4 as once we released the 1.1 line it was only bug patches and security fixes we are doing

[MisticJeff]

Anyone have any further info on this working with 1.1 RC3??  I tried inserting the code into Subs-Members.php and then tried deleting the named admin and it allowed me to...

Yes, and it works great!

I've updated my first post to reflect JohnyB's suggested code change
