How to disable a admin function!?

[nvcnvn]

For some reason, I want disable the package function in admin panel.

I want when some one (another admin...) click on the Packages link, he will see some message instead of the normal page!!!

Please help me to do this!

this would require a mod, you should post in the mod request board.

Try K@ method first, if that don't work as you have expected then try method mentioned below.

I haven't tested the code that much, so do make backup of your file before editing it

open Sources\Admin.php

Find:

Code Select Expand

'packages' => array(
'label' => $txt['package'],
'file' => 'Packages.php',
'function' => 'Packages',
'permission' => array('admin_forum'),
'icon' => 'packages.gif',
'subsections' => array(
'browse' => array($txt['browse_packages']),
'packageget' => array($txt['download_packages'], 'url' => $scripturl . '?action=admin;area=packages;sa=packageget;get'),
'installed' => array($txt['installed_packages']),
'perms' => array($txt['package_file_perms']),
'options' => array($txt['package_settings']),
),
),



Replace it with:

Code Select Expand

'packages' => ($context['user']['id'] == 1) ? array(
'label' => $txt['package'],
'file' => 'Packages.php',
'function' => 'Packages',
'permission' => array('admin_forum'),
'icon' => 'packages.gif',
'subsections' => array(
'browse' => array($txt['browse_packages']),
'packageget' => array($txt['download_packages'], 'url' => $scripturl . '?action=admin;area=packages;sa=packageget;get'),
'installed' => array($txt['installed_packages']),
'perms' => array($txt['package_file_perms']),
'options' => array($txt['package_settings']),
),
): array('label' => '', 'file' => '', 'function' => '', 'permission' => '', 'icon' => '', 'subsections' => ''),

You could create a special "lower admin" membergroup, to which you can assign the permissions you wish (much more than global moderators have), but do not assign "Administrate forum and database" to them. Then add who you want to this group.

It needs edits for RC3 and RC4.  I've tried it, and it fails 5 or more files.

Thanks for all of your help! It's helpfull!

I will try the method of Joker and illori instead of using a mod.

The reason is....:
I going to share my hosting with my freinds, and install SMF for him.
But I do not belive him 100%, he a realy... disruptive. So I tring to disaple all the function which maybe help him do something wrong! Start with package manager!

Just out of topic, do you really want to work with such person? as you must have 100% faith in your partner if you want to work with him/her.

Oh Gawd, don't ever give admin powers to someone you cannot trust 100%

Once I'd left a forum where I used to be Site Admin a Mod was promoted, against my recommendation, whereupon he ran riot. Needless to say my account was first on his hit list!
