Guests can post also if they have no permission

[Hunnenkoenig]

I checked everywhere. Guests have no permission to write, but they have an "answer" button after all and they can write as guests if they fill out the form for name and email.

Where can I disable this? I searched the forum, but I couldn't find anything.

SMF 1.1.6

Permissions

Please check at the link provided.

Just go into your permissions list and check the guest, and see what is going on.

Can you by any chance PM me a account with admin permissions and also a test account to have a look over both the sides ?

[Hunnenkoenig]

I have sent you an email, because there was no option for PM :-)

Thanks for help.

EDIT: I am stupid... I found the PM :-P

Anyways, tell me if I should resend the info by PM or is it cool with email too.

eh, why didnt you tell me your website was non-english ? I understand 4 languages only. (English,Hindi,Marathi and Gujarati)

I have to now figure out there the options are..

EDIT:-
I cant login via admin !

[Hunnenkoenig]

I have set up your accounts so that you use english automatically, when you log in.

I think, you will find the log in button for sure

The admin account doesnt work. Please check.

[Hunnenkoenig]

Now it should work.

I suspect it is due to the theme you are using..

Current Templates   1.0   1.1

It is out of date. Use the 1.1.x themes and it might solve it out.

Are member not deleting their accounts thus showing them up as guest posting     

[Hunnenkoenig]

I think too that it's the theme. They simply let the answer button in or they don't take it out if member is guest, respectively.

I will look at the code. Thanks anyways.

@DirtRider: I don't exactly understand what you mean. I know, if a member deleted his/her account, it shows up as guest post, but it was a new post from one of the known members (posted as guest with the same name), which made me suspicious and then I tested it myself. I was not logged in and I could write everywhere, just by giving a name and an email adress.

Registered and logged in members can post normally.

[DirtRider]

Ok then it is not the members deleting the account so it must point towards the theme. Why don't you just try it on the default them. Just enable the user can change them option try it then you will know for sure     

[Hunnenkoenig]

I tried with the default theme too... i think. I believe, something went wrong with the conversion from IPB 2.3 because my polls are also gone for ever, but it's not a big problem.

I made a workaround. In Display.theme.php where it manages to display "reply.gif" I edited the lines

Code Select Expand

if ($context['can_reply'])

to

Code Select Expand

if ($context['can_reply'] && $context['user']['is_logged'])

Now it works as intended.

It is strange that this bug appears only with the reply button, nothing else.
