How do I allow members to ignore moderators/administrators?

[CTXMedia]

Since there are no ignore system settings can anyone advise on how I would be able to allow my members to ignore moderators and/or administrators?

Thanks,
Shaun

You will need an add-on to do this properly, to override the core functionality.

Fair enough ... I was just wondering if there was a bit of PHP I could edit/comment out that would remove the exclusion and allow people to ignore mods/admins?

 

[ragtek]

XenForo_Model_UserIgnore::canIgnoreUser and remove/comment out

if ($user['is_moderator'] || $user['is_admin'])
{
if ($setError)
{
$error = new XenForo_Phrase('staff_members_may_not_be_ignored');
}
return false;
}

You will need too to edit a template to show the Ignore link in the admin/mod profiles.

Yes, you can do that using the edit ragtek posted above.
You will have to remember to redo it on every upgrade though.

$error = new XenForo_Phrase('staff_members_may_not_be_ignored');
}
return false;

Just a though - can I modify that first line so that you can ignore everyone except the Admin/Owner user account? (In my case, User ID: 1)

Cheers,

True!

class Ragtek_TeamIgnore_Model_UserIgnore extends XFCP_Ragtek_TeamIgnore_Model_UserIgnore
{
public function canIgnoreUser($userId, array $user, &$error = '')
{
 
$return = parent::canIgnoreUser($userId, $user, $error);
if ($return == false AND $error == new XenForo_Phrase('staff_members_may_not_be_ignored') AND $user['user_id'] != 1)
{
return true;
}
return $return;
}
}

Thanks again ...

Any particular reason why you would allow users to ignore staff members? Just out of curiosity

Because staff members are forum members too ...

Of course anyone who ignores a staff member does so at their peril - which will be explained to them!!

This would make a great official mod, I believe.
